Hi all,
Families internet slow, so limited TR for now:
QF9 Mel/DRW on 28th of Feb.
MEL international was spooky as quiet, turned up as recommended 4hrs before, doubt I needed to, no queue in either priority or economy lines. Check in staff were magnificent helping with me paperwork, accepted screenshots on phone for both Aussie vaccination cert and uk passenger form.
Duty free was shut other than first area, none of the specialist stores were open.
First Lounge was practically empty, food and service both great!
Flight up to DRW was pleasant enough, CC great as usual, food in J was OK.
DRW is a dump, J ‘lounge’ makes Hobart look luxurious, duty free was basically empty shelves.
Flight to London was as it was prenn no pandemic other than masks. Service was great, cabin crew friendly.
Heathrow was super smooth, no one checked any paperwork, just electronic gates for passport
