Sounds a great chance to visit the new BNE lounge and report back to AFF.

Good luck to all who can attend (I'll be in Washington DC that day).

I'll be there in early November so very pleased to hear the lounge will be up and running.

I wish I'd seen this thread earlier

I shall get thinking what I want to see in December when I travel through BNE to NRT!

Sounds like a great competition, busy with the folks down from interstate so won't be able to enter, but I have a few items I would like to see in the lounge..... maybe that can wait for the next red planet survey.

Message sent - helps that I work at the airport.....

I have now entered, I'm hoping my idea isn't too pie in the sky!

I think Qantas have already put a pie in the sky, both in J and in Y, and they've usually been rather delicious. :mrgreen:

I want ice cream. Maybe I'm just not looking properly but I can never find any. Would love a freezer with a couple of tubs of ice cream to make a sundae or cone from.

So non-australian residents include flights? Great, I'm in!

Seriously good to see the new international lounge in Brisbane.

Not if the ice-cream is in large containers. I can see a few possible health concerns here (and I think it would be harder to police than the usual buffet). Individual servings that are sealed would be OK. They had this in a lounge in Rome but unfortunately the fridge seemed to have defrosted a bit at one stage as the ice creams were all covered in refrozen ice droplets. From memory when we were there Alitalia was going bust again.

The Hilton Executive lounge in Surfers Paradise has this mini fridge with Connoisseur Ice Cream sticks in it, so delicious!

They used to have it in the Singapore lounge before the refurbishment. Similar to what you see in any ice cream shop - freezer with a lid opening up to a couple of metal tubs of the stuff. Not sure what the health concerns would be above the rest of the food??

The health issues with ice cream relate to the amount of time the ice cream has been in the refrigerator, constantly, thawing, refreezing, thawing .......

Especially if in winter, it might have been there for months! (I say this as someone who was once admitted to the emergency ward of a hospital after suffering acute food poisoning from contaminated ice cream consumed in an airport!!!)

Ice cream always available in the AKL F lounge. Mini tubs of kapiti. Had some today.

while I am no longer P1 and am unlikely to fly international out of Brisbane - my hope is the lounge offers some additional benefits for the highest status flyers. A secluded zone, reserved seating, table service, better food and grog could be options. I appreciate that with no F services and given it is a home port with little competition these are unlikely!

So, who will be in attendance representing AFF?
