Ok here we go, my first TR, I'm interested to see how this plans out.
12th January 2010 - QF1010 HBA-MEL - Business
Got up at a very early hour of the morning to get ready for my first flight, I was pretty excited that I was seeing my Relatives for the first time in about ten years, especially since the last time I saw my cousins they were both little babies.
Arrived at Hobart at around 5:15am for a 6:05am departure, Flight was full to the brim (might have something to do with only two HBA-MEL QF flights), economy PAX were lined up paitently waiting and I got a few stares of death as I walked down the Business check in line, check in was smooth and I recieved my BP's right through even though both legs were on a seperate ticket, was commented by the check in agent about how lucky I was to get a U class upgrade on this flight.
We left HBA right on 6:05am, would have to have been the smoothest takeoff i have ever experienced on QF, pilot was very in control, was offered breakfast (Accepted of course) consisting of Museil of some sort, and a warm quiche pie thingy, was quite nice even though I am not really a museli person, tray was taken from me as soon as i had finished, could not really fault Qantas at all on this flight in regards to the service, but i will say that my Headset was playing up the whole way (crackly and alternating between ears, touched down in MEL at 7:15am and I went directly to Gate 7 for my next flight.
12th January 2010 - QF608 MEL-BNE - Economy Class
Departed MEL late due to strong winds, this flight felt weird all the way as the business seat was so much bigger, the 734's have really seen better days though, was seated next to some Dweeb (there was a worse word but I can't say it here) who kept turning around to his friends in the next row knocking me multiple times in the process, was offered breakfast again and I accepted, once again it was museli but this one was really nice (it was called Granola or something and I have since bought a box of it.) meal tray also had some hot fruit bun thing which was as hard as a rock but still tasty, service took a little longer but I took my own tray to the back of the cabin anyway when i asked for more orange juice. flight was really uneventful and my headset worked well on this flight.
Brisbane Airport really needs to get baggage handling up to stratch, all the passengers from the flight and another two flights passed before I even saw my bag again.
Brisbane Airport - Sunshine Coast
Phone Rang as soon as I switched it on in the arrivals hall at BNE, it was the Shuttle Bus driver (Col's airport shuttle i think it is called), he asked where i was and said he would pick me up early as they had two buses at BNE, this is really a great service overall, it cost $40 to get dropped to the front door of my Aunt's house in Buderim and the driver was really friendly making jokes and giving advice on things to do, public transport, shopping etc., i highly recommend this service to anyone heading up that way from BNE.
Well thats it for this leg, i will post on BNE-HBA when I get back to HBA
Cheers,
Josh
