AFF Gathering #19 in ADL on 30 October - 1 November 2026

[RooFlyer]

I'm in and it's just a trip down the Freeway, no flights needed for me this year!

You aren’t aware of the rules for local attendees? You have to take a flight out to be able to fly back in for the event.

Platinum confirmed.
CR seats released for bAlt and I’ll use my Amex credit for some of the cost of mine. First time I have spoken to someone in Hobart for a very long time.

Bugger. I will be crossing the Simpson by car before heading to Adelaide for the do. Maybe if I don’t tell anyone I will get away with it.

Just nominate your last flight before the gathering event. We will all just assume you have applied your normal mantra of "why fly direct when you can connect".

Gold for me, but likely Platinum. Really enjoyed the 2025 Melbourne event. Partner will be coming this time.

For the Accor Platinum members, are we leaning towards Sofitel Adelaide due to their Club Millésime? Or is the Pullman the go? I haven't been to either, so I'm happy to be led.

EDIT - I've booked flexi for both but Pullman is currently approx 50% less than Sofitel atm but I’d like to try the Sofitel based on the good reviews of the lounge I’ve read.

Platinum confirmed +1 for Mr. Goldenhorn.
Booked with the DSC:
Arriving QF735 11:50
Departing QF 742 14:30

And flights booked with today’s dsc announcement. Used my Amex credit.

My flight home will give my LTG.

Quite fitting to get there after catching up with the group of people whose advice helped me to achieve something I didn’t ever think I would.

I'm in. Yet to discuss with MrP but he enjoyed the last one - too long ago. I've booked the Uber but no DSC apparently

I sat next to Mr. P at the dinner. I recall that I thought he wanted to talk about how to publish a book. Only for me to realise in the in the course of conversation that he’d done about 8 to my 3 . I mis heard your intro of us.

He knows all about you now. I think he's done a couple more since then. . When talking about things I've seen and read on AFF I say that's (name) from Tasmania, Drron, and (name) VPS. Coz you lot are always doing something interesting.
