Into the Gate next to Air China
De boarded the plane we were going to ask to go into the cockpit but because Josh wasn’t in Sydney very long we gave it a miss so he could have more time at the observation deck
Air China at the gate, was the first time I have seen Air China
Didn’t know VH-OEG had the new livery
Went straight to customs, no problems there, then up to Quarantine and Boarder Protection, the line was huge, luckily there was someone calling for domestic passengers. We had our boarding passes checked by a guy at quarantine; he said that was fine and we can go straight through. Unfortunately he walked off with our boarding passes! We both wanted to keep our boarding passes. Oh well, I still had my original online boarding pass so it was ok.
So after all of that we went straight up to two ladies who work at the terminal and asked where the observation deck is. They gave us directions and we found it easily. Caught the lift up to the observation deck and enjoyed 3 hours of Plane spotting.
