Introduction:
Well with Qantas making changes to the DFW route from the end of September, I had to fly on QF8 from BNE-SYD one last time! From September 29, Qantas switched from using Boeing 747-400ER’s to Airbus A380s to DFW, enabling the airline to operate the return leg non-stop to SYD. This unfortunately means for us BNE spotters that the tech stop is no longer required. I booked the flight a month or so out and also used my points to upgrade to business class. I just selected the cheapest flight back in for that evening which was on Tigerair. Brisbane Airport: Dad dropped me off at the international terminal at 5am. Check in was quick and easy. I then met up with Daniel K. from Melbourne who was also on QF8 this morning. We both passed through security and customs before heading up to the Qantas club. ![]() ![]() After grabbing some breakfast and relaxing in the lounge we went down to the boarding gate.

Boarding commenced just after 6am.
