Also interesting is that full fare Economy fares are also cheaper when 2 or more travel, which I'm assuming is because of the sale.

I concur that it has been a useful route for me over the years but I doubt it will be back, at least not for a long time. Flown PER-NRT and vv many times for trips to Japan, Korea, Europe and US for handy oneworld (AA & AY) connections with good journey times and relatively even flight times for...

About to leave, should be there in 10-15.

I'm not fussed where we eat. I'm getting the vibe that people want to hit up Taj Mahal and I'm happy with that. I should be good for a 6:30pm meet up in the CBD before PTing it out to the restaurant. Shall we say 6:30pm for those of us in the CBD and 7pm dinner start time? Where should we meet...

This is a final update for anyone who may have a similar problem in the future. 5 and a half weeks after my flights I've now been credited and finally made it to Gold. I managed to get the points and status credits put on my account manually by providing copies of my boarding passes and ticket...

A few more phone calls and an email later and still no luck with getting my points and SCs credited to get me to Gold before my flights starting this Saturday. This is aparently a problem with LAN flights that occured in April specifically and it's LA that is holding up the process rather than...

I've done a 40 minute connection in HEL, but it was from long haul as I was flying NRT-HEL-CDG. While the stakes weren't as high because there are several daily flights to CDG I did need to enter the Schengen zone, which meant passport control, which you won't need to do when transiting from...

Both good suggestions, but alas I've confirmed that I'll be working every day that I'm in Brisbane, including the Saturday and the Sunday. I'll only have time for leisure after work so things that can be done after dark and that are in the Brisbane, or at a stretch the greater SEQ area are my...

Sounds like a good idea and at this stage I think I can attend. We've also got Princess Fiona over in Perth 24-26 June, with drinks proposed for the evening of Saturday 26 - see this thread. I'm sure the sandgropers that aren't flying around (seems to be a few at this time of year) can manage...

I guess this is a good opportunity to do a quick summary of the plan for the Wednesday night. Wednesday 8th June 2011 Dinner and/or drinks Venue TBA - suggestions? ~6:30pm start, TBC Attending: V1213 Taezar Mal anat0l Maybe attending: V1213's work colleague I think that's it...

Not sure what time I'll be free yet. I'm hoping to have a meeting in the CBD that evening until probably 6pm at the latest, but it's not confirmed yet. I'll post on here when I've got specifics, but at this stage we can pencil in 6:30-7:00pm for dinner/drinks. I agree, not a good response so...

I'm pretty sure that the 747s are only on PER-SYD and vv., with 333s PER-MEL and vv. PER-BNE and vv. is only getting domestic 332s on 1 flight each day QF650/QF597. The wording of the promotional email is ambiguous enough to possibly imply 747s and 330s on each route, but it does not actually...

I'm wondering what timeframes people have experienced for points to post after travelling on LAN, with an LA flight number? I did the SYD-AKL-SYD status run at Easter and when the points hadn't credited after a week or so made a claim on the QF website. The website states that claims for...

Skating of any variety has never been my forte, but I'm more than happy to watch others as I enjoy the Glühwein and food. :) What/where is IM's being proposed for the AFF drinks on the Wednesday night?

Added some flights to BNE for work [see this thread for BNE drinks], so my June is now the following: Date Port Lounge Time Flight Guest spots 04JUN PER T2 QC 0500 QF480 1 free 07JUN MEL T1 QC 0515 QF775 0 free 08JUN PER T2 QC 0630 QF650 0 free 13JUN BNE DOM QC 0715...

Keeping in the alpine theme, I also see that the Banff Film Festival will also be on when I'm town. Unfortunately I don't think I can fit it into my stay, which is a pain because I annoyingly missed it over here in Perth because of scheduling conflicts as well. :( Nevertheless, I'll pencil the...

Great responses so far, with special thanks to Taezar for her comprehensiveness. At this stage the evening of the 8th sounds like a good option for some AFF drinks. I don't expect to be overly tired and in any case the time difference should assist me in this regard. I'll be travelling with a...

Looks like I'll be in Brisbane for work June 8-13 and I thought I'd come here for advice of what to do in my downtime. I'll admit here, at the outset, that I've never been sold on the whole "Brisvegas" and "Australia's new world city" stuff... Brisbane has never really excited me. I've been a...

Yeah, I know the feeling. Just waited for a plane to land so that I could schedule a transfer flight and now I'm waiting for an alliance partner's new terminal at HND to open so that I can assign my flights to it... I'm such a sucker for this :rolleyes:

Haha. If it's any consolation the game runs at real time so it does force you to wait and not play it 24/7. :lol:
