Morning Departure
Like the inbound flight from Sydney, reward travel usually means bad departure times. I flew out of Brisbane on this Sunday morning, at the end of the ANZAC long weekend. Luckily, the airport is not far from the city centre. It was a short, brisk walk to the train station from my hotel and soon I was on my way to the airport. I actually can't find my boarding pass or flight records anymore, but I believe the flight was QF 513, departing around 0900.

Turning 180 Degrees
We soon turned around and the airport became visible.

Descent into Sydney
It was a nice day in Sydney as well, and my right side seat provided some great views as we descended.

Sydney Aerial
Unlike my previous flight into Sydney, this time we entered the city from the east side instead of the west in order to land from the south.

Service Summary
The flight was short, lasting an hour. Perhaps it was due to the long weekend, as the flight was full once again. I was a bit surprised that even a morning departure at the end of the holiday would still be so busy. Qantas' service wasn't particularly special. Not much to complain about, and nothing exceptional to praise either.
