Jq802 BNE to ROK
Boarding began on time but there was a bit of a scrum at first, nothing an ex rugby lad like me could not handle though.
The TV cameras caught the moment for posterity.....maybe me and Ray will be sharing space on Channel nine tonight. (Again...)
As we went through boarding we were given a lovely hat by a F/a. The bloody thing is white with "JET*" on the front.
(How does Dave Noble get his star?)
I was boarded in first 20 passengers as my sequence number was 15, ie I was number 15 to check in.
Of course I was stuck behind mr and mrs slow...Mr commented that it was there first time on a plane....
Got seat 16 f exit row on the right side, 2 x 3 seating
Only 5 passengers were seated in the the two exit rows, with passengers scattered over the length of the plane, Interestingly, noone sat in the first two rows.
We took off 7 mins late and had the obligatory shower under the fire trucks as we taxied out.
The F/a's were selling breakfast, but could not work the palm pilot style device for credit card payments, so each person who offered a C/C got their breakie for nothing. Keep this in mind if you are flying in the next day or so.
The rest of the flight was uneventful, as I had my trusty Ipod, Ben Elton book and no neighbour.

There you go. I was on a virgin flight of J*.

Cheers
