QANTAS A380 QF12 Economy Class - Los Angeles to Sydney, Qantas First Lounge LAX (Jan 2024) (4K)

Описание: After 2 & 1/2 weeks in Austria, Estonia & Finland it was time to go home, so after a brief pitstop in Los Angeles to thaw out a little from weeks of below zero temperatures, QF12 was my ride home.

Check-In at LAX was quick and simple, however security was much slower than normal, maybe they were all suffering a week long hangover after New Years Eve...

Once through, security, it was a sharp left turn, up to level 5 and directly across to the right is the Qantas First Lounge.

This is a great lounge, however it doesn't have the views like Sydney does.

Table service dining is always fast, and the food delicious, The usual Salt & Pepper Squid was ordered, followed by a Classic Beef Cheeseburger & Chips (Fries). The Ice Cream Sundae with Chocolate Pretzels was a good way to close out that mini feast (keeping in mind there were more meals to come on the flight).

Boarding from Gate 152, and departure were on time, and my strategy of sitting in 88G paid off yet again, the 3 other seats in the row empty.

As usual, the Customer Service Supervisor (CSS) came around and introduced himself (Platinum perk), we had a brief chat and he took note of my meal preferences, and offered a drink prior to the drink service commencing.

The 2 crew stationed at the 2 rear doors (M5-L & M5-R) introduced themselves early in the piece. Both (and all other crew) were brilliant for the entire flight (this is why I fly Qantas).

The Chicken Noodle Salad (Cold) is amazing, highly recommended. Followed by an ice cream sandwich, then Hot Chocolate.

Then time to sleep.

Aside from waking for the mid-flight snack, or a Ham & Cheese Toastie (or 2) I managed to get approx 9hrs sleep.

Breakfast was the scrambled eggs, and once cleared some time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise views from both exit door windows.

Arrival into Sydney was 10 minutes early (it would have been 25-30 minutes but ATC put the flight into a holding pattern off the coast).

This flight was more reminiscent of the Qantas of old... Flight was great, Food good, and service was impeccable.
