We are staying at the Hilton on Sunday 24th May when we get back from Paihia...allowing for a late arrival and time for a refreshing shower, we plan to have dinner at Euro restaurant at 8pm. The menu is listed in the link below, and the prices are on the high side so may not be suitable for everyone...if anyone else wants to join us, please PM so we don't clog this thread up. I can book online for up to 10 people, otherwise a phone call will be needed.

While I'm looking forward to another ride in the Beechcraft 1900D and it would go well for a trip report but if there is any excitement planned on the bus ride I may change my mind. I'm currently headed back to AKL bright and early Monday.

Surprised you managed to find a B1900 flight. These days they have nearly all been replaced with Dash 8 (Q300) aircraft.

It looks like right now both the 8:35am and 3:55PM flights on May 22 are scheduled for B1900. I hope it sticks or switches before the bus is finalized. I booked refundable just in case.

Thanks for all your hard work^ Do we have time to do a Bay of Islands cruise before we take the bus back to Auckland on Sunday? A quick google search shows there is a cruise from 0900 to 1330

Thanks to the recent responses regarding the bus to and from Paihia.
At my count, I have 19 people that have not responded to whether they plan to take the bus.
Attendees who have not responded - If you could please respond either here, e-mail or PM, that would be super helpful. It's hard to finalize the coach when 41% of the attendees haven't responded and this also impacts the overall price as well.
OzFest is next month so really need to get this finalized soon.
Thanks!

Mr Falconea and I will be there and travelling on the bus both ways. We have yet to make any bookings at all - it has been one of those years!
Very much loking forward to my first visit to Kiwiland!
