    Qantas Trans Tasman Pretend IFE

    Yes about 50% 737 trans-Tasman have phantom ife, and 50% shorter selection list. Whereas bne-wlg (on e190) has no ife at all. Need to make sure your device is charged up as also no power source onboard available to pax.

    Qantas bus gates in Sydney

    Nearly all my intl flights at syd get bus gate. Very common early am for flights to and from nz. Worst stand to get is over by domestic, which on departure guarantees at least 30 mins late and on arrival it is a painful hour to complete transit to domestic terminal that was so close.

    In my case the lack of invites isn't related to lack of many years of high sc earn but rather because I'm in the eastern isles.
