XMAS Event 2012 - planning thread

Not open for further replies.
AFF events are one of the tremendous pleasures in life for me. By the end of the evening's I have attended I have found myself in a drunken stupor, which makes any new event eagerly awaited. I get to meet the same people again and again.....but it is as if I have never met them before. mmmm perhaps not so good for those who have the misfortune to meet me...:p
 
I've made a tentative booking at HSW, pending rosters, kids, life in general I plan to attend the drinks.
Will not be on the F Lounge run

Worth consideration.

Hey Bill, sorry, do you mean HSW for a second night is worth consideration, or the night at HOP? Regardless, I'll be taking JQ3 back to SYD on Monday afternoon, so if anyone wants to join me for that....
 
Now this might be a call for Captain Obvious, but has everyone noticed that all flights (except for the JQ flight) are at brutal price levels around this Do? Had a look at both QF and DJ - both painful.

Looks like it's time to wheel out the award flights...
 
I am afraid that the OH and myself are leaving for SGN on the same day and are therefore unable to partake.

I hope everyone has a fab time. Good luck with the organising munitalP!

There are still lots of QF O class fares when I look them up from SYD!
 
Mark me down as platinum please. Staying at HSW. Looking forward to a great night.
 
Put me down as Platinum for this event. I'm now booked at HSW for Saturday 22nd December on a non-refundable fare. Sunday night is flexible.

Platinum for the JQ35 Flight on 22nd Dec (booked - at the moment looks like I'll be able to guest one)
Platinum for HSW night of 22nd Dec.
Platinum for the dinner.
Uncertain yet whether I'll book at HSW or HOP for the Sunday night (and really open to suggestions - I feel like trying HOP!)
Platinum for flight back on Mon 24th Dec on JQ35 (booked - could guest one more at the moment)

BTW, at the moment you can price match JQ35 with TT for $44.96 total, and the JQ3 flight back is only $65. A two-F-lounge run for less than $110 at Christmas!
 
If it wasn't already clear - please mark me as Platinum

I will confirm JQ35 closer to the time.
 
Righto....

The December Xmas event will be held on December 22nd 2012

Venue: Hilton Hotel, South Wharf, Melbourne @1800hrs starting in the exec lounge.

Agenda:

1800: Pre dinner drinks / Industry Speaker / Kris Kringle / Industry give away and get together in Exec Lounge
2100: Dinner - Restaurant to be confirmed (a la carte service or set menu)


I hope to see you all there (that means everyone)

I've booked my room for the evening. Look forward to seeing you all there.
 
Is anyone likely to stay on at HSW for a second night? I'm really giving serious thought to coming back on JQ3 on Mon 24th Dec at 3:45pm, but was also thinking it might be fun to try a stay at HOP on the Sunday night (rate is currently $134, or $107 if you're on the Hilton Macquarie discount). If there are a bunch of people staying on at HSW though, I'll stick with booking HSW for two nights.

Worth consideration.

Definitely worth doing, I need a little mattress run to retain Diamond for the year.

That's cool - I'm going to book HOP for the Sunday night, then. There will at least be a couple of AFF members there, then!
 
Are newbies welcome at such events? I live in Melbourne but may partake in an F Lounge run if someone could guest me (Current forecast has me back at WP in Jan '13) but would love to attend the dinner and drinks.

I'm going to be a newbie for an AFF event, so we'll be in good company.

Platinum HSW Saturday night

Staying HOP Sunday night.
