Hi all,

For those that have not filled in the form, could you please do so ASAP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zCDAsY2dEb5xNUB7m1s_qlZVNhZSem-GYowHqTAqi5Y/viewform?pli=1

Some discussions with the Hilton are planned next week.

If we wanted to have the drinks with you all - my understanding is that your going to the club lounge is that right? - do they let non guests/extra people pay for entry like they do at some of the hyatts?

I believe there is a pay for entry option (there is at other Hiltons), but will check this (and maybe other options) out for you.

As a quick update, all details of this event will be published on the facebook wall - if you are not a member, head to Frequent Flyers Australia Facebook Group and click on the FB badge to join.

Oz_mark will be collecting all funds as previous.

Please ensure the form is completed regarding hotel stay

Please don't PM me here if you have questions as I cannot guarantee my checking of AFF account.

I look forward to saying farewell to 2012 and hello 2013 with you lot - and a start to a new fresh beginning

Cheers

I still have booked and paid for JQ flights - they keep sending me texts/emails asking to confirm the changes - I'm holding out ...

Might be able to do something. I'm arriving on VA at about 14:30 in SYD. There are 5 of us so a maxi taxi is looking likely. Happy to sell any spare seats.

What day? I normally hire a car, but I'm flying in on Friday (snaffle the suite upgrade before all those AFF freeloaders arrive ) and being SYD with what I reckon is a great train service, I was thinking of just using NSW Public Transport!

(I forgot to say, I despise NSW taxi service. Overpriced con artists that don't seem to speak any dialect that I know)

That could work...

What day?

Um, probably the Saturday. I can't really see any reason to fly up Friday night. If it was Friday night, it would need to be there later in the day (after COB), and I would stay at the PH.

 

[oz_mark]

I'm on VA849 scheduled to arrive 1525 on the Saturday....

Okay, I am looking at availability, you may see me on that flight

Apologies medhead - there aren't any seats on the earlier one... I think some AFFers have taken them all
