Hey, if the steak is rank, just dump on some A1 and sell the sizzle...
I liked how they split out elites/F/C and boarded through 2 jetways on my last SYD-SFO flight in Y. They had a checker looking at BP's and moving people into the appropriate holding pen. We flew in F the most recent trip and got escorted so I don't recall how boarding was handled otherwise. Do they still do that in SYD?
