If I was in Sydney I would! I've not been on the 777 yet...

Kind of tempting to do a joy ride MEL-SYD-MEL ... is anyone else thinking the same?

Also - wondering whether Velocity status pax travelling on a premium fare will be in the J cabin?

hahaha that would be hilarious just to be on a flight full of AFFers.

We thought this one might interest you!

It will be a limited service, and the J cabin will be run as PE.
There will be no self-service bar.

Check in will be one hour prior, from the domestic terminal.

Its pretty exciting to see her on the domestic network!

I'm thinking of it, particularly since it will qualify for double SCs for me under the current offer.

Great news , but didn't think the 777 would fit the domestic terminal . I assume it will be out of Gate 40 , where you depart your 330's ?

The thought had crossed my mind. Can get up to SYD in the morning for $135, then back in Premium (J seats?) for 10400 points + $20. Very tempting.

Oops, no it won't:

Book before 30 October 2011

It's still tempting, but maybe a little less so.

Booked a return trip. Leaving MEL very early on DJ803, and then coming home on DJ9502. First time on a B777.

Just to confirm, I have already checked in online. Is this OK? Or do I have to recheck once I get there? And will it be leaving from T2 or T1?

pics!! please.

Did you book in PE, if so, i hope you get seated in J!

Looks like boarding from T2 Gate 41 then you'll go via bus over to INTL.

No, but when I went to check it allowed me to choose anywhere in the plane, so I chose 2K and I seemed to go through (i,e I printed the boarding pass). But now when I look at the booking my seat selection is gone and it wont allow me to recheck in. I think this means we will have to check in at the airport. But as a gold member I still hope I get to sit in PE or J.

If anyone knows this will really help a lot.

P.S. Lots of pics and a report, will be done. I will also be doing a live twitter feed. @A380Production

Does this mean we wont be able to take over 150mm of liquids or whatever the limit is?

No you should be able to as you are technically departing from a domestic terminal.

 

[notzac]

OK, so another two AFF'ers in J on the 777 ..

Did you manage to check in online?

You can only check in once with DJ. So not being able to recheck isn't necessarily a problem.
