Rockpool Bar and Grill Lunch with QFF confirmed attendees

[simongr]

It was an upgradable ticket, so neither.

I don't understand - it has to be either an OpUp or a points upgrade given that it was not a J fare originally.

 

[Red Roo]

Sorry to hear you are unwell.
I have just placed a call to another lucky AFF member who will be joining us for lunch.
Rest up and get well soon.

I suggest $$$'s.

Major train delays for me in Sydney this morning - not sure I will be there on time at this rate....

I just came in on the airport train and beside being packed they seemed to be running ok.

 

[simongr]

They aren't running well on [insert trainlines that simongr travels on which are not the airport line].

It was definitely packed more than normal. Also town hall station was strangely quiet. So definitely something going on, hopefully airport line is unaffected.

Just got picked up through Uber and taking a small detour on the way in - don't know what happened to those arriving last night, but my experience was very smooth.

I heard that all northern lines were cancelled due to power issues and major delays elsewhere.

I suspect there were no über cars available last night.

I'm on the 08.04 from Newcastle and its going through the North Shore as there is an electrical failure between Hornsby and Epping. Train is running a little late but I built in some window shopping time before lunch

We touched down, now taxiing to gate.

 

[awilcockson]

I suggest $$$'s.

Nope. 5k points.

 

[serfty]

Hmmm ...

It was an upgradable ticket, so neither.

Confused?

Seems to have gotten worse as the delayed trains in one part of the network delay the rest of the network.

JohnK and I are on our way in. Uber car was uber easy to organise.

 

[DeKa]

Is Uber supposed to call me after I request a car? Time has said five minutes for the last 8 minutes and taxi line growing by the second.

No. Just book and look for the number plate of the car. If you want, you can call the driver.

 

[JohnK]

Entirely understandable, IMO. Like choosing the dessert we want at the meal. It might be a freebie, but we all have our preferences.

Has Rockpool put up the map for the table seating yet? Is there a lie-flat mode?

I should be grateful i was chosen to attend and should not have worried about seating allocations on the flight and just taken any seat.

By the same token it is no ones business what i am concerned about. Judging me for having a preference achieves nothing.

And FWIW I ended up in 9C and that was one of my worst flights in recent memory. That should make some of the people in this thread very happy.

No. Just book and look for the number plate of the car. If you want, you can call the driver.

Like I said. I received no number plate to look for. There was no tel number to call the driver. I received nothing other than a message at the bottom which said how many minutes to wait. But that time kept increasing.
