As usual, my trip starts at Hobart Airport and I'll save people the usual grizzles. The QP wasn't packed and we were on time, and boarded via the usual HBA charming cattle-runs. Qantas did pull a fast one, however. My J seat turned into whY when they did an aircraft swap.

I'm a big fan of the Flighty app. It told me what I might expect re timeliness, and where the inbound plane was, that my plane was 'well seasoned' and the anticipated flight schedule.

Also the actual flight track, once the flight plan is filed (Flighty gives you an alert when this occurs).

One funny thing on this flight was one of the FAs - a trainee, by her badge - had a really broad coughney accent , and dropped every 'g' goin'. Welcome to Country was 'different' 
In the MEL J lounge I had a nice pork dish with an ordinary pinot grigio

Delighted to read the AFR in flight via wi-fi and I asked for Economy cheese and crackers, but was met with a rather grave response by the FA that 'We don't do cheese and crackers in business - we have a cheese plate'. OK, and it was pretty good - room temp as well.
