What was the airline? I'm loosing more respect for Qantas every day. It is certainly not the National Carrier. How could they charge more for economy than another airline charge for business class on same flight? I saw current check in was 90 min for Brisbane Airport. Not a good time to be flying. Was a luxury to cruise on 4/12 from Brisbane Cruise Port with my daughters dropping me off. One daughter dropped my luggage off and I had personal service checking in all the way downstairs, with no queues (joy of last check in period), then lift upstairs for final check in. Impressive start to a cruise.
Have a wonderful time catching up with your Kiwi family, Julie and a great cruise. Looking forward to your comments on Westerdam.
