Qantas' Summer Sounds…

After taking more than 55 flights so far this year, we’ve become pretty savvy travelers and one of our key absolute must-haves on any flight is our headphones and of course music. But of course, after about flight 38 you start to get maybe just a little bored with your iPod’s selections.

Luckily, on a good airline you have lots of choice. Personally, I prefer a playlist rather than listening to an album and from our experience this year, Qantas has some of the best entertainment available. One particular playlist that popped up on my last few flights really stood out this month. After a little research I found that the Q Radio selection each month was something that some lucky soul (best job in the world) at Qantas put together each month.

I tweeted Qantas to find the playlist and, although it wasn’t readily available anywhere for me to get a list of the songs, the fantastic people in their social media team did a little investigative work and emailed me a few days later to tell me they’d found it, attached a text document and well wishes and voilà I had my playlist.

Now, it’s no secret that we’re big fans of Spotify at WAH, and thus our fave Qantas playlist was an instant hit at HQ. Now, we’re so happy to share it with you guys, perfect for a summer Sunday afternoon.

A little summer ditty

Sunlight through apple trees

I’m going to play a song for you, but first I want you to picture this. You’re at a garden party in someone’s backyard on a Sunday afternoon. It’s late summer. The men are in light linen suits, and their jackets have been abandoned over the backs of wooden chairs that sit in groups, unoccupied around the yard. The women are barefoot, wearing floral dresses, their shoes tossed aside. The sun is mellowing and the light coming through the trees has a pink tinge. The grass is a bit long, and a little breeze makes it sway and tickle people’s ankles. Everyone has had too much champagne. Under an apple tree, a woman and a man are slow dancing, cheeks pink.

OK now listen. It’s “Don’t Make Me Hold Your Hand” by Lake Street Dive. You’re going to love it.
