Here I am again, bright and early at 6am on a Saturday morning and it is relatively quiet. But the staff are chirpy and eager to assist.

I find a nice spot watching the sun rise over the airport whilst enjoying my hearty breakfast – mango/banana smoothie, multigrain sourdough toast with baked beans, scrambled eggs, hashed browns, and the obligatory cappuccino. A great start before my 9 hour flight to Hong Kong flying Cathay (review coming up next).

It amazes me how much Qantas has improved over the past year or so in terms or its customer service and quality of product. It is a real pleasure being a Gold FF with Qantas.
