Flying the World : Sydney - Brisbane

QF 513 Brisbane - Sydney
Morning Departure
Like the inbound flight from Sydney, reward travel usually means bad departure times. I flew out of Brisbane on this Sunday morning, at the end of the ANZAC long weekend. Luckily, the airport is not far from the city centre. It was a short, brisk walk to the train station from my hotel and soon I was on my way to the airport. I actually can't find my boarding pass or flight records anymore, but I believe the flight was QF 513, departing around 0900.

The flight was short, lasting an hour. Perhaps it was due to the long weekend, as the flight was full once again. I was a bit surprised that even a morning departure at the end of the holiday would still be so busy. Qantas' service wasn't particularly special. Not much to complain about, and nothing exceptional to praise either.
