Introduction:
I wanted to try and get on a few more 767s before they are retired so when Qantas had a decent sale I booked a BNE-SYD-MEL-SYD-BNE trip. They also had a double FF points offer at the time which was good! All four flights were scheduled to be operated by Boeing 767s. As the flights neared there were a couple of changes. My BNE-SYD-BNE flights had been downgraded to Boeing 737-800s. But thankfully the SYD-MEL-SYD flights would still be 767s.
Brisbane Airport:
Same as my Cairns trip, because it was a couple months back I have forgotten some of the details. Departure time was 1025, but it ended up being pushed back about an hour due to the late arrival of the aircraft from MEL. I just had a walk around the terminal.
VH-VXQ would be my ride down to Sydney, new rego for me
