Six am (local time) departure out of PER for MEL and had the choice of a hot meal or cold sandwiches. The hot meal option was a potato rosti with bacon and spinach (pictured) and it was fine, nothing special, a light breakfast. I believe cold sandwiches were something on Turkish bread. I noticed...

I was in the Premium Plaza Lounge in BNE on 6th July 2019. I arrived after 3.00pm and the lounge only had about 10 people in it. The airport itself was really quiet! Eventually the lounge was maybe half full. The drink service was good but the food was mediocre. Initially there were Arancini...
