PER - SYD (QF642)
Qantas, A330-300 [VH-QPG]
Seat 54A
So after spending a few hrs and sleeping in Belmont it was time to go home.
We arrived at the Airport looked at our Gate which was Gate 3 great looked at Arrivals our plane was 5 mins early and we watched her land.
And then saw this for the next 30 mins...
the aircraft that was in our bay landed late resulting in a later boarding time, which caused the arriving flight from Sydney to hold for 30 mins while the other Qantas boarded, after all of that we finally boarded, the pilot told us we would make up time as the flight would be a 3hr and 45 minute flight compared to the 4 hr 10 minute projected flight.
While we waited for the rest of the passengers to get on VH-EBK parked next to us.
A very long taxi to RWY 3 and line up completed we waited to be cleared for take off.
We were cleared and we were in the air
Cya Western Aus and we also were going to say good bye to the blue skies and sun
A Few clouds over the land which wasn't too bad
Until we got higher...
This was the view for the whole flight blue sky on top cloud underneath if you didn't have sun glasses you needed to close your blind the glare was too bright for our eye's to handle.
As we start our decent into Sydney we went into the cloud and got an even better view!
Clouds and more clouds
A bit of a vortices coming off the winglet as we turn over the sea
