AFF Gathering #12 in ADL on 19 - 21 October 2018

[boomy]

Started boarding, delay to too bad so far.

And my whole precinct just got evacuated. Grabbed my bags just in case we don't get back in before I need to leave.

Melbourne evacuations can last a long time. .... down 35 stories (its a LONG LONG way down) and well, meeting was then cancelled and everyone beat the Tullamarine traffic, and went early to the airport lounge ....

Already cleared so I assume a false alarm as usual. Luckily top floor is level 6 so not so bad for me.

Those with superior logistical skills will see you there.

Some people with more time on their hands you mean ...

 

[RooFlyer]

Have laptop, will travel

You’re right about the headwind Rooflyer; our ETA into ADL is one hour late, so it means we’ve lost a bit of time as well as being late to leave. But shouldn’t complain - sounds like SYD flights are worse.

 

[VPS]

I’m settled into my room at the Hilton

VA lounge in SYD is feral with the delays . Both levels full.

 

[Buzzard]

Apparently navigating fixed, but at this rate close to 2 hours late, will miss my nail appointment. First world problems.

Just wear gloves and come have some drinks

 

[VPS]

Btw I have executive lounge benefits. Can I guest someone in and if so how many?

 

[Hvr]

Have arrived at ADL.

I’m beginning to think I’ll Nigel NoFriends if I actually show up on-time at 6.30

and the gathering will be a handful of people by 8.30 who’ll all be very merry when the latecomers Turn up...

For those who need a LATE dinner, I do know an Indian restaurant down far end Pulteney st whose kitchen is usually open til 10pm ...

Don’t worry, we will be there to keep you company.

Technically only people staying in your room. I’ll let you manage the logistics of who may be staying with you.

 

[RooFlyer]

I might be changing rooms!

Edit: in spirit!

 

[Hvr]

And on the bus!!

 

[TomVexille]

Made it to the MEL VA lounge, but we're still delayed at least half an hour

 

[Bindibuys]

Just landed

 

[blackcat20]

We won’t have lounge access at the Hilton
