Save the date! The 2025 AFF annual member gathering will be in Melbourne from 21-23 November 2025.

There will be a welcome dinner on Friday evening, a more formal dinner with two fantastic guest speakers on Saturday evening, and optional activities throughout Saturday and Sunday.

All AFF members and their friends & family are welcome to attend. Most people usually fly into the host city on Friday afternoon, and leave on Sunday afternoon/evening. Of course, if you're a Melbourne local, the flying part is optional. ;)

You can read more about the planned activities, dinner venues and costs and post #2 of this thread.

There will be a $5 registration fee per participant, plus the cost of any activities and/or meals that you choose to join.

If you'd like to attend, and haven't already done so, please complete the registration form by clicking on the link below. Once you've done this, please also post your flight/hotel details in this thread!

For those unfamiliar with the AFF terminology:
  • "Platinum" means your attendance is confirmed and you have booked flights/accommodation
  • "Gold" means you're likely to attend but will need to confirm at a later time
  • "Silver" means you're unlikely to attend at this stage
  • "Bronze" means you're unable to attend.
The entire AFF team looks forward to seeing you in November in Melbourne! :D


Registrations have now closed.

QF1299 departed CFS ontime but the "hot and delicious" quiche was stone cold. Well done to the crew who put them back in the oven for a second try!

In seat 10A on the A220 right beside the engine. Bloody hell; don't ever try to tell me a Q400 is noisy.

At least the grenache is OK. Time for a refill but where is the crew?

1 hour 10 into the flight and our Cpt has finally eased back on the power; I can actually hear myself think for the first time and I managed to get a refill. Things are looking up.

Whereabouts, coming out of Qantas arrivals? Total clown show here at HBA. I’m going to be late.
I think it's turn left as you exit T1.
