That first "ding" after takeoff is supposedly to tell the Flight Crew it is 5 minutes until drinks time. lol I did not know that. The earlier the better. Ding!

[@obsidianwing]

The people are so quiet and respectful and i love this self service Snack and Drink Bar its way easier I think

[@sittinginthebleachers6674]

Super busy so late at night. We have a departure time of 10.00 p.m on July 24 2024, so i guess we look forward to the same as you've experienced. Thanks for sharing!

Nice vid! LAX traffic is a nightmare not for the faint of heart 😅 Next time if that happens just keep going to your terminal’s arrivals and take the elevator up, at least this is the case with TBIT. Happy flying ✈️✈️

[@vuho2075]

Next time try the Park N Fly program @ Embassy Suites LAX. Leave your car & take the hotel shuttle to the airport

I flew on Qantas too a week before yours (5 May 2023), from Brisbane to Singapore. It was great and I booked the vegetarian meals. It was ok. Other wife and son took the regular (non-vegetarian) meals which was better 😅.

[@TonyTheYouTuba]

Wait what was that thing about the TSA saying you can’t congregate in groups on the aircraft? Never heard that before!

[@jeffyam36]

點解唔影埋幾點同邊個閘口上機？🤔

[@jkhwaja197]

Was the flight full 100% occupied or half empty?

[@damoricho]

Kiwis are our brothers across the ditch

[@aus-reviews8462]

man those economy tv's are overdue for an upgrade

[@foobarmaximus3506]

People sure get spoiled in a hurry, don't they? That's just ridiculous.

[@beverleyferguson8942]

Don’t you just hate wooden cutlery? Hopefully Qantas isn’t using it in 2024!

[@ErcumentGursoy]

I think screens are very small for watching sth.

[@Mattplanespotter]

Would have been great to see the non vegetarian meals

[@MarioBekes]

I am glad you had all those seats for yourself because Qantas economy is the worst ever !!

[@foobarmaximus3506]

We'll never know now, since he didn't bother to show us.

[@calbertstudios1983]

Since when is it easy to confuse nz with aussie?. It rllyy isnt

[@boynamedstefan]

you’d be surprised.. it’s like asking an australian where puerto rico is on a map 😂😂
