The "plan"..........

Code:

Flt No      Sector     Dep     Arr

QF2205      SYD-ABX    0825    0945
QF2206      ABX-SYD    1005    1125
QF2209      SYD-ABX    1200    1320
QF2210      ABX-SYD    1340    1500
QF2213      SYD-ABX    1515    1635
QF2214      ABX-SYD    1700    1820

......and to book all of them, check in online for all the day before, and fly without any checked baggage.

This should work if turnarounds are allowed and a quick turnaround at ABX is possible. Since I'm "checked-in" (i.e. via OLCI and have BP in hand), the normal boarding restrictions (e.g. the 30 minute/15 minute rules) don't really apply to me (except I have to get on board before the gate closes, of course!).

The gaps between flights (i.e. time for my "turnaround") vary from 15 minutes to 35 minutes; the typical gap is 20 minutes. I don't see any problem in that....unless I have to change aircraft. If everything is on-time, no problems, but if they are not....... I was about to book until I suddenly stopped to think that perhaps the SYD-ABX sector flights may not be served by the exact same aircraft the entire day long........

Can anyone share their experiences, expertise or two cents on this?
