There's a 42 seater coach so plenty of room for everyone. QF796 from MEL arrives first at 1110, then QF723 from ADL at 1200 & QF790 from SYD at 1220.
Just use this link which was the same one you used to pay for the other activities & select the airport transfer option for AUD9.70 plus the $0.30c booking fee charged by the trybooking site.

Noted Chchkiwi. There's a café there with plenty of power points if you need to charge your appliances while you're waiting but the free Wi-Fi is a bit hit & miss.

I'd suggest communication between Ozbeachbabe and fifa and try to get it all onto just the one bus....
Does anyone know if there's any chance of checking in at Doubletree? I fear not. What do we do with our bags if not?

That's the plan Stan!
We'll head from the airport to the Double Tree so people can checkin & drop their luggage in their room. If the rooms aren't ready concierge can store the luggage until we return from dinner.

You're on the list too Penegal.

You're signed up Efrem.

fifa having negotiated a $10 pp rate. ^
In retrospect I was remiss in not posting this back to the entire group but my intent was not to clutter the thread with minutiae about our specific transfer arrangements.
I hope the coach company acknowledges the double booking so that nobody is out of pocket. The good news is that as long as QF790 is on time those of us arriving May 23 won't be delaying the afternoon's schedule.
Thanks again to
ozbeachbabe for attending to this in the middle of everything else. ^
Thanks Fredd - everything is sorted & there are no cancellation fees on Fifa's booking. I have been in touch with her via pm & she'll cancel her booking direct with Alice Wanderer Tours who confirmed there are no cancellation penalties as payment was going to be made on 23 May.
CDKing they will also refund in full the booking you made direct with them so you can pay via Ozfest link:
