24 Oct - International DYKWIA F Lounge Conference

[Inver]

Great idea. Just booked JQ 35 back next day on JQ30.

Am WP so can guest 1.

Will be coming from Balmoral in Sydney so happy to share transport to/from Airport?

Will probably just do a mystery booking for hotel on Thursday night in city

Will aspire to get to check in at 12noon

PS Price match $107 return!

Sounds like a plan Infinity. I'm coming from Dee Why. I still need to book and am debating if I should bring my wife and young son along.

If you choose to book give me a PM and perhaps we can co-ord some transport?

I'll be flying up on the day from MEL and then staying at the MEL HI after JQ35. I fear I will be in state of shock after flying Deathstar and probably shouldn't drive. (Obviously I'll only drink non alcoholic drinks in the F Lounge. )

.....the other alternative is to do a bit of a status run on the 23rd MEL-HBA positioning flight with a JASA HBA-MEL-SYD. It's getting desperate for SC's in my next year!!!

Let me know what you decide. Always good to travel with a bit of class.

At the moment I'm leaning towards flying up on the day. I'll sort my flight out over the next day or two and post.

That would suit me just nicely.

Booking complete!

QF418 Departing MEL at 9:00AM on the 24th!

Now I need to understand a little more about the Deathstar process. Presumably upon landing at SYD the Transfer Bus can be taken to the International Terminal where we will all obviously meet in the QF F check in suite to receive our boarding passes, priority cards, and orange stickers. Then we will be escorted by the QF F peeps through security and immigration and on to the lounge................

Not gonna happen like that is it.

You haven't seem the flowchart I created, have you?

Just to save those having to read the last 241 posts, here is a simple process of how to get boarding passes early. Keep asking JQ staff until one says yes.

I am now on QF418 too. Incidentally, my first attempt at booking a MASA.

I have about an 80% strike rate getting an early BP, so follow close and please let me do the talking.

You'll need to submit an application and attend an interview to make sure you are qualified!

Tony - if we have to interview him, he clearly isn't a DYKWIA!

Obviously YDYKWIA!! I am far too important to attend and interview, and only wannabes fill out applications!

Congrats - you passed the interview

That's ok, it was my secretary who was replying to you! I was far too important to do that!

What are the joining requirements for this conference? Experiencing a QF Flounge is close to the top of my travel bucket list but I never fly QF and have never met anyone from AFF in person

1/ Getting over your avoidance of the F lounge

2/ Getting over your avoidance of meeting fellow AFFers

3/ Flying JQ

4/ Saying "yes"

He doesn't fly QF so obviously we already should know who he is..!!
