We now have 31 Platinum! :)

I seem to have been missed on page 1 :(.

But please upgrade both of us to Platinum :).
Now to look at flights.

Sorry about that, I have upgraded you ;)

The outwards flight has changed to from V1424 to VA1426

Not sure how I missed your flight details the first time, but they're now all on the first page.

I arrive on 16 Oct on QF784 at 1630 and depart 19 Oct on QF709 at 1010 so maybe we can arrange something with taxis when we are inbound. Outbound can be discussed later. I am pretty sure I still have your mobile number from the HKG crawl last year.

Looks like you'll also be flying up with tuapekastar.

Please make me Platinum for this.

Arrive 16 Oct 16:10 on QF926.
Depart 19 Oct 12:55 on QF923.

Staying at Hilton.

I'm looking to do taxi shares from and to CNS if anyone is interested. There seem to be a few people coming and going at about the same time.

Added you to the list.
 
WP for this 'gatho'.
Arriving
17 OCT 15 16:30 QF616/784 - slc767338

Staying at either Doubletree, Hilton or Shangri-La for the night.

I have made a reservation for the Hilton for the nights of Friday 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th. As I have unfortunately dropped back to 'Blue' with Hilton I do not expect any favours from them with the allocation of my room.

Now that you're added, I can see you'll be leaving with jojen +1 on the Sunday.

Perhaps at a later stage when there are more booked, someone could send the manager an email noting the event and the forward loyalty of upgrades that could be had ;)
 
Re: Schedule

Hopefully by October you'll look upon AFF#9 as a lovely weekend away :)

Which is what the plan was, especially as some good friends would have likely moved back to Cairns by then, however our wedding anniversary later in the month takes priority and we are heading in the opposite direction for that and will take advantage of the recent SCs on Classic Rewards offer.
 
Flights are booked, can upgrade to platinum.
Arriving Friday on QF782 landing 11.55am.
Leaving Sunday on QF655 departing 5.10pm.
Staying at Hilton.

Excellent CMA222. I'm happy to wait for you in the Qantas Lounge :). I have your mobile number.

I'm certainly up for a cab share (arr. 16:30 Friday).

I've booked the same flights as boomy so please color me platinum :)
 
Will be nice to see you again stark.
Btw, I'm in 4C on both flights if you haven't figured that out yet from the seat map :)

I figured that was you :) I'll be in 6D until much closer to departure.
 
We now have 33 platinums listed, with flights for 24 noted. These details are in post #4.

While there's still plenty of time to go, this should mean cab shares to/from the airport shouldn't be a problem.

As I booked my flights prior to my P1 drop, I'm in 1A/C on the return ;)

I am currently booked on VA1429 for Thu 15-Oct and Fri 16-Oct, and will work out which one I'm on closer to the date once I know what is happening for work that week. (Look forward to meeting you on the flights either Bindibuys or kpc. I can guest into the SYD Lounge as required.)

Return flight not booked yet, but most likely VA1408 on Mon 19-Oct.

I'll be staying at the kevrosmith Best Exotic Tropical North Queensland Hotel for the weekend ;) . I'm fortunate enough to have a permanent upgrade to the Master Suite :D

Looking forward to seeing the schedule to work out what activities I can get along to, but should be able to join in at some events throughout the weekend.

Looking at taking a side trip to Cooktown after the event (to recover).

It's a great drive with some interesting roadhouses to stop at along the way. The journey is as much a part of a trip to Cooktown as Cooktown itself.
