Introduction

This trip report is of flight in 2010. I was travelling to Singapore.Had many options to fly direct from Sydney after searching found Qantas cheapest due to arrival time and fare.

Routing was Sydney - Brisbane - Singapore.

Check-In

Took a taxi to airport and arrived at the Qantas Terminal 3. First leg of the trip was on domestic sector. Qantas has self-check kiosk, couldn't use it as I had to check my bag all the way to Singapore.

Conclusion

Qantas was the best offer for the time and fare I was looking for. Being a short flight, was provided with snacks and coffee. Sydney airport was quick as no many passengers were checking in bags through the counter. Being a domestic flight, exit was quick walk out of aircraft to transfer bus outside the terminal. Overall a satisfactory flight.
