Lunch with Lesley

[samh004]

Any of our esteemed mods get the nod ?

Not a mod, but a social ambassador.

 

[Flying Fox]

Anyone from Adelaide?

Yes. I'm pleased to represent Adelaide.

Did you get the nod too? Are you based in ADL?

 

[Mattg]

Congratulations to the lucky people who get to go.

I'd be curious to know what questions were asked by the "winners"?

 

[GoldCanyon340]

Anyone from Adelaide?

Yes indeed.

Alas, I ruled myself out early on, have a meeting I couldn't change. Haven't seen any of the others post

 

[TonyHancock]

Yes. I'm pleased to represent Adelaide.

Are they sending a car for you, or will you have to take the bus or train?

Something else to chew over with Lesley at lunch: QANTAS to "tax" its Dallas bound customers - Airline Hub Buzz | Airline news and Information

Edit: Apparently its a surcharge for "high demand". So to avoid such surcharges on other routes, do we take the hint?

Simple and fair ones .

 

[Dmac6345]

Is there anyone else from Melbourne going to hold my hand.
Surely not. Although a nice range from what I can see. Newcastle, Brisbane, Perth etc.

 

[Mattg]

Simple and fair ones .

Simple and fair in the Qantas sense or the normal one?

 

[Dmac6345]

Just to add. It appears that we are making our own way to the restaurant.
Unless someone wants to drive me.

The Indian-Pacific?

 

[Pushka]

Wrong thread. Oops.

 

[drross]

Just caught the Indian Pacific from Adelaide to Perth . Great food and staff excellent. Happy to fly back east though.

I could not consider entering - of those who provide 3rd level support of a nation wide computer system I'm the only one on deck coming up to Easter.

(Of course, I'm off to NZ, the USA & Japan over Easter)

Where is that Australian she'll be right mate spirit? Pfft.

 

[JohnK]

Yes. I'm pleased to represent Adelaide.

Did you get the nod too? Are you based in ADL?

No. I hadn't seen any names from Adelaide.

Yes indeed.

Good to have you both along.

You mean no Chauffeur Drive?

 

[JohnK]

I am sure you should be able to organise sharing a taxi with someone as most people from ADL, BNE, MEL should be arriving around the same time.

I don't think it is meant to be a secret. My 3 questions

- Changes rewarding flexible airfares but neglecting those who fly a lot on cheaper airfares
- Partner earn especially on those routes Qantas does not service
- Jetstarisation
