Arrived at Melbourne Airport at T-4 hours. Sadly the China Airlines check in counters were yet to open. Opened on the dot of T-3 hours. Once checked in all very efficient. The express pass through security was entirely unnecessary as it was very quiet. A quick stop at the TRS office for a claim then onto the lounge.
CI are currently using the Marhaba Lounge which is OK if a bit undersupplied. Buffet food only - but I will say the butter chicken was very tasty. ShelleyB-son also gave the meatballs a big tick of approval. Plenty of self serve wine, but Mr. ShelleyB got one of the last beers (at 7pm) and the fridges have remained empty since.
