I cant believe how quickly these monthly trips come around, I was back at the airport this morning for my flight down to Sydney but this mornings flight had a little bit of excitement to it. I was coming down on their Airbus A330-202 which was a really nice change to the Boeing 737-838 we always get.
As it is winter here in Australia and it gets dark around 5pm, I don't visit the airports in the afternoon while I'm away so I only carry my small Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ57 pocket camera with me. Boarding commenced at 6.08am and I took my seat which was 53A, boarding the aircraft I noticed the registration badge on the door and I was on VH-EBC (CN 0506), this is the first time I have been on EBC. The last cabin door was closed at 6.34am and we pushed back from gate 20 at 6.37am. As we pushed back I noticed Qantas's latest B787-9 VH-ZNE parked at gate 23. (I flew on this two weeks ago from Melbourne - Brisbane)
