Our flight VH-FVH DJ 1716 parked at Gate 3 at GLT yesterday
Short trip report
Yesterday along with a good friend i travelled to Gladstone from BNE.We flew up on Qantaslink Q400 VH-QOC and came back on new ATR72 VH-FVH .Both flights took approx 1 hour in journey time.
QF6300D departed RWY 19 at 0629 and was a full ship with not one spare seat.We climbed to 20,000 ft and the flight was smooth.We were seated at the rear of the engine and noise was not a issue.Light refreshments were served by the flight attendants abd this included yoghurt,museli bar and a raisin bun.Juice or tea and coffee was also complimentary.
We landed at Gladstone on RWY 28 at 0735.
Departure was with Virgin Australia DJ 1716 at 1400 to BNE.We departed the gate at 1353 and takeoff time was early at 1359 off RWY 10.I was seated in 14F a window seat and thank you David for doing that.A little bit of turbulence and some manouvering around the cumulus clouds just after takeoff and then a light refreshment was served.This was a tasty cheese and semidried tomato wrap with relish .Water or juice as well as tea or coffee were also complimentary.
We landed at 1501 on RWY 14 at Brisbane and a 7 minute taxi to the gate saw us arrive 12 minutes early.
The ATR i feel had the nicer cabin look than the Q400 however both aircraft were a privilege to try out for the first time.

Car Park opens today at BNE domestic
BNE opens largest single-structure car park in the southern hemisphere
16/01/2012
A $180 million nine storey, 5,000 space car park, the largest single-structure car park in the southern hemisphere, will open tomorrow at Brisbane Airport.
The new car park is part of a $250 million upgrade to the Domestic Terminal precinct. In addition to the car park, the upgrade will see new roads around the Domestic Terminal and an elevated skywalk from the car parks to the terminal. The upgrade of the Domestic Terminal precinct follows the opening of the $220 million Moreton Drive in 2009.
Stage 1, Levels 2-5 of the car park, will open at 7am on Tuesday 17 January 2012 (subject to weather and construction schedules). Remaining levels will open in coming weeks.
Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) Head of Corporate Relations, Rachel Crowley, said once complete, the Domestic Terminal precinct would add significant extra capacity on the roads and in the car parks, providing passengers with a more efficient and convenient experience.
“Tomorrow’s opening will be the very first stage of the upgrade and while there are still a few finishing touches to be completed we’re well on our way. We wanted to open this first stage as soon as possible to provide more parking capacity for everyone who uses the Domestic Terminal.
“Constructing a new car park and road network in the middle of an airport terminal which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week has been a complex process. We are grateful to our customers for their patience during this construction period and we’re sure they’ll be happy when they see the finished product later this year.”
Ms Crowley said the new short-term multi-level car park is part of Brisbane Airport’s commitment to provide the best possible facilities for its customers.
“When it’s finished this new car park will provide world-class park-finding technology which indicates available car spaces; extra lighting; undercover walkway access to the terminal; safety and security (CCTV cameras); parking for people with disabilities; 24-hour management; and express entry/exit ramps as well as online booking.”
The new multi-level car park coming on line will provide significant additional capacity for short-term, bringing the total number of parking spaces at the Domestic Terminal to 9,000.
“Thanks to the additional capacity we will have for short-term parking, we can now offer a number of new car parking products and long-term parking deals, which will provide customers with more choice and options tailored to their parking needs. These include online booking, PARKVALET and PARKPREMIUM.
“Furthermore, from 1 February any customers who book online will be able to park at the Domestic Terminal PARKLONG car park for the weekend for only $49. We will also soon be introducing a $99 for one week deal with online booking,” Ms Crowley said.

Next week i will try to check out the Aergo-Pelair-Rex flights and post some sort of schedule.
ALSO next week i am trying out the Q400 and ATR-72 and will try to post a trip report if possible.
