Farewell QF 81/82 run SYD-ADL-SYD [Sat 13 -Sun 14 April]

[JohnK]

Please nobody mention international liquids rules and HLO to George. Oh the shame of a checked bag.

There is nothing wrong with checked bags.

Oh, the extra 5-10 minutes wait for checked luggage must be the killer....

It was International JK and Adelaide doesn't do international well.

We are all ensconced at our hotels resting up before the next part of the weekend.

The crew on the flight were sad that this leg is ending. There are changes to rosters as well as the loss of status pax to SQ. the lounge is already noticing a drop. One of our group mentioned that they half expected SQ to be at the gate to welcome us as they go from strength to strength.

It is a bit hard to maintain loyalty if there are no products to be loyal to.

Great day thanks Jess, I bet the bus ride was good fun...

 

[gwilli1]

Let me just go put my sunglasses on ;-P

Luxury... 23K... Maybe Not

 

[JessicaTam]

We will be meeting again in the Hilton exec lounge from 5:45 until about 6:50 when we shall meet in the lobby before walking to Wah Hing Restaurant. The address is 85 Gouger St for the latecomers.

And after the restaurant , this is where we will be . Party time in Ewing's suite ;-)

Ok, so it's a junior suite (not a real suite) but this will do.

Mrs Major here just saying thanks to all concerned re organising this weekend - I'll be on board for the next run (whenever) I hope! Great company - see you all at dinner tonight!!

 

[JohnK]

So 15 minutes?

 

[Pushka]

So 15 minutes?

You really need to experience Adelaide international. Tiny arrival hall. No space once the passengers filter through.

No delays here. George and I enjoyed eggs Benedict for breakfast and have now snagged spa appointments. Will join the AFF group shortly.

Please nobody mention international liquids rules and HLO to George. Oh the shame of a checked bag.

Anna, nice to meet you...finally...

Sadly no Q into asia, but SQ twice a day makes up for that.... (sends pm to cove to get the rub on krisflyer earning credit cards.. .)

No photos in custom hall please.....

Aff Members excluded ...

And just imagine how much extra time you would have had if I was there!

Red is always best.

And just imagine how much extra time you would have had if I was there!

When the flight was delayed 10 minutes I did wonder if you had chosen to join us.

 

[JessicaTam]

Have a great night everyone. I am sorry I didnt make it but there was some final dramas with a wedding today and needed to get that sorted. Thanks Princess K and Jess too!

I am sorry you didn't make it too. Oh well, next time I am in the ADL QP drinks are on me.

Apologies for not saying goodbye and missing the photo but I saw va226 was running late so sprinted through customs and to the virgin lounge.
Despite being told the plane had closed my dykia moment (I'm plat and flying business) ensured a radio call to gate and I am know enjoying a mocktail....

Wishing all a great night

Thanks Jess for organising a rousing send off for QF81.

Great work to all those that attended and contributed to the events!

Thanks Jessica for arranging this, I have had a blast,now enjoying the smaller VA lounge.

Wishing all an enjoyable dinner and dispersion tomorrow.

See you all next time ...

Thanks for coming along. Doing crazy things on a whim as what AFF is all about, I reckon.

 

[JessicaTam]

I have just got to the lounge and there are people in "our" area! Anyone who would like to wander down early would be welcome to help me 'spread out' :idea:

Edit: or up of course!

 

[smdoherty]

We will just have to be loud and obnoxious and they may go away!
