Unoffical Wake for WP Anytime Access, Jan 29 2011

I still believe the easiest way to avoid glass size issues is to simply order jugs!

In the QP the glasses come in a "one size fits all" size.

Couldn't have said it better myself

The only issue is a lot of places don't do jugs of the good stuff, just draught/VB/other excuses for beers.

Still, considering the SYD J lounge @ T1 has beer on-tap, and it's a discussion about lounge parties, I feel the size of glass conversation is entirely relevant. We don't want our comrades from Melbourne drinking pots when they're middies in NSW

 

[Lawlass]

I really really really really really wish I hadn't started this stupid drift.

Anyway, I'm just going to order stubbies.

Not sure if anyone is still looking at staying the night but the HI still has reward nights, at USD$90 worth of points (15K) its not bad value.

Well, I have a unexpected need to be in Brisbane this friday, and I've decided to return on Saturday via SYD with F lounge visit. So I'll be an early starter on the Wake, 2 weeks early.

Exactly. However, I'm told it doesn't work in some of the United States where they require more than one person if ordering a jug.

Ok, I'm booked:

Fri Jan 28 CBR-SYD DJ 661 @ 1700
Sat Jan 29 SYD-MEL JQ 35 @ 1515
Sat Jan 29 MEL-CBR QF 822 @ 1900

For those of you thinking of flying StarClass but who are yet to book, you basically have your pick of the cabin except for my seat

Qantas already knows our plans (Hi Qantas staffers! ), and will be "ready" with their planned strategy.

Say hi to Red Roo:

I do hope QF operate QF822 at 1900 as scheduled, I dont like your chances of making it based on your timings.

Whoops - fixed

I may end up spending the night in MEL anyway - just not sure yet. Until then I am on the last flight of the day back home

Here’s a question to attendees, for those not in StarClass, who has selected seats? Has everyone paid and chosen, or are you just going to hope for the best at checkin? I was looking at my booking and briefly considered paying for a seat selection, but am just hoping to arrive really early, be first served and get a great seat! :-|

 

[FuzzyAUS]

Were just rocking up on the day... Seat selection would be nice, but wasn't in the sprit of the day I felt.. So went the lowest fare..

This

Absolutely. And I figure I'll be at check in when it open so I should be able to snag a reasonable seat.

 

[Mal]

Meh @ seat. I'm sure I can get them to assign me an aisle seat that is appropriate.

 

[Lawlass]

Uh, you and 29 others! :mrgreen:

 

[munitalP]

Uh, you and 29 others! :mrgreen:

I assigned my seat and my mates - I'll be there T-3 hrs, #1 in the line

 

[Mal]

Uh, you and 29 others! :mrgreen:

Hehe. I actually priced out an upgrade to *C as I wanted to wave at all of the Economy flyers as they queue up... If JQ didn't want a $40 change fee, I would have been more keen. (If I wanted to go to *C, then throwing away my ticket and buying a new one with the full flexibility would be a better option).

BTW, JQ Lite is now $79. I'm sure there are still Tiger Price match type deals available

Asking for a pot in Melbourne has always got me something much smaller than I would expect of a schooner. Closer to something that in Perth would be called a middy.

And in my experience some places in Victoria do not have schooner glasses, only pints and half-pints.

Not all jugs are created equal.

I wonder if Red Roo can pull a few strings and get them to push a couple of tables together in the restaraunt and put reserved signs on them for us? I mean we have at least on CL member (hopefully) and a large gaggle of WPs in attendance

Which reminds me, as a CL bossreggie should be able to line up in the StarClass line regardless of what he flies, though I’d guess he’d be flying StarClass if he joins us. So maybe a few could line up with him
