The months seem to fly by very quickly as it only seems like yesterday I was heading off to Sydney. My flight today was at 6.30 am so I headed to the airport arriving there around 5.30 am.
I went through security, and as always, I got swabbed for explosives. Clearing security I headed to the Qantas Club for breakfast, having my usual bircher muesli and a glass of orange juice.
I then started making my way to gate 22, stopping along the way for a few quick early morning photos.

We began boarding our Boeing 737-838 at 6.06 am and I took my seat which was 9F. The aircraft today was VH-VXP (CN 33722) and this is the first time I have been on this aircraft since logging my flights over two years ago. I had a very large lady sitting next to me in the middle seat and although she was really nice and apologised for squashing me, I had a very uncomfortable flight down as far as seating goes. My back was hurting by the time we landed.
The cabin doors were closed at 6.26 and we pushed back at 6.27 am. We taxied out for runway 19 at 6.31 and we lined up on runway 19 pretty much straight away.

Due to the previous Jetstar A320 departing before us, we sat on the runway for around 2 minutes.
