Got here early and unfortunately no lounge access for the joy flight. If you spot a fellow in a tan short trench coat with a QLink bag come say hi. Currently sitting between gates 7 & 8 at the high benches.

Just got into Canberra from Sydney and was trying to get into the lounge - no luck there. They said it is for Business customer today and citing “Covid restrictions”. Very annoying given we flew in from Sydney with a 4 hour wait and this is inconsistent with what has been happening in SYD and BNE.

Just a few pointers for todays flight.
Yes you can take the safety card, they look like a new print run just for this event.
There are no Qantas magazines in the seat pockets.
In economy there was a small packet of food with water and a few nibbles.
If you want alcohol from economy go for a walk to business class, of course they will from time to time to tell you to sit down.
The plane will usually fly at a low altitude low for what you would normally fly so the view if you have a window seat is pretty good.
They also hand out a last 747 flight sheet which is a nice touch along with a bag and hat.

Did you notice VH-OEJ at Gate 10 in SYD?

There is a bus into the city from outside the terminal. It is a lovely day for a walk around the lake and you will have plenty of time for that. Have a great day.

I think you may find the ACT government has imposed a restriction on venues to a maximum of 100 patrons per indoor space or outdoor space, or one patron per 4 square metres, whichever is lesser.

Does anyone know what the flight route is likely to be? Don’t have a seat and can’t get to the airport today. Would like to see the plane in flight from home if possible!

I think the plan was to meet at gate 11. I’ve just parked, will be there shortly and wearing a red & white shirt!

I’m sitting near gate 11 now.

And she’s just landed!

I'm hanging around gate 11 as well, will probably go up and hang around gate 4 in 15 or so.

I’m not going to make it to gate 11. Mr Seat 0B busy catching up with old RAAF mates. So look for me at gate 4 and say hi. I have a white shirt, pink scarf and a long pale pink cardigan. Down the far end near the gate.
