TRIP REPORT: YSSY/PHNL return
Hey all.
Well here it goes. Arrived at sydney airport at around 2:30pm went up to the observation deck to see the CPA 7478F depart, damn it was quiet on TOGA it was almost as quite as a 7474 on idle. Depart date: 6th December Arrival date: 6th December airline: Jetstar flight no: JQ3 aircraft: A330-200 VH-EBQ seat: 50B gate: T1 gate 8 scheduled departure: 6.00pm actual: 6:03pm scheduled arrival: 6:45am actual: 6:20am After spending 15 mins at the observation deck we checked in and went through security and customs. I had maccas for a late lunch in the duty free area. All I could think about was spending 9.5 hours on a jetstar flight. At about 5:30 we went over to gate 8 to board. The seats filled seemed to be around 90%. After a short taxi to 16R we were number 1 for departure after about 2 mins we were on our way. For jetstar the legroom was pretty good. As I was conserving my camera battery so I didn't take many photos on the plane. The flight wasn't to bad, the aircraft was fitted with JQ's new IFE which had about 7 hours of movies. We had a constant tailwind so the flight was 25 mins early . |

spotting
After landing and taxing to the gate you could tell PHNL was an airport with lots of good stuff. As I predicted there was an Asia Pacific airlines 7272F winglets and also an AN-124. Here some pics from one of the high car parks.
Here's the best I could do with the AN-124 so many obstructions. Also saw N623RH- ex RAAF 707 there and she seemed to not have moved for the whole 10 days. plenty of kallitta air classics up there. Last edited by Brad Varney; 19th December 2011 at 06:33 PM. |
