Qatar Airways Returns to Brisbane

Last night, my family and I went to the airport to witness the long-awaited return of Qatar Airways flight QR898 as it touched down in Brisbane. The last revenue flight for Qatar had been on the 27th of February, so it was great to see this airline return, albeit only four days a week at the time being.

The usual aircraft is a Boeing 777-3DZ, but for the next month, it will be replaced with an Airbus A350-100. This is the first time Qatar have brought in the A350-100.

When we arrived, the weather was nice, but as afternoon turned into night, the skies darkened and it rained on and off.
