Early flight SYD-MEL this week. I wish I got a better photo - this one doesn't do it justice. Tasted great. The sourdough does get a bit tough in the oven but I would say it was the best breakfast I've had in VA J.

I saw people carrying towels around today in Sydney. I assume they were having showers. The lounge was an absolute s#%t show. Way too many people for the space. They really need to open up upstairs again. I know there has been some delays today but still it was uncomfortable as most areas were...

IXJ has finally had a facelift. The put in the new slim seats. The phone/tablet holder is great - Still no barrier between J & Y. I reckon I've been on this plane around half a dozen times in the past 3 months. The yellow cloth seating reminded me a humid SE Asian flying back in the...

IXJ is still flying around with the fluoro Y seats. I wonder how far off the new interior is? I have somehow managed to fly on this bird 4 times in just over 4 weeks. Out of MEL, BNK and OOL.

Same as my experience last week on Friday. I may have got lucky in that I was through in about 15 minutes from the terminal parking to lounge. That right hand lane is awesome at security. I wouldn't arrive at T4 - it's back and forth and up and down. You want to walk in the main doors at T3 -...

That looks very ordinary. @dk4, was that on the MEL-SYD route?

I think there is an overseas call centre after hours. Could it be you called before 5am?

Gross. It is a different flying experience. It's amazing what the interior fitout and livery can do to a flight. Also AIRwin, I can assure you that wasn't my foot!

MEL - SYD mid afternoon last week - The chicken salad. BNK-SYD - This is the pearl cous cous salad with prosciutto which was the only meal option. It's a short flight so I can understand why there isn't a hot option. I actually think both these dishes are very good. Virgin trying not to...

In the SYD domestic J lounge for an hour. It's actually pretty quiet. We went past T2 and it looked like a zoo.

Priority screening was open in Melbourne both Wednesday and Thursday when I came through. Airport had settled down after that chaos I saw late last week. I had this in the Sydney lounge on Wednesday - is this a new salad or have I not been paying attention?

It was a bit disorganised this morning. I left the lounge around 9.30 for my flight to Melb. Just missed you!

Everyone is a food blogger these days. Don't worry about it. PDB working..

MEL-SYD Wednesday lunch. Cajun Chicken Toastie with Swiss Cheese. It was pretty good - I actually haven't had this before. A knife and fork job as others have said above. The Turkish Bread doesn't fare too well being twice cooked. Alternative was the Vegetable Tart thing with relish...

Oh boy. Here we go again.
