CAIRNS to BRISBANE (CNS-BNE) on Qantas 737-800 in economy class

Another day another early start. This flight departs Cairns so early that I intended staying up all night. However about 3am I succumbed to the tiredness and was woken 30 minutes later by the alarm.

Check in was quick despite being very busy at this hour, and I got both boarding passes. I was selected for explosives check at security, but no pat down this time (a change to procedure?). I had a few minutes in the lounge before boarding was called. I was last to board because I'd been trying to finish typing an email.

The load wasn't too high so I had an empty middle seat. Breakfast was a sugary cereal, a huge carton of full cream milk, some apple slices, a bun, juice, tea and coffee.

IFE was Top Gear to start with and then I fell alseep not waking up until we landed
