Boarding soon, Retro Roo. Destination, Longreach!

[mrs.dr.ron]

Looks like a fun trip, and a good cause.

Unfortunately I will be in the Middle East, so won't make it. It would be good to see more of these in the future.

Same with us, we will be OS as well, but would like to see this happen again !

Flying off to AKL that morning. Would have loved to join otherwise, sounds like it will be great fun!

 

[samh004]

Will be working in Longreach at that time, might pop down and say Hi!

If you don't mind me asking, what will you be doing there?

Would love to say hello!

Damm on my birthday too. I wished I had known about this a month earlier otherwise I would have arranged my EK First (QF code) flights with my friend Kiwi Flyer for that weekend and we would have made it up there for an even better birthday indulgence.
Anyway good effort Qantas and the people and companies donating towards this event.

And ... booked!

Something towards the front, window or aisle would be great thanks RR

 

[Princess Fiona]

Me too !!!! So excited to be going on this

 

[samh004]

Currently deciding between flying down and back on that morning (earliest flight from BNE and latest flight back to BNE) or staying in SYD for a couple days and flying out from OOL the night before, and back the day after. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

[medhead]

Regretfully clashes with Clare Valley wine trip.

Same problem, I was sternly told today that I need to book in for that trip. Red Roo can we get a QF783 or QF785 put on for 31 October?

 

[Princess Fiona]

I'm going to fly JQ to ADL for that

 

[medhead]

I didn't even look at JQ...

 

[JohnM]

Dang - can't it come via PER and pick me up?

Just checked U, even X :shock:, availability PER-SYD-PER to make it but nothing at all showing on EF on 30-31 Oct. I don't think I can justify paying to get to/from SYD on top of the SYD-LRE-SYD , especially as I would have been back only a few days from my DONE5 with CC burns on my wallet - and then going to Lake Louise for Xmas for more severe burns.

Hopefully it will become an annual event. (Not the drought, I hasten to add - but maybe the RFDS or rural well-being promotion could be beneficiaries in less droughted times.)

I'll just be getting back from LHR that morning so I'm a pass , that said if any retro roo flyers want to say hi I'll be hanging around T3 for a couple of hours that morning.

 

[RooFlyer]

I didn't even look at JQ...

And very sensible too. However, sometimes sacrifices have to be made!

You could always take the short cut <ducks>

 

[Pushka]

This sounds really cool. Hmmmm. Update later.

 

[esquire]

Indeed yes this one sounds really interesting and have always wanted to visit the Qantas Founders Museum - and in comfort! I think my +1 and I need to attend

Looking forward to the other 95th Birthday celebrations!

 

[RooFlyer]

Seriously though RedRoo, can you say how and when seating will be allotted?

 

[JessicaTam]

Looks like I am working that weekend. Dang.

 

[Fifa]

I would have loved to do this flight but will be in Moorea .
Looking forward to the 100 year event .

Oh boy I can't wait for that!
