How many AFFers will be on the first JQ787 commercial service MEL OOL Nov 13?

Currently at the skate park end awaiting its arrival, scheduled at 1600 now.

RWY 14 is in use at the moment so we should get a good view of the arrival!

Anyone see it?

I took out the lens I wanted but left my camera body at home so all I have to offer is an iPhone snap



It wasn't that dark, the phone set exposure for the sky.....

From inside the terminal.



Not the best picture either, sorry.

Finally made my decision will be flying QF409 SYD - MEL, then JQ 432 then VA544 OOL - SYD after some dinner in Coolangatta. Decided against the return flight already spent enough money and would like to at least do something with the few hours left of the day.

Better pack your lippie!

I was thinking about making a statement... my usual hi-vis footwear, but maybe some fishnet stockings, flannel shirt and short shorts...

Now that may just make the news if I actually do make it onboard

I got the same, plus an identical email for the OOL-MEL flight.

I received a call saying that there had been a problem with my booking. The seats I selected (first row of economy), were double booked and wouldn't mind moving to another seat. They moved me towards the rear but on an exit row, refunded the extra I had paid for the seats I selected and sent both of us a voucher for $100..... At least I'm still on the flight . When I received the email about the media, I did wonder if I'd been relocated to suit them ....

So is everyone wearing thier official AFF badges ?

That is weird as 5 of the 9 seats in the first row of Economy are still showing as available

10C 10E 10F 10G 10J

You mean the "Bring back ATA and online JASA" badges?

Just to refresh my memory and save me digging through this thread, who is doing to direct turn-around back to Melbourne?

I have also been moved but no call or email. I better get a voucher too - pretty annoyed by it too. Probably been bumped for VIPs

 

[Catweazle]

Hmm, ought I to give up my window seat for 10G? But then I can't mess around with the new fandangled windows!

My guess is that most of the media, if not all, are going to be seated up front somewhere. Seems almost silly to stick them all at the back...

What say we all don AFF morph suits?
