QF Tweet & Eat (MEL) [13th April 2013]

[drewbles]

Quite a few are planning breakfast in a QF first lounge before flying to ADL that day .

The downside being, you end up in ADL

 

[ChrisFlyer]

It's 8:15pm departure from MEL JQ432. And the QF flights are QF865 and QF497 Cool thanks! Looking forward to it!

Ahh ok - epic fail on FlightTrack Pro's part - it wouldn't find those flights by route (even the JQ one), but when I enter the specific flight number, of course it exists haha! I'll update the table and PM it to a mod with flight times, for correction later today (can no longer edit it myself). Cheers!

And just heard from Kristen on Twitter - emails are definitely coming out this afternoon, so don't stress! (No, I wasn't pestering her - just advising travel details haha)

The email is out! We’re delighted you can join us for a fine dining experience at Neil Perry’s Spice Temple.
We will have a number of guest speakers present and you will have the opportunity to meet the Qantas social media team as well as other Qantas, food, wine and social media enthusiasts.
If you are unable to now attend this event could you kindly let us know at [email protected].
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Just got my invite

 

[Brettmcg]

Right, so who is travelling with whom from MEL and at what time?

I can either organise for my folks to pick me up (I'll be travelling with carry on as I'm staying until Sunday evening) or otherwise I'm happy to chip in to share an Uber car or other transport to a breakfast location.

1 seat in the 9am drewbles express from (near) Tullamarine, non stop to the CBD, remains

 

[DeKa]

Brett I figured we could go together. Happy to do uber, but equally happy to use the Skybus.

 

[Brettmcg]

UPDATE: My folks are going to pick me up and then we're heading to the MCG to secure seats before I head over to Crown.

DeKa, you might want to take drewbles' last spot?

 

[DeKa]

I might take you up on that offer drewbles, if it's still there. Thank you.

The first coffee crew should be well on their way into the city by then, so looks like I'll be catching up with Princess Fiona before we get a pumpkin... err, I mean, a modern mode of transport, into Melbourne.

Sure. As long as you can be a little cramped in the back seat for the trip.

I'll PM you my contact details and where we're meeting.

Pity you won't be getting the stir fried twice cooked pork belly. That dish is awesome!

I'm starting to wonder if the entire group will be AFFers.
