Flight Diary: Qantas Airbus A330 Business Class (Sydney to Perth)

The direct flights from Melbourne to Perth were pretty expensive back in June 2022. We played around a with different flight times and stop-over combinations to either find a flight on points or a flight at a cheaper price.

Lounge Review: Inside Qantas Domestic Business Lounge, Perth

I will probably start to share more of these type of posts now that the travelling has opened up more. This is by no means a comprehensive lounge review as there are plenty of travel hack and lounge blogs out there whose primary purpose is on that topic. My approach like most of my reviews are based around my thoughts, experiences and sharing my photography along the way.
