QF860 Inaugural Flight

[Pablo]

I snuck into 4C at T-80, but someone at Qantas just moved me to 18D

Did you take a certain P1's seat???

I did my OLCI this morning at T-23:55 for QF400 and am seq 2. Fair enough. (LiamR???)

As my flights are linked I could check in for QF860 as well, even though it was T-27. Seq 23!!! What the? :shock:
Maybe all the QF execs get advanced advance check-in, or lots of people are flying long-haul for the flight.

QF861/439 both seq 1 at T-29/T-32 so happy now.

I may have been sitting in bed at 6:01 this morning and checked myself in

Seq 1 for QF400
Seq 22 for QF860

Very strange, oh well.

At T-24 (give or take 1-2 minutes) 860 gave me seq 33, so as you said.. either a lot of long haul folk, or
the QF folk got in real early.

861 was seq 2, within a few seconds of it hitting T-24

Now how did I guess that it was you who pipped me for seq 1 on QF400?

OLCI? Why not just NGCI when you get to MEL!?

Cos for an inaugural flight it is all about the seq on the BP. Well, for some!

:shock: I thought just being on the inaugural flight was crazy enough!

Even craziness has a scale.

I don't even know how....

Well I'll be kicking your seat for an entire 90mins

This is why your boarding pass with those mean things on it didn't bother me

Thank you for the information. Only 2 months old. I am not sure if it has been named yet; it could be one of the 'reason we fly' planes.

A nice new aircraft - Leeton - two months old.
