Flight review: Qantas 747 jumbo domestic service Sydney-Perth (http://www.smh.com.au/travel/traveller-tips/flight-review-qantas-747-jumbo-domestic-20110608-1fslz.html)
Wow, quality reporting
Sky Report's only black mark was our flight attendant's (albeit gentle) mocking when we put in our coffee order as "a long black".
"A long black. Would you like a twist with that?" he quipped with a friendly smile.
It took us a while to puzzle it out.
Then this,
As always with travel to the west, it was an exceptional experience. The usual blue blazers and loafers in business class were given over to hoodies and baseball caps as miners made their way from home to their lucrative boom-town jobs.:{
By now I have destroyed two of my computer monitors, shorting them out with my morning coffee contents. :\
But wait, there's more.....
A flash mob was dancing to the Village People's Go West in the departures hall. The chief executive of Qantas, Alan Joyce, shook hands with passengers as they boarded.
Got me thinking, was he standing on a stool? :uhoh:

This might be a largely international configuration. But there are still some things you can't get when you're not leaving Australian airspace.
My congratulations to everyone for getting this 744 configured in time for the special occasion! :D
