Singapore F1 Grand Prix - interested?

[munitalP]

There is a FLounge in BNE. Its just not anywhere near the same standard at the SYD and MEL FLounges.

Im sorry my learned friend ( ), there is a QP First Class lounge in BNE, not a Flounge:shock: - LOL

I usually refer to it is an Emerald Lounge as there are no OneWorld First Class passengers out of BNE.

True, and from memory, its quite ordinary....

A Claustrophobic version of the J Lounge for "elites"

Can anyone offer a good KL hotel suggestion?

We will have 2 shopoholics with us (the boys will follow where led), they will want to be closer to markets than say Versace...

I have looked at the KL Novotel... has anyone stayed there?

Mr!

have not stayed at Novotel. I have stayed at Hilton (Sentral and PJ), Renaissance, Crowne Plaza and Pacific Regency. Out of those, the best located for each transport and access to shopping etc is the Crowne Plaza with Renaissance a close second.

CP is an easy walk to Bukit Bintang shopping areas. It also has a Monorail station right outside. Renaissance is very close to both Monorail and MRT station and an easy walk to KLCC. I believe Novotel is close to CP so location should be good.

I hope a few AFF members will get up there! Alanslegal - drinks for sure!

Mr!

Sounds good mate, either Friday 24 or Saturday 25 would be ideal. Freshly cooked Singapore Chilli Crab washed down with free-flow Tiger Beer

I'm currently booked as follows, part of my ONE4 to be parked in DPS,

23/9 SYD-SIN QF31
27/9 SIN-NRT JL712
2/10 NRT-DPS JL729
DPS-SIN-SYD TBC

 

[munitalP]

There's a seafood restaurant at Clarke Quay, about the third in from the Novotel end which does insane chilli crab - the only problem with free flowing tigers is the $12 a bottle!

Down the river 1/2km is Robinson Quay, there used to be a Portuguese restaurant there that sold Heineken and Tiger at about $3.5 (from memory) a bottle as long as you sat outside with no service - lucky for us (me & Mrs munitalP) they had a small bar facing the street with bar stools - didn't have to move to far for no service

Its a good place to get a few in before attacking the Quay for dinner IMHO

we are travelling via BNE to meet up with friends who are also travelling - hmmmm, just dawned on me, no Flounge

Slaps head - why didnt you make them fly via SYD or MEL?

 

[NM]

What! And let them earn the extra SCs instead :shock:

Out of my good conscience, it wouldn't have worked anyway, they are both NB, so out of the 4 of us, me WP, Mrs munitalP PG and 2 NB - we would be in the business lounge not the Flounge

But wait - maybe a well worded letter to qantas will get them to open a Flounge!

Was planning to do SIN GP on my way back from Europe, but can't justify the extra cost. I will however be attending the Monza GP before heading off to Vienna for the Waltz Do (which I hope involves no waltzing :shock

 

[munitalP]

12 weeks out.

Our itinerary changed slightly, Mrs munitalP and I are now MEL/SIN/BNE/MEL with a side trip to KL overnight.

We will be at the Novotel Clarke Quay Sept 23 to 27, then Novotel KL 27 to 28

Due to the start time of the F1 GP, I will be able to catch the AFL grand final (Demons vs Tigers ) before decanting myself to the F1 track.

We purchased from the SIN F1 website 3 day tickets ($600 each or there about) which I am expecting to arrive by courier any day now

We are flying Jetstar Asia from SIN to KL return and the girls will be cramming as much shopping into 2 days as humanly possible being aware of excess luggage back to SIN.

Couple of questions...

1. A SIN bar that may be playing the AFL Grand Final - any suggestions? Im thinking of the sports bar at Robinson Quay but am unsure
2. Obviously anyone who would like to meet up either for the GP or the AFL is welcome (statement not question)
3. Shopping in KL. The obvious stuff like lady's clothes etc will be easily worked out (any mall with a Versace sign out front ), but I want to have a look through a few markets if possible - usual stuff, software, shoes, leather etc... Any suggestions?
