That's what I thought. It is just a bit annoying to arrive at the gate a find you are at the back of a line of 300+ pax! Now that I know the score I can hang back for a bit longer in the lounge before making my way to the gate.

Yesterdays flight to CNS on the 747-200 was completley full. I'm not sure what the total seats are on this 2 class service but it seemed a lot!

As an aside - is "lunch" on this route normally just 3 slices of cold beef and some cheese and crackers or was there a limited catering service given it was New Years Day? No compalints about the wine though. A very nice Margaret River Chardonnay. It help clear my rather big hangover.
