Being a short flight, took rest. Captian came onboard to inform the descend. Being a new generation aircraft, handle-held device could be used. Landed in Sydney from the North. Sunny day outside.
Upon reaching the gate at the Qantas Terminal. Business class passengers disembarked first. followed by economy class.
Headed for baggage collection.
Baggage was out soon as not many passengers had check-in bags. Headed for the domestic railway station to catch train to International terminal as I had parked there. By this time, I had enough of flying and wanted to sleep.
Caught the train, paid the parking charges and drove home.
