Catering on this flight was crowd-pleasing cheese and crackers. Not particularly substantial but there aren’t all that many people who would object to this particular snack.

I wasn’t paying enough attention to what was happening in row 3 to hear what the options were in J this afternoon.
Interestingly the captian mentioned a relatively low cruise of 26,000 feet today due to headwinds. Even more interestingly, using in flight wifi to look at FR24 I can see that QF and JQ aircraft from BNE and OOL to Syd are flying low while VA’s route planners have them up at 38 or 40,000. I also notice that we are flying 70 knots faster than a VA 738 cruising directly above us.
One other point of difference on this domestic hop is that when we hit some chop and the seatbelt sign was turned on, the customary “all passengers and crew be seated” announcement was followed by one in very fluent Japanese for the benefit of those kids presumably…or for the FA to show off his excellent language skills. Much better than my very pedestrian 日本語, despite the fact I lived there for a number of years two decades ago.
