Finishing the ferry

My super Qantas and Boeing adventure is now done, and I am back in Melbourne after finishing a second day hopping across the Pacific.

Here are a few photos I snapped today as Tamworth the 737-800 cruised home to Australia, starting in Hawaii and finishing in Fiji where we stopped to refuel before the last six-hour leg to Sydney.

Not a bad way to travel, and I now know what it feels like to have a private jet to travel around the globe.

It was especially lovely this morning.

The crew left the hotel at 7am, we departed at 7.30am, and as soon as we walked on the plane the flight attendents closed the door, the pilots started the engines, and a tug pushed us away from the gate to start the seven-hour leg to Fiji.
