Thanks Bill and Sarah for the heads up. John.

crankychick and I are Gold for now. Will do our best to be there, but can't 100% confirm just yet!
Don't really know what our home airport code is at the moment! So for now, let's just use AKL, shall we?

GASP! AKL-ASP and AYQ-AKL on AA miles... 20k miles but $225 per person in taxes! 
Regardless, award flights for both of us now booked and on hold.

I am staying at Doubletree by Hilton on Friday 23th and Saturday 24th.
I should have paid the $19/night extra for the suite instead of the el-cheapo rooms.

Both ASP and AYQ are covered by the current "Qantas unmissable sale".
Fares are about normal for "sales" on those routes.

Or is the expectation that we would be up super early (pre-dawn) and finished all activities in time to go and check in for this flight?

Add in getting to the Do to our other travel this year, we are each going to reach 1150 SC in QF. It's almost tempting to see if I can persuade Mr Falconea to do a MR with me so we hit platinum!
It's been a bit boring dropping back to mere Silver this year.
Any MR suggestions that won't break the bank? Preferably in J? Already factored MEL-SYD-ASP.
