Let me explain todays flights… Now, pay attention, for I will only say this once! I was due to catch a 9:30AM flight to Melbourne arriving at about 11AM. When I checked in, the machine asked if I wanted to change to one of the earlier flights, giving a selection of three. So I chose a flight 30 minutes before the one I had planned, at 9:00. But when I was in the Qantas Club lounge we found that many flights were delayed leaving Melbourne due to Ice!<\/p>\n
So I was hearing lots of news about the 8AM flight boarding at about 9:15 whereas my flight was totally ignored, since it was later than that. But just after the official boarding time of 8:40 the PA says that it is now boarding, and eventually arrives at Melbourne about 10:35. I suspect that the 8AM flight would only just have left Sydney airport at that time – so it would appear that QANTAS schedules were totally screwed up. I caught a later flight and arrived earlier. Strange. <\/p>\n
The flight was totally full, with only one spare seat. I was in the 2nd last row, which was rare for me. I am normally much further forward. And I can assure you that I like being further forward too! Much quieter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
