[Jupiterrocket]

I wish I’d slipped an emergency card into my bag on the last trip. Hindsight, eh?

How was it?!! Any bubbles on board? Saw you fly overhead!

Found this on youtube:

Quite a comprehensive review!

Plenty of bubbles

A sad reminder on my phone when I picked it up this morning. Ironic with the last Brisbane flight tomorrow as well.
The app a little confused. This flight (well, QF63) would have been our second last 747 flight

Just watched OEJ fly around BNE city. I feel sad knowing I’ll not ever see another 747 with a red kangaroo on its tail fly over our house. Took some pics and will post when I get back home

I was watching the BNE final departure on the Ch7 YouTube channel and may have commented once or twice

Can anyone confirm if the QP/J lounge (BNE) opened for this? It was still closed on Sunday but I read it should be opened for this flight.

Hopefully it stays open if it did.

It was opened specifically to accommodate the pax for this flight - I believe only the business lounge will remain open for the time being - QP pax can use the business lounge while it's the only one open - pending headcount and social distancing rules.

Neither was opened Sunday (I am WP so can access J lounge regardless). Their page still says "Mid Jul" for Brisbane.

Today was the first day the J lounge opened.

Just curious, what was in the gift bags provided to those in J?

Hopefully someone that graced J will respond - it was more significant than what we got down the back.

Been taking zero interest in this, like all AFL supporters should (Well that was the best way I could think of the major cities that missed out on the opportunity to farewell the QF 747, only the predominantly rugby ones got a look in).

Not as many flights as some, I think I took about 30 QF 747 flights over a 10 year period. Just checked and I didn't realise my last such flight was now over 10 years ago, in June 2010.

Rugby or Rugby League? Would not call any of them predominantly Rugby. Canberra maybe.

Rugby or Rugby League?

There's a difference ?
