OQB was parked at the Sydney International terminal, and the person in front of me at international business checkin was going on the flight.

According to the website,

On our New Year’s Eve Midnight Sun Party Flight passengers will be the first to see the sun in 2010– it is daylight at 12.01am as we sing ‘Auld Lang Syne’ over the ice and dance in the aisles to a live jazz band

Slight correction.. It was at the freight terminal.

Looke like QF2913 VH-OQB is going to be a little later than expected, it is just climbing out of Melbourne now (0925 EDST). The Sydney board is still showing 1010 so it will not make that estimate.
