Adelaide to Melbourne

Welcome to my 2nd trip report! I’ve decided this will be a series where I do a sort of “career mode” style but I’m the passenger. Anyway, onto this!

After landing from Nadi, I spent some adventurous days in Adelaide, visiting the beautiful Glenelg Beach, seeing Penguins in Victor Harbour and taking a tour to Barossa Valley! After all that, it was time to board my next flight, QF690 to @Cwaker land, aka Melbourne! Our journey today is operated by VH-VZK, a 2011 built 737-838. She has just passed the 14 year mark, and previously has served Jetconnect.

Flight details
Flight number: QF690
Flight duration: 00hrs 58mins

Seat: 3A (Business)

@Cwaker no one flies to the Sunshine and Gold Coast or Brisbane, and I feel that Amberley RAAF Base has been neglected too

Well… I do! I have a friend in Brisbane so I like to fly there, when it comes to flying military in Australia, I often choose to fly to either YMES, YAMB or YRIC
