Qantas Drought Relief Charity Flight SYD to Longreach- Buy your seat now.

[kpc]

And have to suppress a twitch in the Frequent Flyer nerve at seeing the "No points or SC earn" conditions.....

We got 2200 pts + 30 SCs each way

I just booked ...should be a fun day for a good cause!

It was a great albeit hot day!

Why's there a 747 there? Is there an aviation museum there?

The Tamworth trip sounds great too. But why both of these things out of SYD only?

This should give you some context re Longreach - Qantas Founders Museum | Longreach: The home of QANTAS

A great weekend. Now to catch up on sleep and start detox.

Wish it was healthy to start every day with a Bloody Mary (or two)!

The points and SC were a somewhat unexpected bonus

A great day! I came home with a Mongolian sheep pillow and a Grey brahman acid washed tote bag, the pillow is now the firm favourite on the couch for the whole family. Sooooo soft! (There were a couple of local craft stalls at the evening BBQ, great way to spend some more dollars in LRE without leaving the Founder's Museum).

Had some chats with the LRE mayor, who remembers/knew both of my grandfathers, and one grandmother.

If it wasn't for Longreach, I reckon I wouldn't be alive!

Say G'day to Longreach
Calling all aviation enthusiasts! Grab an Akubra, pull on your RM’s. Join us on 20 October 2018 for an all-inclusive day trip to Longreach to raise funds for drought-stricken Aussie farmers. For $770 per person, your all-inclusive trip includes:


https://www.qantas.com/au/en/promotions/brand/qantas-drought-relief.html?int_cam=au:en:homepage-promotion:drought-relief-longreach-flight:en:flights

• ‘Australian outback’ themed return flights between Sydney and Longreach
• Surprise celebrity guest to host throughout the day
• Entry to the Qantas Founders Museum to experience the original and replica aircraft and the museum’s impressive collection of genuine artefacts
• Inflight auctions
• Champagne brunch in the Sydney Domestic Business Lounge on departure
• Welcome onboard country coughtail and Australian-themed Neil Perry inflight refreshments
• Afternoon tea in Longreach
• Sunset bush BBQ
• Entertainment from Australian music icons
• Gift bag

All proceeds will go directly to Australian charity Rural Aid to purchase hay bales, water, fuel and groceries for farmers and fund counsellors for rural communities. And if that isn’t enough incentive, there is a newly restored Lockheed Super Constellation in Qantas livery now on display. $770 is the equivalent of 7 large hay bales, which feeds more than 70 cows for three weeks.

Is there any planes for a another flight like this to Longreach & how do we find out when these charity flights are coming up

I actually didn’t get any DSC despite being registered for them.
Ah QF consistently inconsistent.
