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

Those sale rates are prepaid non refundable though.

From my experience Hilton properties are quite easy with refunding non-refundable rates as long as one doesn’t do it too often but there is also the option of points redemption which is decent value and fully flexible.

Hilton booked for us, if Mods want to update post.

 

[I love to travel]

Local for me thanks

We've got the Hilton booked, just waiting to see how a few things play out before we book flights and commit 100%.

 

[Doug_Westcott]

Currently booked into Intercontinental. Looking for a special/double status credits offer before booking flights.

The wiki has been updated with the latest hotels information, although we are still at an early planning stage for the event.

I booked the $151 x 2 nights a couple of weeks ago ...

(That combined with another booking under the sale, nicely totaled a little over $400, so got $120 back from Amex .)

 

[Bindibuys]

Looking forward to my $120.00 back from Amex too.

I am convinced someone has an agenda to bring my perfect (and unique) AFF#n attendance record to an end! The date, as is often the case, clashes with an event I often attend, and plan to do so again this year. But, it is only a partial clash and I may be able to thwart your evil plans and turn up in ADL for at least part of the weekend. So please mark me as interested (Gold?).

Gosh I don't even have flights remotely nailed down yet .

Bad news: QF apparently sees fit not to release much award space TPAC in October, even in Y . Looks like I'm going to have to pay cash...

Good news: I have a very un-American, dare I say Australian number of vacation days available to use for this at least. More than enough time off available to me . And I have a lot of time for a good airfare sale to appear...preferably a "historic" sale.

Have just booked for myself and admin+1 at the Hilton for the Friday and Saturday evening. Flights still to be determined, but considering doing a road trip from Melbourne for a few days.

Dunno ... There's plenty of wine tasting opportunity between the cities ...


About a week would do it nicely ...

We did road trip ADL-MEL via McLaren, Victor Harbour, Mt. Gambier, Coonawarra and few days around Halls Gap. It was good fun, highly recommend.

OK then, I'm in. 3 star accommodation organised.

 

[Aeolus]

I should be around. Gold for now, thanks.

So you’re also be staying at Hilton

Couldn’t agree more, the rooms are in desperate need of a makeover (not talking about your other Hilton, Buzz!)

 

[Fifa]

I have booked Friday and Saturday nights at the Hilton. I'll probably be joined by Mr Fifa as he hates to miss out!
