How was seat allocation done?

 

[Deena]

What a wonderful experience. Loving the photos

 

[ReLoad]

Any chance the menu can be installed in mainline operations? It's a billion percent better than what is going around nowdays!

How was seat allocation done?

You could request aisle or window but we were given our BPs at check in with seats done. Most of J was for VIPs.

The safety demo

All in all the day raised $115,000 for the Western Queensland drought appeal. There were a number of prizes auctioned in flight ( original painting of Retro Roo, 3 nights in BKK and flights, dinner at a Neil Perry Joint etc etc). Blooming pilots chimed in over the PA with some winning bids! Who wants to piss off a pilot??! ( Edit: they were big bids!)

A really fun day, I think everyone had a ball.

Very well done to Qantas, their staff and all concerned.

The Cosmo on boarding was one of many on board thrills.

The first QANTAS hangar was packed with history. Wonderful.

Looks like a great day and well done to all involved.

But, real BPs? Didn't anybody know how to recreate them from days of yore?
