Red-Eye Flight
Here comes another overnight flight. Unfortunately, Qantas doesn't have lie-flat beds in Business Class so I probably wouldn't get much sleep, although the layout is back to the normal front-facing style so I can enjoy the full window view. Let's see how they differ from Cathay's new Business Class.Check-in was smooth as it seems I was the last one to do so.

Lounge Visit
The Business Class lounge was upstairs and had a lot of computers with internet access!
Early Boarding
The gates were open for boarding an hour prior to departure. I wondered why they were ready so early. I actually arrived at the airport almost exactly 1 hour prior to departure. No wonder they were trying to rush me through and told me to go through immigration immediately as boarding would commence.There was a huge line at the gate, and soon I realized why. All passengers had to go through a second check for liquids at the airbridge. At first I didn't notice them but soon after I went through the Business Class priority line to show my boarding pass, we were all grouped into 2 lines and had to wait for our turn. There was no expedition channel for us at all.

Meal Service
I was very surprised that they offered traditional Chinese soup. They actually served it out of a thermos, and it wasn't just soup. The meat and vegetables were in there as well.

Soon we'll head below the clouds and descend into Sydney ... on a cloudy day.
