Have decided to attend this auspicious event! I'm still deciding on whether or not I can bring myself to being at MEL at 6am, but if I do there's another guest spot open in the FLounge.

BAM1748, do you need anyone behind the bar for the ride there and back? It should be nice and warm, so Mojitos may be required! :D

Sarah is usually behind the bar, go here for a pic. Trainspotting with Sarah | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

But she may need a stand in on this trip.
 
Hrm how did I miss this one?

I think I may be in need of an F Lounge run also. Any room left on the carriage? If so I think I can be convinced of this:)

Put me down as a yes if there's room please (and providing there's still some cheap JQ flights available on the Sat)

Looks like JQ36 is going to be another domestic favourite flight number along with JQ35, JQ3 and at a stretch QF19.

Of course:)

Flights booked. Up on the JQ 36 on the Saturday, coming back Sunday night with some others on a DJ (:shock:) flight. I don't need more SC's for this year. I'm already embarking on my WP Re-qual a few days after I get back from this:)

(of course i'm hoping there's room for me in the carriage, as i've booked now. Else i'll have to wave you all off from the platform and find elsewhere to drink:)
 
Don't forget to update the list drewbles (refer to notzac's post last night) :)

How cool.

A lot of WP's and lesser beings on a train. A trip report is a MUST. Please!

We'll get everyone in, I might have to ask a couple of people to sacrifice a seat and be prepared to lean at the bar.

I am sure people people won't mind holding up I mean leaning against the Bar!!!!

Must book flights now.. F lounge visit is very appealing (especially as i havn't done it before and mini miss nlagalle is desparate to fly JQ - ok she loves the ads ok!)!!
 
JQi36 MEL-SYD is currently available on Sat 13th for $49 + CC fee (light fare, no checked luggage, $59 with luggage)

Departs 9am, arrives 10:25am.
