QF 448 MEL-SYD Lv1645 Arr1810 Boeing 767-300ER VH-OGI “City of Port Augusta”

Due to the delay, I did not bother to go to the Qantas Club.  The windows in front of gate 12 provided a nice view of these two 767s heading to Sydney within the next hour. 

 

VH-OGI was parked at a strong position, so that was my only close up of the 767.

Boarding began at 4:23pm, and business class passengers were welcomed first.  I had a chance to take a few cabin pictures.

The flight was busy, but not full.  Push back began at 4:45pm and the plane took off from R/W34 at 4:54pm. 

Flying time was an hour and five minutes with a cruising attitude of 39,000feet.

Descent began at 5:28pm and we landed on R/W34L at 5:59pm, and parked at Gate 6 six minutes later. 

My priority tagged bag came out at 6:18pm.  I was impressed with the baggage deliverance time. 

 

Just a short conclusion, Qantas is actually quite a nice airline, and I am lucky enough to fly on two refreshed planes.  Boeing 767 Business class cabin is perhaps a bit disappointing but since they are used on primarily short flights, it is okay.  Boeing 737 business class cabin is actually quite impressive.
