Graeme is consistently a Qantas star employee at Wellington. Always cheery, gives every departing traveler personal best wishes leaving the lounge and at the gate.
WLG & CHC immigration/security services are often an annoyance, not open continuously and if you arrive early have to join a lengthy queue waiting for the staff shift to open up.
Once through, the lounges are excellent. Also at Queenstown. Manaia do a great job.

I have flown business class a few times recently and being a reward flight ended up in Row 3
Each time there was a run on a specific meal type and I ended up with the unpopular meal choice(s)
On one occasion the steward offered me her meal.
You'd think in this day and age that it would be pretty clear what meals were statisticly popular and stock them accordingly.

You’d think!

I just have to take my chances and try and move up as soon as they throw seating open 80 hours before departure… anything but row 3!

Agree with the comments re Graeme. Pre covid he was an excellent QF FA as well so we are glad that he was kept on in this current position
