KUL-SIN lounge crawl 9 June 2019

[samh004]

Oh dear! Extended holiday for those of QF36? Are you lot still onboard or disembarked from the plane?

Onboard but the seat belt sign has just gone off.

Seems an odd choice if a successful engine test was to result in immediate pushback.

Not an incredibly good sign..

There could be another problem to worry about. With this being the party flight for AFF, if they don’t take off soon, all of you may drink them dry before wheel up!

The drinks stopped when the door closed!

Some of us have had discussions with the FAs about who needs to be RSAd.

Flying Nancy Bird out of SIN - what could possibly go wrong!

The @JohnK curse continues. I was the only one on QF2 and it departed on time. On way to domestic now. Only a few om transfer bus.

Oh well. Sadly Ill be at SYD by the time you land. Hope it all runs a little better for you now. At least you'll have a lovely breakfast on board to look forward to.

 

[Hvr]

We've landed!

Here's our chariot at SIN gate C23 (first time) ...

Coming into MEL ... fly past ... it would have been dark if ontime ...

The lamb chops were very nice as was the mango juice.

Lamb chops were indeed very nice.

Home now. A fantastic time was had and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole event. My first time in Kuala Lumpar and definitely a place to visit again.

Great company and food on Saturday night and then visiting lots of lounges Sunday in two countries was fun.

The delay on the trip home allowed the QF staff to show just how well they cope with IRROPS. Damned well. Their friendly professional demeanor shone through at all times even though they were going like the clappers behind the scene to cover all possible contingencies.

Safety before schedule is the mantra I want to hear whenever there is a potential issue with engines etc.

Thanks to our organiser and here's to 2020. I have a vision it will be a an awesome event.
