Unlike for US airlines, Qantas has baggage weight policies that tend to force you to check bags rather than use carry-ons. Qantas was pretty quick at making checked bags available in baggage claim, but expect to go to baggage claim.

Better to take your own food. We were in a back row and items we would have purchased were unavailable.
