anat0l, well he isn't overseas this time.

The trivia makes for a fun night.

The answer to the airline related question, What is the busiest European city pair? London-Dublin.

I hope to see a few of you there.

Shall definitely try make it. That day and the day after is the HeliPacific Conference on the Gold Coast so there will be plenty of choppers here and I want to stand in the wash at least one of the days when the ADF ones take off.

I am pretty sure I am an apology for that night.

Had a great time a few weeks ago

 

[Katie]

And I will be out of the country again. Illinois this time, and the trip will re-qual me for WP til Sept 2013.

A maybe. Am up in Bris this and next week, unsure about the following.

 

[Taezar]

I will be back from diving so will there. Not sure if I will stay for the whole of trivia.

 

[stark]

It's likely I'll still be in Vietnam so will have to miss this one unfortunately.

 

[dfcatch]

I'm out for this one - sorry guys.

Generally speaking - my vote is for Thursday nights

 

[MissBurrill]

I'll be a maybe on this one.

 

[Storyteller]

That said, drinks nights never used to have trivia, but it does offer a bit of extra fun.

Whilst in the thread of Brisbane residents (and drinkers) can someone recommend a good Brisbane pub to watch the Really New Boys v New Boys on Sat (ie Giants v Suns)... FYI as a Sydney resident I will be supporting the Giants and wearing black and white for the later game at the Gabba, so the most redneck pub in Bris is probably not the smart choice

 

[moa999]

bump any suggestions

As May 23rd is State of Origin night, trivia won't be held at the Mill ... (That is the information I have, presume it is correct).

I should have consulted a diary, I should get the thread title edited.

The answer to the airline related question, What is the busiest European city pair? London-Dublin.

Are you sure of this? I'd be prepared to put a vote in for MAD-BCN (but as ever, I may be wrong)

As with any statistic it depends which metric you use (passengers, number of flights, etc), what your sample data set is (timeframe, source), how old your data is, whether you are measuring a city pair or exact airport codes (e.g. LON <> LHR)... I could go on

Wikipedia would appear to agree with you:

World's busiest passenger air routes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A more recent summary from Amadeus...

Seven out of ten of the world's busiest inter-city routes are within Asia as the region leads global travel growth
