AFF Gathering #9 at CNS on 16 - 18 October

[penegal]

I did wonder...

Eintirely un-intentional, just quietly amusing. Naturally you were together in the mail merge so went into the laminator together and came out stuck.

Thankfully I had time to do a second batch for the ones I stuffed up.

I apologise in advance that my efforts are amateur compared to "the master", who I must thank for lending my some equipment.

 

[TomVexille]

Correct Weight

It seemed too obvious...

And yet we were about the last pair suggested.

 

[Aeolus]

Hello Penegal, would it be possible for you to swing by the airport around 1205hrs on Fri? The 4 of us should be out by then (Boomy is the last to arrive at 1155hrs). BC and TV, give me a ring when you arrive as I will be waiting at the QC lounge and can guest you in while we wait for Boomy to arrive.

Jess, I'm also relocating to Hilton instead of DT, thanks to their revised rates today (some massive tour group(s) must have cancelled, up to 2 weeks ago, only the spa room remaining - win for me ).

 

[Bindibuys]

We should be able to guest into the QF lounge as well if you want

Even though we are on VA flights? I will go where ever the party is (and with who ever can get me in the lounge - unless of course we get upgraded for the return flight.)

 

[serfty]

Woo Hoo, both of us upgraded for the flight from Syd to Cns.
Serfty, may still need you to "guest" us for the flight home.

No problems - domestic guests don't even need to be flying QF (or VA for that matter). I'm hoping we can do a mini PM lounge crawl and attend both lounges

I can guest three into VA; if I was flying QF I could guest two. Hopefully there's enough statused QF departures to allow all interested in ...

I thought it was so obvious it was not worth mentioning - I assumed all the other guesses were attempts at humour.

I may also still be around the airport (arrival 0925) as I'd planned to catch up with BC and TV, but will see what happens.

Will look out for you (assuming you will be at the QC lounge?) but to wait from 0925 to 1205 is hard core! :shock:

It's not the longest I've ever spent in a lounge... but will just depend how I feel after the flight, bearing in mind I have an 0700 departure, and don't know what breakfast will be like... I'd hate to pay for it when it's provided for me in the lounges

Plus, I doubt I'll be able to check-in at that time, so got nothing better to do!

And yes, will be the QP.

Fair enough! I would have had 2 breakfasts by then (or 3 if I feel like eating before my flights). See you at the QP

That is the plan

Sounds like a plan to me. Between the two of us we can guest 2 into QF. Wouldn't mind having a nosy around the CNS VA lounge.

I've had a little fun with the spreadsheet - looks like QF655 is the 'party' flight.

I'm not doing GI and plan to head out from DT to have a couple of hours there before boarding ...

[boomy]

So many AFFers on QF655 and no complementary alcohol in Y to celebrate

Red Roo should do something about that

At least two of us are in J

 

[boomy]

At least two of us are in J

Less work for Red Roo then, 2 down 4 to go

 

[straitman]

Our room is supposed to have a balcony - not sure how big it will be.

I think they all have balconies.

 

[straitman]

Is the penegal airport transfer available on Thursday around 1630? Can you fit in 4?

Should be okay - just remind me... I should really write all this down

Mmmmmm.

How about at approx 1540 Thur :?:

Four of us arriving on QF926 at 1520. :shock:

I can pay approx 280,000 Ansett points.

 

[blackcat20]

Aeolus, can you pm me your number?

 

[Aeolus]

Done. Sorry, thought you have my number.
