I have received information about flights - arriving into Sydney at 10.25 am. Departing 5.25pm. Anyone else yet? I've just given work the good news and am missing a management meeting. Shame. :).

Got my details. Arriving from BNE at 1000h, departing 1705h.

Wouldn't mind an overnighter, but naturally that would be pushing the friendship, so the day trip it is.
 
Great points Sam.
i haven't look through the thread, as l'm not attending, but.....

  • Restaurants - Since the introduction of earning points from restaurants to the program, numbers have mainly gone down. Currently they advertise over 200 restaurants and bars and cafes, but actually only offer 139. There's only 11 in the whole of QLD. It's a mess of a program, further ruined by the extra point because I'm an epiQure member, being worthless when there isn't any choice.

...why keep holding these events at Rockpool?

Yes, I know that he's the QF signature chef, but there are other restaurants out there in Sydney city who are also QF points partners.
 
Have received my flights & accommodation email, just needing me to confirm everything & they will go ahead & book them.

Since im based in KGI, means I get 2 nights in the big smoke, sweet :lol:

Bonus having extra 2 days off too :mrgreen:
 
I am pretty happy with Rockpool. Seems like an obvious choice to me, given the linkage with Qantas. NPPP and all that. Actually, having never experienced a NPPP they could serve me that on a plate and I'd be happy. Well, not really, but a takeway in a Qantas bag would see me right for the taxi back to the airport. :) Or maybe I'd keep it as a souvenir. :) Other than memories, are there any souvenirs of the day?

I confess that as I have not yet dined at Rockpool I am cool with the venue

Same flights I think. I'm thinking it's probably easiest to get the train into the city and walk from there to Rockpool (unless the flight is delayed).

Very confusing now that there seem to be 2 threads covering the same topic!

Could you have asked for an overnight flight and paid for your own accommodation? A 7:25am departure is a little early....

May have been an idea, but I could do without paying for the accommodation (cash strapped a little right now).

0725h is not brutally early. Plus, at least there will be at least one WP in our entourage going to SYD (and back), because as a SG I can't get into the Dom J lounges any more.

A Oneworld Emerald cannot access the domestic business lounge?
