The LRE Outback Do [29 APR - 1 MAY 2016]

[JessicaTam]

My leave has been approved! *happy dance*

Planning for the mobile exec lounge can now proceed. I have a few DF spirits I have collected over the years, as well as some pesky chardonnays that I have somehow accumulated. I will get soft drinks/beer in LRE. Any special requests?

I have investigated a space big enough for a group such as ours, and I am thinking of a deluxe villa at the Longreach Caravan Park. They are two bedroom and are $150/night. If I go with that option, there will be a spare bedroom with two single beds - anyone interested in sharing?

Gosh that was quick. Someone has already asked for the second room in the cabin that I haven't booked yet.

You have to be quicker than that - see post 121. And then talk to each other!

That room is going to be seriously crowded...

I am hoping there might be a second cabin.

That would be me... Thanks Jess!

Re: Attendees

For those that missed out on the last sale, flights to LRE are once again on sale... although availability on the Friday and Sunday is understandably less than it once was, so to get the best prices you'll have to arrive earlier and leave later. There's also the possibility of arriving on the Saturday.

Re: Attendees

After discussions with samh004 I am confirming my attendance as platinum for this Do.

My plan at this stage is to fly form HBA to OOL on the Thursday and then travel to BNE for the flight to LRE on the Friday and pretty much the same in reverse on Friday. Had a quick look at accommodation but it shouldn't be a hard choice . Will most likely end up booking some sort of multiple bedroom cabin etc and am happy to offer any extra rooms to others.

Re: Attendees

With Josh now booked, the numbers have risen slightly to 24 attendees.

Re: Attendees

I just received a (dreaded?) email notification from QF Customer Services that "Your flight has changed". I looked at the details of the "Old Flight" and the "New Flight" set out in the email but they were both the same. Wonder what has changed?

Same here, flights are identical as well.

I've just checked the original e-ticket and STD has been brought forward from 7:55 to 7:50 (STA remains unchanged) so it looks like the old and new flight details on the email notification may be displaying the wrong fields (both showing as the new STD).

Re: Attendees

That's not good, surely you've given enough notice!

I'm not happy about it at all :evil: But at least on some sort of positive note AFF10 is confirmed!

Re: Attendees

I've booked a Deluxe Outback Lodge at Kinnon & Co for the Friday and Saturday nights at $150 per night. It has two bedrooms; one has a queen bed and the other has two single beds. I am looking to share if anyone is interested. I'm happy to take one of the single beds or the queen.
