2012 AFF Christmas Event and Dinner [22nd Dec, Melbourne]

[Sprucegoose]

Half the cab drivers in Melbourne, wouldn't even have a clue where Mt Alexander Road is!

I am more than happy for people if they wish to meet at my office which is 7 mins from the airport and I may be able to assist with some transport depending on Mr Mella

Half!! You are too generous ma'am.

A kind offer from you BTW.

KST will do a group rate door to door for $16 per person, saves the skybus dog leg and waiting:

Melbourne Tullamarine airport shuttle services. Melbourne airport bus transfer | KST

I'm going to book KST. Anyone else in?

I'll go with whatever works... So sure - count me in

I'll get in - why not, seems the easiest option and only a few more dollars than Skybus.

We need at least 6 to get the price to $16 per pax.

 

[serfty]

FWIW, those with a Myki can get in for $3.30. (3pm bus to Essendon RS)

 

[JohnK]

I will be driving past about 6ish if someone (or 3) would like a lift.

I think I arrive ~5:30pm and would love a lift.

Talk to you in a couple of days.

 

[munitalP]

Booking made for 6. 2 seats up for grabs.

 

[Ewing]

I'll take one of the remaining two.

You would be more than welcome.

I am trying to leave work early that night so would hope to be at MEL a bit before 6 if all goes well.

Hi Ya'll

Saturday night dinner...

The deposits that were paid have been forwarded quite some time ago to the restaurant. On the night, everyone who attends will be required to pay the outstanding. Please ensure you have enough cash with you to pay this prior to the meal as it will be collected as a group and paid as a group. If anyone wants to pay the lot on a CC for the points, just let me know and you can have the cash and look after final payment to the restaurant.

The bar will be a cash bar, so you can make your own arrangements to run a tab or just PAYB (pay as you booze)

I hope that clarifies things

Hand up. Pick me, pick me

 

[JessicaTam]

Wow, it took at least four minutes for the reply. We must be slipping.

 

[Bundy Bear]

How much was the balance left to pay, oz_mark if you are serious then you have PM.

 

[serfty]

Deposit was $50, so $49 pp remaining.

...

The components of the dishes may change before Christmas and fresh product will determine some items - the menu will be updated in December, but other than that, no changes. The meal cost is $99.00 per person.

OK - you and I will sort it out on Saturday

I darn near got whiplash from the speed you reacted!

On the last few trips down south, a cab to HSW has been ~$45 and private cars a flat $60 - $70 depending who you talk to. Split into a few, this is cheaper and faster than bus..?

Not sure where you're getting your rates! Unless things have changed slightly, or I keep getting rather incompetent taxi drivers, but a ride from airport to HSW cost me at least $60 last time.

Heck, you can't get Brisbane CBD to BNE airport for less than $50 or so; if it's cheaper in Melbourne that's a riot...

 

[serfty]

I depends on the route - If they different ways $45 is quite possible. Most drivers will use the Bolte Bridge possibly adding another $5-$8 in distance and time to the Journey.


Try this: http://www.taxi.vic.gov.au/passengers/taxi-passengers/taxi-fares/taxi-fare-estimator It gives $55


Use:

From: Melbourne Airport

To: South Wharf Promenade, South Wharf Vic 3006

I depends on the route - If they use Flemington Rd and Wujerredi way $45 is quite possible. Most driver will use the Bolte Bridge thereby adding another 3 K to the Journey.

IIRC taking the bridge also has a higher CityLink toll.

The short way is fine in times of non-peak traffic.

so you are going to join us on JQ1 and make sure we have a cheaper way to HSW.
