My Qantas flight was at leaving at 4.10pm and boarding was due at 3.50 so I made my way to the airport at 3pm. I went down to the gate area to do a little plane spotting before my flight.

We began boarding at 3.47pm and I took my seat which was 11A, although the flight was fairly full I had no one in the middle seat which is always a bonus. As I boarded I noticed the aircraft registration was VH-VXU (CN 33723) The doors were closed at 4.08pm and we pushed back at 4.10pm. We began taxiing at 4.13 and taxied out for a runway 16 departure.

After holding for two departures and one arrival we lined up began rolling and wheels up was 4.24pm. Heading south we passed over Essendon Airport (where the accident was on Tuesday) before banking to the right and heading north.

Our track took us over Keilor (where I stay) west of Wagga Wagga, from over the top of Tamworth we flew to Casino where we banked left and tracked west of the Gold Coast before banking left again and heading inland for Archerfield. Flying over my home we banked right and got established on the 01 ILS, passing abeam Brisbane city we landed in Brisbane at 6.18pm.

As Queensland doesn't have daylight savings we lost an hour so our arrival time was officially 5.18pm.
