For this flight I decided to put the Q Bag tag to the test and checked my camera bag in, was quite easy. Very quickly made our way through security to find TJH at our gate managing to score ourselves exit rows upon request at the service desk.
Boarding was a few minutes early and I took up my assigned seat in 12C. Just before departure I was asked to move to 12D so there was two people in each exit row. Push back was close to time and we were taxiing in no time on our way to runway 16L. A powerful takeoff ensued with a quick climb.
At the top of the climb the cabin crew served Caramelized Onion Crackers with antipasto dip which was delicious! Decent commenced and we were soon touching down on runway 35 in Canberra disembarking the aircraft via the stairs at gate 14.

Conclusion
It was disappointing not to get a 767 so I will have to take that the opportunity another time. It was a shame Jetstar was late but that can't be helped. The ground crew spoiled the experience with their lack of communication spoiled it as the on board product was really good, I would have no hesitation in doing long haul with them.
The 737-400, well it's certainly getting on in age and the interior really shows this, the sooner they retire the better!
