[straitman]

Having been to previous "internet group" gatherings. How will you all introduce yourselves? by your AFF nicknames? or with your real names?
Always makes for fascinating obersvations

Yes and yes :!:

We've made it. And what an adventure.

My box of chocolates on QF8 were well received. Had a couple of crew thank me personally, I think they got shared around e entire aircraft.

Not sure if eggs Benedict AND blueberry pancakes washed down with 2 glasses of tattinger in the space of 30 minutes was sucha a great idea.. But it was fantastic

I think I embarrassed our FA on QF55 when I handed her the box of chocolates, but she sure made up for it with the continuosly flowing alcohol. So much for no drinking before tomorrow ...

Got an upgrade at the Crowne which was nice, apparently I know only have two hours to recover before drinks at Euro ... Serious first world problems here

 

[awilcockson]

Btw, no sign of rain, it's actually quite warm!

You broke that rule very early this morning...

Not a bad view from Hilton either.

I tried to give a box of choccies to the Jetstar hosties, they wanted to charge me a $10 gratuity acceptance fee though.

Currently in NZ lounge in Syd...whilst nice, and beats loitering at the gate, it is no QF F lounge ...see you all tomorrow at lunch, or earlier. Not happy....flight now delayed 1 hour!

Might catch the tail end of you in the NZ lounge if you have any further delays. I'll probably head into the airport in about 30 mins

Still bummed that QF49 doesn't seem to be operating today (for whatever reason). Otherwise I'd be on that instead! Hopefully Air NZ will be decent.

 

[Simo]

Looking like rain in AKL...

On my way now, walking from the Crowne

QF26 should be leaving LAX in about 1.5hrs. Bad news - no upgrades on points. Good news - plat shadow should hold ao we should have 4 seats to the three of us.
Thanks to dodgy meal last night, I am unlikely to eat between now and the lunch.
I ruddy well hope I sleep well on this flight.
