Jetstar
JQ566
MEL-BNE
VH-VGZ A320
Seat 08A
In Seat 8A
Lined up on RWY27
Climbing out of MEL
Passing Calder Park, looks pretty dry down there
Again, no photo till we were under the clouds as I was facing the sun again. Bought a chicken wrap again, definitely prefer the ones on Jetstar
The same type as Tiger sell on their flights. Climbed up to 39 000ft.
Starting our descent
Over Brisbane’s Southside
Right turn
On finals for RWY01 passing the city
Short finals passing the international terminal
Reverse thrust
VGZ will soon be back off to MEL
And that was the end of my second Melbourne daytrip!
Conclusion
Awesome trip, Air Australia and Jetstar were both great and I will definitely fly with them again. Seats were comfortable on both airlines and leg room was good. Spotting in Melbourne was great, a lot of airlines BNE doesn’t see.
Next daytrip for me is in March to Rockhampton and Mackay
, will be flying on QF2352 from BNE-ROK on an Alliance Fokker 100, then QF2308 from ROK-MKY on a Dash 8-300 and then QF2517 MKY-BNE on a Dash 8-Q400, three new aircraft types for me!
Thanks for reading!
