Headed home on QF24. VH-QPG was the aircraft, one I had flown on once before just over 5 years ago headed back from Auckland.
We annoyingly had that secondary liquid check that they say are mandatory on all flights back to Australia, although not done in New Zealand, Canada or the USA for some reason. At least unlike some airports, it was done before you entered the gate area as opposed to the aerobridge.
Settled into Seat 6A. I was going to go straight to bed so just ticked the breakfast card.
Here's the dinner menu in case it is of use to anyone.
Smooth takeoff and slept for about 6 hours. It was not all at once, woke up a couple of times including about 12am AWST when I took this snap. Not sure what those glows were, didn't look like towns - sure hope they weren't bushfires.
I was served breakfast by CSM Peter within 90 seconds of waking up. Another thanks to Peter for giving me 2 pairs of L pyjamas after being out of M and suggesting I could give them as Christmas presents.
And back home, landing 20 minutes early.
Hope you all enjoyed it. I'm not flying much for the next 2 months, but my next trip is to South Africa in February which will be half for work but will take some time to do a Safari and look around Cape Town.
Thanks to all who read.
