Feb 2007 lounge meetings

[JohnK]

If 04:30 is too late/early for you then how about 01:55 to 05:50 at Perth? (International to Domestic transfer).

I assume the QC will be open then, or am I dreaming?

I was there last week and it is not fun.

Not sure whether you read my updated post but it will cost ~$25.00 to go by taxi from International to domestic. Take note that domestic terminal opens at 04:00am and Qantas lounge opens 04:15am. If you time it so that you are one of the last people through immigration and customs it should then be around 03:00am so grab a taxi and head to domestic terminal and wait for it to open. Nothing is happening in the international terminal at that time of the morning.

$25 for a terminal transfer has got to be one of the great rip-offs in aviation, and I have been informed that a transfer bus will be plying the route after the losers have staggered through C&I. If not then I will cuddle up to my duty-free and pour myself into the first bus that leaves in the morning.

I won't be doing this again in a hurry ....

A night in SIN would have been a much better option.

I am not sure what happens or what you have been informed but as far as I am aware the complimentary bus service does not start until 05:00am and it takes around 12 minutes to get to domestic terminal. I think pushing it a little fine for a 05:50am departure.

Yuck! And I thought the 11pm ones were bad!

I've always thought it amazing that BA has three 747's all leaving HKG in a 90 minute period. Add to that Cathay with their late night shuttle as well, and that's a lot of pax.

Also VS in that time.

The redeyes I kept getting are from SIN to north asia, leave around midnight SIN time (4/5am NZ time), short flight and arriving 6am local time next morning. There are also some ugly schedules southeast asia through middle east to europe/africa - late night departure and middle of the night transit in middle east.

Using Radioman's lead from over on FT, I have created a Calendar that everybody can use to advise the times and dates they will be in QC's. Click on this link and you'll notice it's headed AFF members Qantas Club meetings.

<snip>

Calendar link is a tad flaky, but I got it to work.

In any case,
SYD Intl J, 12~pm - 3pm, on QF73 to SFO. PM me if you're on that flight and you would like a free beer
