Sydney to Gold Coast: QANTAS QFA596 in the B737-800

Decided to do a quick flight between Sydney and one of Australia’s popular touristic destinations, Gold Coast. I originally had planned to record a non-timelapsed flight between Sydney and Perth, but it was late, and I would have had to stay awake till like 5am, so I went for this short route.

Parked at QANTAS’s domestic terminal at Sydney.

Pushedback from the gate, engines on and flaps extended.

Taxiing to runway 34R, it took me like 10 minutes to reach the threshold.

Takeoff:

Cruising at FL260.

Ready for landing.

And touchdown!

Speedbrakes up and flaps down.

Parked at Gold Coast’s Gate 9.
