The complimentary airport shuttle provided by our hotel dropped us off at the central drop-off/pick-up area for Melbourne (Tullamarine) International Airport. From there it was short walk to Terminal 4 where domestic Jetstar flights operate.
We took the first jetway and entered the plane through L1. As we approached our assigned seats I realized we had the crew rest seats. These seats had a curtain behind the window seat and a track for the curtain attached to the overhead luggage compartment.

The agents did do a fine job of finding those passengers requiring assistance and shuttling them into the waiting area right before the jetway. Soon enough, we were in line for boarding and it commenced on time.

Upon presentation of our boarding passes we turned left, walked through the Economy Comfort zone (it has extra leg room vs. Economy) and entered the front portion of the plane. Oh happy day!
