[QF WP]

We are mostly in the roped off area near the Spa - just saw Newk's QF 11 take off, but we didn't see him, a pity we missed you.

AJ is up in the VIP rooms being interviewed by the hacks. We are sitting back enjoying the QF fare and playing with our toys

Food photos to come, just starting

 

[Craigie]

I don't really have a dog in the fight re DXB being Qantas' new gateway to Europe but there's something exciting about the inaugural flight, so guys thank you and just be aware you've got 1 really jealous bloke having a lazy sunday hanging off your every word

 

[blackcat20]

Loving the photos. Have an awesome trip!!

 

[markis10]

And look who joined us in the F lounge!

 

[Pushka]

I'm on my iPhone in a country town with slow Internet. So photos taking for ever. So who just joined you?

 

[markis10]

And now we have Mr Joyce, Mr Smith and the Chairman of QF, Mr Lieigh Clifford joining us!

 

[Pushka]

Neil Perry. Of course.

You ask, we give:

 

[Storyteller]

Are you having finger food / small plates / meal options? That is, if you have had time between the people to talk to & planes to look at... Being back in 34A your food will be nice enough, but not in the same league! Did I mention jealousy in the past 24 hours?

 

[cmon0005]

You ask, we give:

LW & Markis10 "You're the reason we fly"

 

[PrincessK]

Is AJ as small as he appears in those photos?? Enjoy guys - what an awesome experience!

 

[ellen10]

Enjoying your reporting, looking forward to more.

How's PB going?

 

[anat0l]

Seeing as we're about to shut off from our esteemed mods for about 14 hours or so, this is where QF inflight internet would've been nice.

Ah well.

Bon voyage, gentlemen! We'll hear from you on the other side of the Indian.
