$2 per portion, albeit small sized portions. The parking fees at the airport will probably outweigh the meal saving. Unless Melbourne airport parking is still free. I recall a couple months ago, airport parking was free.

  Parking is not needed. Have you ever seen a catering building located at the passenger terminals???
Kuyaozb on 16/06/2020 - 10:26

if this is air asia meal will definately order sets.
trisnadi on 16/06/2020 - 11:29

In the reception area, they list companies they’re supplying to and Air Asia is not there. Interestingly Qantas and RailCorp is there so there is a possibility these are not economy airline meals we understand it to be. We assumed it's economy because of the tray situation but they never said these meant to be used by airlines. The packaging also seems to be for microwave use not ovens as we normally see on planes (aluminium with lid). I don't suddenly expect them to be gourmet meals but thought I share my observations.

I also found this back story about the operation if anyone is interested: https://australianaviation.com.au/2019/01/fast-fresh-and-fly…

  Qantas does not use GateGourmet. They used to use their own catering 'Q Catering' which then got sold to DNATA Catering which they now use.
  They may supply Jetstar though, not sure.
  - trisnadi on 16/06/2020 - 12:00
    
    Yes that's what I thought too. QC was sold to DNATA in 2018 but the article above from 2019 stated "The Sydney and Cairns flight kitchens were bought from Qantas’s catering arm Q Catering in 2012.". I'm only reporting what I saw at GG Sydney. If it's a false/misleading claim they should address it accordingly. Perhaps they're still supplying Qantas outside of in-flight meals, I don't know. Doesn't really matter in the context of this deal. Maybe someone can ask when they collect their order at GG Sydney?

      The kitchens, not the company. Doesn't mean Qantas still uses them.
      - Tony-Abbott on 22/06/2020 - 15:51
        
        @[Deactivated]: Qantas have a 10yr agreement with DNATA, so they don't use Gate Gourmet at all locally.

Picked up mine today. Packaging indicates its for Virgin Australia. In my opinion the lunch/dinners are much better than a woolies/coles small frozen meal by far, the chicken mango curry 220g? I just had was pretty tasty with proper chunks of chicken. I also got veg lasagna 255g, thai yellow curry 295g? and beef bourguignon 220g?. Meals are small though - I'm not fussed as on a diet but some might need 2 or 3 meals.
Breakfast is similar in size… except fot the french toast mixberry 125g. Not even one slice! The other options I got were scramblesd eggs and ratatouille 270g and tomato and mushroom fritata 185g.

Some packs have weights. Where I've got '?' No weight so I've just weighed it and roughly subtracted the weight of the pack. Hope this helps.

  Just picked up. Unfortunately they gave me 5 beef bourguignon and 5 potato & ricotta gnocchi. I was hoping for more variety. Picking up another order next week, fingers crossed.
  
  Also, I realised they were made in Mascot, NSW. I honestly thought they were made in the facility locally. Just an observation.
  - INFIDEL on 17/06/2020 - 14:43
    
    Got the same (lack of) choices in main meals. But OK by me.
    Use by dates:
    beef bourguignon 260g (9/8)
    potato & ricotta gnocchi 273g (30/7)
    
    Breakfasts were 5 each of
    Egg White Omelette 210g (16/7)
    Mushroom, Spinach & Cheese Fritter 165g (10/7).
    Better than the toast others got!
  - INFIDEL on 17/06/2020 - 15:09
    
    Don't know where this was manufactured - it says made by GG Mascot, but that is the business name, not necessarily where it was made!
    
    And no indication who it was made for!
    
    I think the trucks outside had just delivered them. The drivers were hanging around when I arrived.

      I had both the beef bourguignon and gnocchi. They were delicious! The gnocchi was way more filling than I expected, the beef not so. Eating both together is enough for a full meal. I put them in the oven for 20 minutes.

        @j0hnd0e: Ate the beef bourguignon - mainly mash, not bad, but preferred the vegetarian gnocchi with its tasty sauce.
        
        Breakfasts:
        The vegetarian omelette was pretty bland. Added some caramelised onion relish.
        
        The Mushroom, Spinach & Cheese Fritter was small but very tasty.
        
        If only we knew if there are to be different meals next week - would order again.

  Picked mine up from Brisbane, a few cars coming in, great set up for pickup! I ordered 2 of the lunch/dinner packs but seems like I've scored extras in mine of some of the breakfasts. Agree on the not much variety on the meat front, but the two big Woolies bags of food will do nicely for small working from home lunches!

Just collected from Melbourne. Was almost an hours drive home. Meals stayed nice and cold in those $2.50 chiller bags you can buy from coles. I ordered 2 x breakfast and 2 x main meals separately, not the combo.

Breakfast meals: Mushroom, Spinach & Cheese Fritter 165g, Egg White Omlette 210g, Banana Bread & Apple Compote 180g

Main meals: Potato & Ricotta Gnocchi 273g, Beef Massaman & Jasmine Rice 270g, Chicken Mango Curry, 261g, Chicken & Mushroom stew 250g, Beef Rendang & Jasmine Rice 261g, Beef Bourguignon 260g, Chicken Parmigiana 290g

Good value, thanks OP.

    When you choose individually you get the choice of vegetarian and non vegetarian (implied). The combo does not give you this option, so I wanted to see if I'd get more non vegetarian meals this way, which I did.

Just picked up from Perth. I got a bit confused as it wasn't the address listed in the email, instead it was a unit a couple of doors down (I should have realised by the number of people there!).

3 other people were picking up at the same time I was - I'm guessing they had a lot of orders.

I ordered 2 X vegetarian 10 packs. I have no idea what the meals actually are, as they don't have labels unlike the pics others have posted. I'm set for a few mystery lunches!

The team confirmed the purple coloured packs are vegetarian, so those picking up mixed combos should be able to see at a glance how many meat vs veg meals they have.

  Same here in Perth haha, nice folks working there and seems pretty good for what was paid, can't go wrong. Mine didn't have labels at all either, so bit of a lucky dip!

One thing worth noting is that the boxes are not airtight, they have a cardboard lid but no plastic film. This means that they'll probably won't last as long in a domestic freezer (especially if it's frost-free) unless you put them in a ziplock bag or something like that. It's probably fine for a few weeks but I wouldn't plan to buy tons and keep them around for months without using some additional packaging
- sonome on 17/06/2020 - 18:52
  
  Excellent point!
- j0hnd0e on 17/06/2020 - 20:10
  
  You can set pick up dates up to end of the year. I'd reccomend setting up a pick up date every month or so ;) this way you'll guaranteed get a meal for the rest of the year for $2.50 a pop.
tommohawk on 17/06/2020 - 19:43

Picked my 20 meal pack up today, at BNE airport. Just had the Beef Bourguignon for dinner. Not too bad at all. More flavoursome than the frozen meals I normally get from Woolies. I guess that's expected, given the website claims the meals are prepared by professional chefs.

Next time, I'll be buying the dinner/lunch ones instead of the mixed combo pack. At $2.50 per dinner tray vs $2.00 per breakfast tray, with breakfast significantly smaller than dinner, it's a no brainer which is better value.
- j0hnd0e on 17/06/2020 - 20:33

  To be honest, the reason why it's more flavourful is because airlines usually deliberately make airplane foods more flavourful to counteract your diminished tastebuds in the air.
dreamyday on 17/06/2020 - 19:51

Got mine from Melbourne. A bit hard to find in the dark. Staff were lovely. Combo pack. Breakfast 5x banana bread with apple compote 180g 27/6 expiry, 5xegg white omelette 210g 17/7 expiry.
Main meals- beef massaman and rice, lemon chicken, chicken Parma, Mongolian beef with egg noodle, beef bourguignon,and a random beef bulgogi with rice in proper airline foil packaging. All between 270-290g. Expiry mostly in August except Parma 6/7. Frozen solid, didn't need an Esky.

I put one tray in the fridge for 6-ish hours to defrost and it's still frozen lol.

[Deactivated] on 18/06/2020 - 02:22

As per the above comment, the meals out of Perth are unlabelled (no expiry date). I did notice that the full 20 packs were boxed up potentially with this information present on a sticker on the box, I only ordered a 10 pack of breakfasts and the meals were given loose in a plastic bag.

From the ones I've peaked into, it looks like I only got one type of meal, which judging from the linked brochure is the leek & potato fritatta / beef sausage / baked beans or the spinach feta rosemary frittata / chicken sausage / braised beans. Looks really good even frozen. Figure if they are all the same next time I'll just order one veg and one non-veg for varieties sake.

        A deal is an offer for a good price/quality ratio in the specific product category. The product category of airplane food is food. And its price/quality ratio is not good even at zero (again, yes, that's my opinion).

      And all those upvotes! That's a strong opinion by other OzBargainers!
      
      And the comments based on research that airline food taste is influenced by our bodies at altitude - it's not the fault of the food.
      
      And ignoring the effect that bulk heating of the food & likely slow delivery to the passenger in a plane has on influencing the experience. That is very different to us heating it up for ourselves.
      
      This Deal is simply for frozen meals - that have never been on a plane…

        @INFIDEL: Taste is not a measure of quality. In my opinion. That's where we disagree. The disagreement should be allowed and transparent here, rather than "revoked". I didn't "ignore" other people's opinions; I disagree with them (as I do with yours). There's no need for any single opinion to prevail—all opinions should be showed and counted, not revoked or hidden. This one-party system is just plain fascistic.

        @wisdomtooth: I didn't "ignore" other people's opinions; I disagree with them (as I do with yours).
        Trouble is - I didn't say I based my opinion on the quality of this product on taste! I added that I found it was tasty. Taste is very subjective.
        
        You don't even justify why you imagine this product is of low quality - never trying it yourself. The experience is very different to that in flight.
        
        Your opinion is shown.
        I considered the quality of the ingredients in front of me, and on eating them. You didn't!
        
        Opinions based on actual purchase & consumption of the product hold a far higher weight than your theoretical opinion which should hold no weight.
        
        How can you know the quality of the food when you haven't even tried it. That opinion counts for nothing!
        
        And by expressing your biased & unfounded opinion, being downvoted on it - it shows you are able to express it.
        
        If you bought the product & held the opinion it was of poor quality etc - that would be different. But you didn't.
        
        Others are able to express their opinion. And they have with your comments.
        
        You are now asking others not to be able to express an opinion different to yours!
        While demanding your opinion (based on what - an idea you made up in your mind) to be heard??
        
        I'll stick with experienced opinion over biased theoretical thoughts any day!
        
        The OzBargain Voting Guidelines point to your Neg Vote being invalid - your vote was always going to be removed.

        You are now asking others not to be able to express an opinion different to yours!
        
        I'm not. I'm simply asking for my vote not to be "revoked" and my comments not to be greyed out or hidden.
        
        I don't mind you or others criticising my opinion—that's par for the course when one publicly expresses one's opinion. What I'm objecting to is having it censored. I get it that in the vote count one would like to see widely objected opinions weighed less than widely supported ones, but revoking votes is a very poor way of implementing that. Weighing ain't revoking.

        @wisdomtooth: The rules & guidelines of this community, like the OzBargain Voting Guidelines are there for a purpose.
        
        I'm simply asking for my vote not to be "revoked…"
        That would mean others could not express their opinion by downvoting your comment - which you just said you don't want!!
        So you are asking the community guidelines not to apply to you!!
        Who do you think you are??
        
        It's a guideline that Ozbargainers should be aware of. Your vote did not meet the standard set by the community.
        It has been revoked by the community.
        
        Who knows why you expect a comment, based on no actual evidence or personal experience with the product, in which you criticise the product - should not be criticised with downvotes, especially when you couple it with an invalid Neg Vote!
        
        The fastest way on OzBargain to attract neg votes is to complain about neg votes. So expect more, not less😉
        But your comments seem to be designed to attract criticism… So why complain when you get what you intended?
        
        Those who downvoted & continue to downvote your comment are doing what is expected by this community's guidelines!
        
        Using neg votes (a limited resource of 5 per day) is often not what people want to do. I don't.
        
        The Mods have said it is the community responsibility now to remove an invalid Neg Vote by devoting at least 8 times.
        
        If you disagree with how this community operates - take it up with the Mods. Try TWAM.
        
        Discuss the Deal / product, not what you imagine it is.
        
        Your initial comment was useless!
        It seems designed to attract criticism in a very popular Deal - by saying it is Not a Deal based on no justification but your imagination.
        
        Provoking negs & then complaining about them - I think that is a deeper issue than just this Deal…

        Did I? Where? No, I didn't. I said "I don't mind you or others criticising my opinion"—thats the exact opposite of that. You're either misunderstanding what I wrote or deliberately misconstruing it.
        
        If you disagree with how this community operates
        
        I do. Precisely what I expressed when I said it's "a poor way of implementing it".
        
        It has been revoked by the community.
        
        Yeah, that's fascistic. It presumes and promotes homogeneity of opinion.
        
        Who do you think you are??
        
        A member of this community, an OzBargainer.

        @wisdomtooth: Seems you not only criticise the imagined quality of this food without trying it…
        
        But also criticise what people write, without reading / comprehending it!
        
        Handy if you want to believe you are right & others wrong!!
        
        Again you read the opposite of my comment!
        While accusing me of reading the opposite of yours.
        
        I specifically pointed out - in that excerpt, that you said you didn't want to restrict others opinions!
        
        "That would mean others could not express their opinion… which you just said you don't want!!"
        
        But consider what you are asking of this community… Just for you!!
        
        "I'm simply asking for my vote not to be "revoked" and my comments not to be greyed out or hidden."
        
        That would require one of the folowing:
        
        Members not express their opinion as they did
        
        The community rules don't apply to you!
        
        You somehow change the OzBargain rules retrospectively - which won't happen.
        
        Why should everything change just just because you stuffed up?
        
        Maybe consider why your comments are receiving so many neg votes!
        
        And stop complaining how your opinion can't be heard! We can't easily avoid it!!
        
        Your screwed up with your claim that this is Not a deal
        
        It is very much a Deal - a VERY popular one, with 21k clicks!! People comment they have enjoyed the food.
        
        Everything after that is your justification of why you are right & should be heard.
        
        That's a tactic used by children & politicians when they stuff up - & almost no one believes them!
        
        Whether you would or wouldn't eat these is a personal preference, so irrelevant.
        
        Vegans for instance would not be interested in these, because it's very much not Vegan. That's a valid reason.
        
        But personal preferences are not a valid reason for a Neg Vote, by our Voting Guidelines!
        
        So what did the Mods say about the changes you want??
        
        Doesn't seem you understand this community, and think the rules, systems & guidelines don't apply to you - thinking it is only about you!
        This isn't OzYou!!
        
        Have BLOCKED your pointless self-centred comments! Not worth reading.
        
        I'm out!
        Sigh of relief from other Ozbargainers😉

        @INFIDEL: i'm amazed you lasted as long as you did. i wouldn't have as much patience for petulant children who shriek fascism! and chuck tantrums because something didn't go their way. my experience with people who carry on about how important their opinion is are typically insufferably opinionated and domineering.
        
        also, it's amazing for someone who's been on ozbargain for that long but is still oblivious to the way comment voting works? and yet continues to hang around the website despite such vehement objection to certain features of it.

        @tdw: Thanks for that comment.
        
        When considering responding like this (very rarely), I look at the other person's profile. There seemed no other comments like these. No recent history of their comments being negged. A normal Ozbargainer.
        
        (One of my first comments on OzBargain was to question the decision of a Mod. I was sin binned! And earnt my first Badge (Commentator) in that heated discussion!
        So I see nothing wrong in questioning systems - on valid grounds. It's how things can change.)
        
        The person, as you noticed, has been around for 12 years - a long time for an Ozbargainer. The system of revoking a Neg Vote has changed fairly recently, from Reporting for a decision by a Mod. Changes in a system you've been part of for that long can cause discomfort.
        
        So this seems a very unusual response by this Ozbargainer.
        Changes like this can be an indication they may be going through some difficulty, or maybe just a bad day. So talking it out may help.
        
        Few like being negged, especially when they feel strongly about a subject. Commendably, they didn't neg my comments in response.
        
        For me - I was avoiding my own work😉 Now back to work!

  That's terrible. Did you check before you left? I guess you didn't think you would need to.
  Wonder if they will triage the expired ones.
  That's a heads up to others to check the expiry date when they pick up.
  - Jugg.Judy on 19/06/2020 - 21:37
    
    I didn't check on the spot nor expect that would happen, so guys check ONSITE! Btw I pick up from mascot site.

  If it's a best before date, then that's pretty poor form (although not illegal).
  
  However, if it's actually a use by date, then it's actually illegal for them to sell!
  
  I know it's not that much money in the grand scheme of things, but on principle, it would be worth contacting them to let them know and perhaps to push for a refund.

Picked up mine today (boy it was a fair walk from Mascot Station for me….) and they were organised - give your name, wait 2 mins and they hand you the packs pre-bagged already.

I actually think I got more than 20 boxes even though I only paid for the breakfast/lunch/dinner combo and I lucked out and didnt get any of the french toast. I tried one of the meals (mongolian beef with noodles) and really cant complain; portion is small-ish but I can pad that with a decent sandwich.
- Iwantthatbargain on 22/06/2020 - 10:13
  
  Are there no car park nearby?
  
  Also, if you order combo, there is no drop-down box option to select Veg/non-veg
  - stigsphilocousin on 24/06/2020 - 19:09
    
    You can drive in to their compound (on the street entrance follow the signs saying Staff/Visitors) and no you cant pick what will be in the combo but chances are that you will get a mix of veg and non-veg. The non-veg options tend to be breakfast (eggs and the like) and the yellow curry and mee goreng noodles for lunch/dinner.

We got ours last week. Good deal. Just bought one 10 meal pack for lunches during the week. Most expiry Aug, some end of July. Good mix of meals, some more tasty than others, but all comparable to a supermarket meal. Meals are for Virgin based on packaging. I’m buying more this weekend.
Here are some examples of what we got….
