Would have been a lovely bonus in economy too.

yes lots of shadows!!

 

[cambriamarsh]

Very full? Any particular reason?

 

[Quickstatus]

No idea, but can think of a number of possibilities
The most likely reason which does not really provide any insight is "operational reason"

The Brazil vs Argentina Soccer friendly was on Friday evening at the MCG in front of 95,000. I'm guessing there were a bunch of Sydney fans travelling down to Melbourne for the game. The standard Friday SYD-MEL equipment includes 737's with the occasional A330. The addition of 2 * 744 SYD-MEL flights would allow an additional 600+ passengers to make the trip. The MEL-SYD sectors may have been lightly loaded.

A number of years ago due a massive rainstorm closing the SYD airport and causing many cancellations, my Jetstar flight was amended to a free Hotel Stay and a flight back to MEL on a brand new Qantas A380 which probably makes me on of the very few that have flown this route on an A380

During the flight I went for a walk and got chatty with the flight staff who then kindly gave me a private tour of the F Cabin.

Would have been a tale to tell if a JQ ticket had an opup to F as an outcome

Just spare a thought for the cabin crew, they are used to long haul and short haul isn't their thing.

Yes no feeding the chooks and turning the lights out
And no slip $$$

It is really surprised that all the seats were full. Very difficult situation.
