Beautiful colour palette and finish.Hope some of it rubs off on The Ghan / Indian Pacific the next time they refurb.

On meal times, I have seen squid on NZ AKL regular lounge. Hopefully QF will match it with their salt pepper squid.

Trouble with any 737, the windows are too low when I'm seated.This is the main reason why the 737 feels much smaller to me than the A320 family regardless of the actual dimensions.

I'm not going anywhere until the First lounge opens.

By the time this happens, the cases in both AU and NZ would be so low (or non existent), that traveling to NZ or AU would be no more or no less risky than AU inter state travel.So, I don't understand the necessity for any special medical certificate nor any really intrusive covid-19 test.
