AFF Gathering #7 at HBA on 29 November - 1 December

[JessicaTam]

Ok , now that Im back from my 4 day trip to WLG , Im now looking forward to HBA this Friday . As I'm heading down on Friday morning , hiring a car and plan to spend the day exploring some of the East Coast before heading back into HBA in the late afternoon , I was thinking that on my way back I could possibly swing past HBA airport at around 5pm and pick up a few AFF'ers that may need a lift into the city . I only have a small Toyota Corolla , which could accommodate another 3 people + bags. If you would like to grab a seat on Flight GW001 , just drop me a PM …. 2 more sleeps

Thanks for the offer gwilli1. Straitman has kindly offered* blackcat20 and I a lift, but I am sure there are others who would be grateful.

*depends on interpretation

I can be flexible with the time before 5pm , prefer not to do any later as I'm keen to be having a bevvy or 2 when we kick off at 6 .

A couple of teasers for Saturday night's dinner:

There will be a surprise guest speaker - well, he was surprised when I asked him the other day. :shock:

There will also be some prizes thanks to the generosity of AFF, QF and VA.

I am getting a little bit excited - 2 more sleeps.

I've checked in for my flights tomorrow, 1F, 1D and 1F.

Now just need to get home and pack my bags.

 

[gwilli1]

Just did the same thing , although could only get 6F on VA in the morning . Will try to change to row 3 when i get to the lounge in the morning . Either way not overly concerned as i currently have a shadow .

8F for me (but then, Im on JQ)

 

[Anna]

Checked in on QF1015 and, 27 hours out, got seq nbr 44 :shock:

Who's in 4D on that flight? Anyone from here?

WOW, lots of connecting passengers.

I think this is the default HBA flight for DXB and LAX connections given the earlier one is "too tight" for a connection.

8F for me (but then, Im on JQ)

I am in 7F. If you don't kick my seat, I won't recline! Deal?

 

[blackcat20]

Sounds like a fair exchange to me

Which flight are you on MEL-HBA?

I'm on the later VA one, but may try to fly ahead if I can get out of work early enough.

 

[Ewing]

Enjoy everyone.

As expected I wasn't able to get away. I was even asked yesterday if I really need to take time off over Christmas as there's stuff they want me to do.

Doesn't bother me too much. I'm on a daily rate

VA leaving Melbourne 1630.

There's a slim chance I can move all this forward tomorrow too

Look forward to eventually catching up.

Curiously they aren't selling that flight (or my flight either) any-more, but the seat-map on EF has a healthy number of empties (presumably not yet allocated pax ??).

• OLCIed for my flight last night
• Name tags are done
• I have packed my rollaboard
• Mona ferry ticket printed

I assume the PDF attached to the email is important seeing as it's got "BOARDING COPY" on it. I suggest you PRINT THESE. I am not sure what the situation is if you forget to print your ticket, so please don't forget...


Now, what am I forgetting?

Don't forget to get to the airport early so you can 'fly-ahead' and join us for drinks.
