Thought I would reply that I am definitely out for this event.

I have a wedding to attend on the 21 July.

Something you haven't told us Bundy Bear? :mrgreen:

I prefer to keep it to a small number there. It's a nice venue for 4-6 people. I don't know how many people are willing to spend $18 a coughtail (I know I am more than happy to, considering how nice it is).

I think i'd have 4 already including you guys, so perhaps I'll go ahead and make a booking for 6 on the Saturday night around 8:30-9pm :)

i am looking at staying in the Rydges next door for this one... Just in case it gets late ;-)
 
Right. I was not going to be in Melbourne any weekend until the second week of August, but i'll confirm I will be at home for this:)

Looking forward to it.
 
Those looking at doing the Saturday F lounge run, TIger have a sale on (29.95) that results in a price beat with JQ for the return journey being $53.95 in total.

At that price, members on the fence should consider booking it as a hedge.

As previously mentioned, I am contemplating JQ35 SYD-MEL only, as this little fish wants to be in a good state for the DC-3 flight.

Oh, FFS :evil:

I had absolutely and quite happily resigned myself to no FLounge runs this year because I am starving as a working writer still putting my portfolio together..

Then this.

Well, I suppose it would be a waste of money not to go, huh? Who else is doing FLounge run on that day? :rolleyes:

I'll be joining from SYD, would be great to see another self-up to deathstar J ;)
 
Booked!

Double FLounging for $53.86! Boy, would that J upgrade be some icing on that cake! :lol:

So 23K becomes 3K by just ignoring the '2'? And the FAs dirty looks?
Click to expand...

Pretty much. I'm 2 for 4 in the self-upgrades on FLounge runs so far and on the others they let me hang out in J for everything except T/O and landing. :rolleyes:

Oh, and on one I got engaged. :mrgreen:

In a gamma-ray burst? Or Wisconsin?

Neither sound worth missing this auspicious event :rolleyes:

Wisconsin. :-). I'd be killed though if I left early to fly off to MEL. :-)
