have done this route a number of times, no drama on the way over. The way back is another story. The first time our flight back to Adelaide left perth at 10.30am so I was falling asleep in the qantas club waiting for the flight. The second time we got the 6.30am flight to adelaide. We nearly missed the flight coz the transfer bus driver was in no hurry to move us from international to the domestic air terminal. So then we ran to the gate, got on the plane and then the plane sat on the tarmac for 2 hours before we left. There was a discrepency in the amount of fuel that had been loaded so they needed to off load the fuel and start again. I dont mind that, I would rather make sure there was enough fuel in the plane rather than run out in the air. The next time we got a hotel room and stayed for the day, flew to adelaide in the late afternoon, so we got some sleep and freshened up a bit.
