Same author posted a follow-up video today focusing on the how the plug attaches to the airframe - interesting stuff!

I found this good technical overview of the mid-cabin doors on the 737

I've been able to go through the BA website to get the Sabre booking reference. Just try to change your seat and it prompts you.

QF612 MEL-BNE on 12 Jan 2005, and QF631 BNE-MEL on 19 Jan 2005.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Two domestic flights MEL-BNE in Jan 2005, I'd assume some 737 variant, but I think -300/-400/-800 were all in service at the time.

Aircraft type - I've been able to piece together some of it from old news articles etc, but it's patchy at best so far.

I've been completing my flight log and I'm trying to find the aircraft that was used on some old flights. Does anyone have thoughts on particular resources I should use? In particular, looking for Cathay / Singapore / Qantas data between 1995-2006.

These offers state they're for members "who reside in Australia or New Zealand". Does anyone know what has happened in the past for QFFs outside of A/NZ?

BA and VS did a symbolic parallel takeoff for the reopening of US borders the other day - are there any special procedures that the pilots / ATC needed to have in mind for this?

To add another anecdote - I've had luck as a WP guesting both my parents into the MEL F lounge by asking nicely air-side. Flying QF Y to New Zealand at the time.

I was originally booked on a 7am flight mid August... but got notification that it's been cancelled. Hopped online and I see no flights from MEL to SYD before 2pm on any day in the second week of August. Are they fully booked or has Qantas just cancelled all morning flights from MEL to SYD? If...

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll look into luggage storage at SYD (or just drag them with me, given I have to do it on the other side anyway...)

MEL-SYD (revenue) SYD-LAX (on AA, booked using QF points) The SYD-LAX leg is Monday morning - so I'm trying to work out whether I can fly in from MEL on Saturday/Sunday without having to drag my bags around. Thanks - looks like my ideal plan isn't possible!

I currently have a AA award ticket booked (using QF points), but need to book a separate QF flight to position for the start of that trip. My intention is to pay for a revenue QF flight and hope that the check-in agents are aware of QF's exception on interlining award/revenue mixed trips. How...

WP here. I was able to being a non-flying guest into the SYD J lounge last Sunday, but was explicitly told they were doing me a favour and not to expect it going forward.
