Qantas BNE-SYD-BNE on 767s (Photos)

Introduction:

Local spotter Joel and I were planning another spotting trip down to Sydney. I noticed that the Sydney Darts Masters were on again in late August, which I was interested in going to so we booked the flights for over that weekend. We would fly down on Thursday the 28th in the morning and fly back on Sunday the 31st at midday. We would be flying Qantas both ways, and on Boeing 767s which I was really looking forward to!

Brisbane Airport:

Caught the train to the airport, and met up with Joel when I switched onto the airport train. We arrived just after 7am for the 8:25am flight. We checked our bags in and then headed down to security and up to gate 22 where our flight would be leaving from. This would be my first flight on a Qantas 767 since May 2011. I’ve only flown on them three times, VH-OGE twice and VH-OGP once. Both aircraft have since been retired so I was guaranteed a new rego. I’ve tried to fly on QF B763s since 2011, but Qantas always sub in B738s for me!!!

VH-OGO it is!




Boarding commenced at about 8am. I was very excited to be back on a Qantas 767!!
