Experiences flying domestic in Australia
-
Hi all.
Update on my return flight from Adelaide. Similar experience as my SYD – ADL flight earlier in the week. Presented with my short blonde wig, long sleeve white jumper, tailored black jacket, knee length black pencil skirt, black shiny tights and 4″ black chunky heeled ankle boots.
Electronic check in and bag drop obviously presented no problem. Security went well without having to take off my boots this time. As I approached the boarding gate the ground attendant said to me “you look very nice”. She then scanned my Frequent Flyer card , printed out the boarding pass, read the name and said “Have a lovely flight Ms St…..”.
Once seated in the emergency exit row window seat the senior flight attendant gave us the special evacuation briefing and asked each of us if we had any problems or questions to which I replied “no problem” (I would have been the only person on board that has actually operated the real over-wing exits anyway. As an aircraft engineer that’s how we often access the upper wing surface.)
The rest of the flight was pretty much as normal except for my two elderly (80s) male lawn bowlers sitting next to me who avoided all eye, and minimal verbal, contact for the entire flight.
So my lovelies, flying with Australia’s premier airline (The one with the big white rat on the fin.) dressed is not a problem and it gave me a very rewarding experience.
Looking forward to many more flights in the future.
Hugs,
Fay.
