Just months after Qatar Airways’ new chief executive vowed to bring back first class, the airline has upped the ante for business class travellers with caviar to feature on its menu.

Starting immediately, business class travellers from Melbourne and Sydney will be offered 15 grams of a classic Baeri caviar imported from the Caspian Sea on flights to and from Doha. The luxury is typically only afforded to first class travellers on airlines such as Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Etihad, Air France, Korean Airlines, Lufthansa and Japan Airlines. Qantas offers a caviar tartlet, rather than a full service, in its first class cabin.
