My Qantas flight wasn't until 7am but I got to the airport at 5.45am so I could get the early morning Emirates.

After Emirates landed I went into the airport and after clearing security I went straight to gate 24 where my aircraft VH-VYG (CN 33995) was waiting. We began boarding at 6.41am and I took my seat in 8A. The doors where closed right on 7am and we pushed back at 7.04am. We taxied at 7.09 and taxied out for the full length of runway 19. After waiting for two arrivals we lined up and got airborne at 7.19. We did the normal left and right banks then set course for Sydney, climbing to 380. Our track took us over Beaudesert and Armidale and the flight was really smooth. We began our descent at 8.05am and after tracking down the coast line we landed from the south on runway 34R at 8.40, but of course due to daylight savings we had to add an hour so my arrival time was 9.40am.
Sitting on the left hand side of the aircraft I was able to capture a few aircraft as we taxied in

After the meeting finished I had just over an hour of spotting time as I wasn't leaving until 1.00pm.
The below photos were taken through thick glass and some didn't turn out as perfect as I hoped.

Well the time had come for me to head home on my final flight for this year, so I headed down to gate 12 where I found, even though it was only 12.40pm, they had already boarded and there were only a few stragglers like me coming in. The aircraft for this sector was VH-VYB (CN 33763) and I was in 11A.
The doors closed at 12.57 and we pushed back at 1.02pm, we taxied at 1.05pm and taxied out for the furthest point possible from the terminal. We lined up on runway 34R and we got airborne at 1.19. After flying over the city we banked left and travelled up the coastline to Newcastle; from there it was direct to Coolangatta, climbing to 370. We began our descent at 2.02pm and landed in Brisbane from the north on runway 19 at 2.31pm. We had to adjust the time as we loose an hour making our arrival time 1.31pm
