First time in trans-Tasman F

[ajd]

Heading to NZ later this year, decided I'd go via CHC and blow some QF points on EK A380 F.

I have never travelled in F before, indeed, until this year I hadn't tried international J, and the highest status I've had is PS...

Any tips and tricks for a first time F flyer?

Make sure the crew know you are a first time F flyer

If you are travelling out of SYD, allow enough time to enjoy the (QF) F lounge. 3-4 hours should do it.

Oh, apparently the plane has a shower!

I am travelling out of SYD, alas the daily SYD-CHC service is the only EK trans-Tasman service left and it departs at 0845 - I'm going to try and be there as early as I can but I have limits

Are you returning in F? That will be the better flight but not lounge experience. We did the Syd Alk return when it was running. Breakfast in the Syd F lounge, no amenities kits for the short flight & no shower going over but the alcohol is good & you can get back to the J bar for the experience. The return flight in the late afternoon was a good meal & offered a shower where you get an amenities kit but no PJs. You've got to have the shower.

Sadly not, I'm returning in Y on SQ from WLG... Having never seen the SYD Flounge I am looking forward to that though!

Enjoy a nice breakfast in the SYD Flounge and then once onboard sample some Dom Perignon For the return trip I would take a sleeping pill because you will be beside yourself after having flown F Enjoy and make sure you report back on your experience.
