OK, was just a suggestion, just trying to get the cost down a little and increase the actual time in the lounges.

Understand that - the various options do need to get looked at. So it is worth throwing ideas around.

I do think, if you go to a particular city, should spend a bit of time there - otherwise you run the risk of not getting to see the lounge at all :shock:

And you could split the flying across 2 days (e.g. go back from ADL via CBR or something)

One could always use points, (and pass the drinks from the trolly back ), I can just see now "Ladies and Gentlemen, due to the unusually high demand from the PE pax, there is no more Gin or Scotch or in fact any alcohol left!"

Had a bit more of a think.

How about use the above as Day 1

and Day 2

ADL-CBR
CBR-Home City.(possibly via SYD or BNE for those that didn't start at BNE the day before.)

You're assuming I've got any points to spend

Probably worth pointing out that the sooner the date is locked in the sooner happy hour comes into play, we missed a good one Friday given it was for the month of Nov.

[h=6]Today's Happy Hour fares: Sydney to/from Gold Coast $59*
Brisbane to/from Newcastle $59*,
Newcastle to/from Melbourne $72*,
Adelaide to/from Melbourne $79*,
Brisbane to/from Sydney $85*,
Melbourne to/from Sydney $85*,
Adelaide to/from Sydney $99*,
Adelaide to/from Brisbane $119*,
Perth to/from Adel $158*[/h]

How about 19 November.

I favour the whole BNE MEL CBR SYD ADL thing for the Saturday, unless the price outweighs the usefulness of covering all 5 ports in the 1 day. Maybe the happy hour prices will come into play here as well. (have to work out how they work!)

 

[Storyteller]

Just re-priced, looking at 19 Nov.
BNE MEL $198, MEL CBR $105, CBR syd ADL $189 Total $492
Still a bit more than $313 though..

Happy Hours are just mini sales, they vary the dates and routes but can be good value, so once we do have a firm date, we can watch out for them!

So, 19 Nov and the whole trip?

 

[markis10]

Sounds good to me! After most big events and early enough to have Xmas parties only having a minor impact in terms of clashes!

This year seems to have really been a good one for AFF social dos, can I say its a credit to the members who have organised/proposed or just attended an event!

Am I sensing a decision being made :?:

To make it easy for all who have been following as well as new to the thread to see, would a Mod change the title to reflect date & destinations please. Or is that something I should do?

Another date that clashes with my planned travel booked more than six months out - that's 4 this year alone ...

19th of November works nicely for me

Aghhh. I paced & circled & waited for more to state workable dates!
Sorry to all those who have clashes. Let me make it up to you - will shout you a drink next time we're in the lounge.
