Don't think PER domestic opens till 0430.

 

[JohnK]

OK, thanks. No point rushing through immigration then.

 

[serfty]

Hmmm ... there's no complimentary transfer bus between 21:30 and 05:00; If you're on the 0550 SYD flight you may need to take a taxi.

Not sure you will have much choice. Immigration shuts overnight.

When I had a lengthy delay on NZ (PER-AKL) we arrived at airport OMG oclock and immigration was shut. I asked the agent and she said they are staffed all night but only open the counters for a set time after arrivals and a set time before departures. I didn't ask but presume you can't linger airside when they want to shut up.

I must say as one of the first 2 people through when they opened up, there was no one airside (not even shop or lounge staff - QP didn't open until later).

He'll be ok if it one of the days Royal Brunei flys in! Otherwise the counters would close.

Yes they don't have a complimentary transfer between these times. I find this a little strange as I am sure that QF72 would have many passengers transiting through to WA regional airports and even other major Australian airports.

A taxi it is then.

*half* the reason I'm over, is for linux.conf.au - will there be any other nerds from AFF attending?

 

[Mal]

I'm currently in the BNE domestic lounge - will be around for another hour or so.

Other lounge trips this month:

Thu 25th Jan 6pm(?) - 9pm BNE
Mon 29th Jan 10pm-1:30am DRW domestic (Depends when it's open. Lounge may close at 12:30am. Does anyone know it's opening hours?)

 

[serfty]

The Qantas Domestic Lounge locations page simply states for Darwin:

Before Qantas
departures

I wonder if they are open for the JQ departures like the 1:50am JQ971 to BNE :?:

I suggest a call to them on (08) 8920 4664 may be in order.

Using Radioman's lead from over on FT, I have created a Calendar that everybody can use to advise the times and dates they will be in QC's. Click on this link and you'll notice it's headed AFF members Qantas Club meetings.

Everybody adds/changes and deletes their own - no moderation from me unless I'm advised that people are deleting the wrong listings (i.e. not their own).

To add one to the Calandar, click on the relevant month and then date. In the Calendar text, add in your details using the following format:

{City code, Terminal number or either Dom or Intl, J or F} QC, member name}
Times (in and out) are the start and end times (local time please).

i.e.

BNE D, 4pm - 5pm, QF WP

or

SIN I F, etc...

I don't have the time now to put all the existing times up (but I may try over the weekend). Feel free to add your own.

To make it easy to find members, I suggest that members who are looking to meet up congregate at the FT meeting places (as most will happen in Australia, I suspect).

FT Corners - SYD T3, BNE, MEL
FT Corners - ADL, CBR, SYD T2, PER
