    Doubt too many people will be in the Plaza Premium lounge for the PM flight, their hours are 0800-1200, or 0800-1300 depending on the day.

    The 717's I've been on out of ADL to BNE and SYD have always been a decent flight, the crew I've seen have always been pretty good; both up the front of the bus and down the back.
