Several years past, sitting on the ramp at Tullamarine, waiting for catering ordered from the Crown. Pax show up, but no catering yet. Handler is on the phone, reports the Crown has delivered the catering (something like $1,000 USD per seat). Unfortunately, the driver delivered the catering to the Crown plane, crew happily boarded it for the ferry flight to SYD. We had 8 hours to K-L sans food with 8 unhappy pax. The good news was lead passenger knew Crown top management and we didn't get billed for it.
