Wed 27th is a a clear day for me - just need to organise a client or two to see in MEL on the day, with a late enough finish that I can't fly home. Colour me Silver, with a tinge of Gold

Then you also need the photo with Rueben Alvarez at the QF LAX F Lounge, @Larko1 (he's the Nestor there!)

My flying with VA has been a significant part of my travel since I first joined in the second wave of status transfers from QF in 2013. Never been below Gold and been comfortably Platinum with Family Pooling from wife and 2 kids. We have one family trip left (January 2025) with all of us booked...

I used in last weekend with my wife and still think it’s great value

Not trying for QF LTP - a bridge too far. LTG is the only goal I have with QF. The VA J sale fares at the moment will help to push me past Plat renewal numbers by 28/02/25 (along with family pooling on upcoming Japan trip). Yes, just trying to use DSC to get those last 130 SC’s - have got 12...

Asked for my lifetime SC earn (since 1 Feb 2013) via Chat this morning and got response within 4 hours. "Your Status Credits earned from 01 February 2013 up to today's date is at 6,929" Didn't get the split up of Partner earn (as don't think I have flown any of their partner airlines - all our...

Love it when a double yolker starts. Registered and now to consider upcoming CBR and ADL trips (versus VA J fares)

May be limited on how many per ATC & Airport Runway tour and the number of tours allowed (hoping multiple) on the day - but don’t know exactly until doing the research

Why don’t you get the Airtrain back to Toowong @JohnK? Yes it’ll be harder to get access if at Andrews or the outdoor parking. Or get rideshare to Clayfield station and then train from there?

As a taster, considering a day at RAAF Amberley on the Saturday, with Sunday being tours of ATC & Runway with the end at either QC or VA Lounge

So after AFF #17 on the weekend, we (the Moderation, Admin & Editor teams) will consider how best to incorporate the BNE Airport Tour into a future function (weekend). Watch this space...

Nothing like thread drift. The Auslan interpreter wasn’t organised by us, @goldcoasteagle did it himself through NDIS. Did feel a little strange but lovely that he was so involved in the event (and won the prize for answering all the questions on the back of the menu). I did help out most...

Same - I’ve only been to Jamaica. I should check with Mrs QF WP and her travels. Don’t think I can take away any 🤷‍♂️

Hmmm I’d better look on the map and cross check against my BA97 flight list ✈️ I’m sure I could add cities/countries to the map

Yes, he was from the local Surf Lifesaving Club. Should have ordered like us...

No, the groom was lost until he got married - then he’s bloody well finished (so says my fathers pewter tankard given to him in 1963 by his groomsmen). I think both of our groups had a great time at Ocean View Estates (and our drivers received some of the benefits!)

This morning Mrs QF WP and I went back to the Pancake Manor for breakfast (as I’d left my reading glasses there at the Organising Moderators late night debrief):

Finally had to check on the room before going to our hotel: and one of the hostesses:

Then onto Ocean View Estates for the wine flights: All economy class seating, but with a stunning view Mine were all red Snapped a couple of the new vineyard as I chatted with Mick the bus driver: and the wedding venue

Experience A lunch - We had fun getting lunch. Subway hadn’t prepared the 4 platters (pre-ordered Friday night) when we arrived on time (12:20pm) so we had to wait 30 mins. So did most of the others behind us: Thanks to my helpers @RooFlyer and @serfty who volunteered to come to assist...
