back in December 1976, I flew a QF 747-200 in F class from MEL-SYD, and the bar upstairs was open etc, only me up there for a few drinks, the plane then went onto to LHR via SIN etc
those days only int'l passengers could fly domestic QF, except staff as my neighbor who was QF pilot who was also in MEL for the same wedding
had bought a MEL-DPS Y class ticket, and had upgraded to F on the MEL-SYD sector for a few dollars, then flew in Feb 1977 SYD-DPS on a QF 707, and the overland to London by bus, boat, train & truck, (only flight was BKK-RGN-CCU as Burma land borders were not open)
