I think it would be best to just use commerical flights and let people do as much or as little of it as they wish. It is just more flexible.
 
If we are going to be setting up a set of flights. It would be worthwhile stopping at one of the major airports and trying to set up a Q&A with some staff from Virgin. If we are lucky, maybe we can get a tour of some of the facilities of the airport. IIRC Delta had a couple of days where they showed people around an airport, that sort of behind the scenes stuff. That would be good fun.

If we are serious about this, I'd be more than happy to help with the planning and some of the organisational stuff.
 
how about the Hilton Sydney? if the exec. lounge gets too boring .. im keen to lead us into Marble Bar downstairs :)

Please, not the 1st weekend in December!! I get back from the US on the 9th. It would be just wrong to miss out on this one.

How about Sat / Sun 26 / 27/11/11?

But that's the weekend we get back from the US!!!
Just can't please some people ;)
 
Can you HH diamonds guest in us lowly HH golds for ATA??
 
I am keen as well




Damn you iphone and fat fingers. Sent from my iphone and AFF app :))
 
My preference would be later in december. In fact I only have 5 more commuting flights to book, so if I can vary my plans to fit with this it would be great.

Off the top of my head around 17 Nov, 1, 7/8, 19, 22 Dec would be great for me. :p :cool:
 
Do we have any VA pilots or cabin crew as AFF members ? If so maybe they could rearrange their roster

I'm sure I can arrange for a few Flight Attendants to make an appearance somewhere along the way.:rolleyes:

Their rosters only come out a week before they are due to start. So we wouldn't know until the month of travel where everybody is.

If we had to pick dates, I'd say before school holidays started. Prices will go up, fares will increase and most staff will be a lot busier. How about around the end of November?
 
Good idea - but only if I can help empty that mini bar ;)

If we get some firm dates and ADL is OK by everybody as a destination, I will talk to the IC ADL about getting access to the club for AFF members who are staying there, of course we will no doubt all be booking for two adults ;)

I'd rather the choice be on a weekend :shock: Not sure if there are any sales coming up, but IIRC sales fares have generally cut out aroound the 14th of Dec, so that would be the latest date, if possible sales fares were being looked at.

Oops, I wasn't exactly clear. Those dates are my usual flights that I still need to book. If it was on the nearest weekend, it would make it easier for me to attend, as I'd be looking to get from ADL-SYD (or vv) by whatever route. ;)

Fair enough. As for dates, well pick a date where there are not insane prices in the destination of choice. I worked through Adelaide and Melbourne for some dates:

I would be interested. The only 2 dates listed above I could do are Nov 5, and Dec 3 tho.
 
If we can make it before the Tutankhamun exhibition finishes on 4 Dec and include melbourne, I'd almost certainly be a starter for a BNE-MEL leg (or perhaps BNE-SYD-MEL, or perhaps OOL-MEL, or perhaps OOL-SYD-MEL or.......:shock:) and I was planning a stay @ HMSW as HOTP doesn't cater for families (is this AFF gathering family friendly??). Also, as HH gold, I'd have access to the Exec. lounge and be able to guest my +1 in as well!
