How is the lounge?

Will be able to let you know once we’re at the airport. Only know about the delay as I got the in-app notification.

Ran into my neighbours parents in the security queue. Lounge is busy but not packed.

It was pretty grey and rainy when we left at lunchtime.

Brisbane does look to be a bit wet Wellington is trying hard to be wet and windy.

Thanks Jeff for the trip up the mountain and then dropped at the airport.

Graham had the day off and were scanned into the lounge by a younger guy who said that there is a change in the lounge contract coming up, he was staying with Qantas but was going to look after check in and then likely be at the gate.

View from 4A at gate 49 ...

Thanks Jessica and Kate for arranging another fun weekend.

Time to head home and prepare for another journey.

My current logged air travel is 2,998,600 miles. This flight is 1,611 miles WLG to MEL.

A milestone I'd never considered.

Well, QF164 has been officially delayed

Announcement just now in the Lounge that the aforementioned in-app notification was a technical glitch with QF’s IT systems and QF164 is expected to depart on schedule.

Who’d have imagined Qantas ever having an IT issue?

Going by Ian's proactive service, Greame has taught them well.
