QANTAS: Special PJs, meals and amenity kits for new Paris route

As of 12 July, Qantas will offer direct flights to Paris from Perth, the capital of Western Australia. Qantas is introducing French-inspired menus, limited-edition pyjamas and amenity kits to mark the new route.

Qantas did the same for the Rio Olympics and the inauguration of other routes. It’s mainly a cute PR exercise, but there are Qantas loyalists who collect these things and are willing to spend actual money to purchase them from the Qantas Marketplace.

“We know how much our customers love our signature pyjamas and relaxing with a drink and meal when they fly with us, so we’re excited to launch these bespoke initiatives to give them a taste of the city of light before they land.”

Catriona Larritt, Qantas Group Chief Customer and Digital Officer

The goodies you get

The Martin Grant pyjamas you get will be a limited-edition which you can team with matching amenity kits, if you are travelling in Business Class.

The Jim-Jams will be in navy, with a graphic that depicts the journey between Australia and France. Martin Grant as a Paris resident, is over the moon:

“After living in Paris for the past 30 years, the direct Perth-Paris flights will make it easy to fly from one home to another. I was thrilled to be able to team up with Qantas again to create the pyjamas and amenity kit to celebrate these new flights and the simplicity of French design.”

Of course, Neil Perry, the Qantas Creative Director of Food, Beverage and Service has got in on the act too.

“French cuisine is made up of so many amazing classic dishes, we spent a lot of time developing a menu that captures the balance of richness and freshness in French flavours whilst also keeping an element of familiarity that our customers love.”

If you are hitting a First or Business Lounge around the launch, then expect to find these being served crème caramel and goat’s cheese salad with walnut vinaigrette.

So this is what you will get for the launch of the flight:

• Bouillabaisse of snapper & Skull Island prawns
• Pithivier of chicken & tarragon with onion puree
• Chocolate mousse with caramel poached pears, almonds & chantilly cream
• French 75 cocktail (gin, lemon and sparkling wine)

Longer term on the route, you can choose from options like:

• Beef fillet with pomme puree, snow peas & Café de Paris butter
• Fresh tuna Nicoise salad with olives, green beans, & lemon dressing
• Coq au vin with pancetta, mushrooms, potato puree & snow peas
• Duck and pistachio pâté en croûte with cornichons, radishes & watercress
