DJ Appreciation Run Nov 19 BNE MEL CBR SYD ADL

[Taezar]

Haha, yes. The cab fare for me would add ~$50 alone. Let alone the (big) chance of me sleeping in and missing it.

Coachtrans has a 4am run that will get you there at 4.20am for $16

Have written it as one line for you, & one for your +1.
Only you know if your +1 is your ego, alter or otherwise...

 

[tuapekastar]

I'm in.

19/11 MEL-CBR on DJ early on Sat 19 NOV, and lunch with a CBR based friend.

19/11 DJ655 CBR-SYD, DJ436 SYD-ADL (both of which I think conform with the majority).

Staying at ADL Hilton.

20/11 ADL-MEL DJ226 (@1405).

Look forward to catching up.

My flights are coming together. Have booked. 5am ex bne, cbr-syd, syd-adl.

Umming about mel-cbr and adl-Bne. Perhaps ill end up on qf for a cpl of sectors. Haven't chosen hotel yet.

Having booked a few DJ flights for the outbound day, I'm a creature of habit & have been looking at both QF & Dj for inbound.
Had a few wild thoughts about ADL MEL BNE TSV & TSV BNE. May just settle on ADL MEL BNE. ASA are pulling in red e deals for ADL MEL, and surprisingly J for MEL BNE! Same for ADL SYD BNE.
A few wilder thoughts of ADL DRW BNE TSV & TSV BNE were tamed before they grew legs. Save that for another day. Maybe once the summer rains start again & the views will be even more spectacular than the last 2 times.

But then, while I'm out & about I may as well see a bit of the countryside.

Looking forward to being in ADL - I love it there on a warm spring evening. Great eating weather & Adelaide provides so many options.

Yeah, I've been debating whether to stay in ADL for the day and go see the Zoo, and enjoy Adelaide... but I'm sure the Pandas will be there for another day (Assuming the Zoo doesn't go broke!).

A JASA ADL-DRW-ADL-SYD-BNE has attracted my attention. $459.37 AUD +72,000 (250SC ), but the website isn't behaving correctly at the moment. Bouncing through PER was something I looked at, but involves a red-eye (but gives me time in ADL) and is only 200sc for roughly the same cost...

I know it's a DJ appreciation weekend, but I don't see the love on Sunday with the timings and fares.

EDIT -- Booked a JASA:

ADL-SYD-CNS-SYD-BNE // earning 260SC, 9189 points ($401.60 AUD +60,000 pts)

 

[trippin_the_rift]

I'm definitely out of this one. Wisdom teeth coming out mid Nov and told I can't fly for a few weeks afterwards ;(

Looks like a load of fun though

 

[anat0l]

I'm pulling out of this one, sorry. I can't weasel out of another commitment on this weekend.

However, I shall be showing my appreciation to DJ a bit earlier. It's sort of a run. Too bad I don't get any points or SCs for it.

Have fun all. And please make sure to clean the sandwich toasters after you use them:?:

 

[DGW]

Guys are all and sundry welcome? I'm thinking this might be a good opportunity to meet some of the regulars. And I'll finally be Gold by then so it might be good to celebrate with some frivolous criss-crossing of the country.

Cheers

Hi Dylan, Im new here too, and Im joining in, I have booked as follows, trying to keep to the times suggested as much as possible (Allowing for budget as well)
. WOuld be nice if some others started confirming if they are going or not, I am regardless. Also had my first meet up with some AFFers the other day, great people, so a trip such as this should be fun.

5.00 BNE
8.25 MEL

If you dont make gold before, its no drama, there should be enough Golds / Platinums to guest you in anyway.

 

[DGW]

Great, well I'm up for it, just have to work out my routing.

As much as I'd love to check out the ATR, I'm not sure I can justify the $333 for MEL-CBR and CBR-SYD. I'd rather put that towards a night at the Hilton in Adelaide. I'm thinking I'll do MEL-SYD at 1500hrs (DJ853), SYD-ADL at 1815 (DJ436) and then either stay over at the Hilton etc or head back to MEL on the last flight at 2035.

 

[DGW]

Well guys for anyone that's interested I've just pulled the trigger and booked the following:

Start at MEL lounge around 12ish

DJ853
MEL 1500
SYD 1625

DJ436
SYD 1815
ADL 1950

I might contemplate whether to stay over in ADL or get the last flight back.

Not likely that anyone here will need it, but I'll be Gold and will have a couple of guest passes so could potentially guest x3 if required.

Look forward to meeting you all.
Dylan

Well then, We'll look forward to seeing you in SYD & ADL. If you do stay for dinner etc it will be a good evening.

And, re-looking at you times, you'll wave us off in MEL, then we'll catch up in SYD. Will be the 2nd time we meet, so we'll be old friends!

Good to know you can guest a few - thanks.

Unfortunately am going to have to out of this.

I'm based in ADL and have plans that evening here, I simply can't get back in time to maintain those appointments if I try and jump on a few flights that morning.

Enjoy the trip guys.

 

[Mal]

All my flights are now booked. Still to book hotel... thinking the ic, but not sure.

Oh and regarding my jasa, after more research realised bouncing thru tsv would have been better. Oh well.... another time.
