As a relatively frequent flyer, one of the best services that Qantas provides is the ability to check yourself in to your flight, then, if you have luggage drop it off without much hassle. Today when arriving at the Airport for my flight to Sydney I noticed that the QuickCheck queue seems to be a little bit longer than usual (i.e. there was a queue).

I went to one of the kiosks and got my boarding pass and took my place at the back of the line. It took about ten minutes to get to the head of the queue and drop my bag off. I can’t figure out why it was taking so long other than there was only one person doing the back drop (for cattle class).

Sigh – I am going to have to get myself a Qantas Club membership . . .

Update: Just a quick mid-flight update. Air traffic delays coming into Sydney, apparently only one of the runways into Sydney is operational.
