There is a flight that goes SYD-BNE-MNL, once a week, I think it is a Thursday that leaves from SYD international. Therefore you can access the F lounge.

You have to carry ID but it is a great flight to take to get to BNE. I've never done it but a friend of mine avails himself of it as often as possible.

Duf, thedocta,
Was an F Lounge run to MEL
About 20 of us dallied in the far end of the lounge to watch an SQ A380 bird takeoff
Then had the long walk/jog out to the 50s pier.

Definitely a flight to BNE, it was back in the days when BNE-LAX wasn't daily, so they had to operate a positioning flight from SYD.

Was it not a bunch of FT people travelling up to BNE for an AGM a few years ago?

Indeed it was! First AGM for me. It may be that this flight and the one moa999 recalls were two completely different occasions, but on this occasion about 16 FTers converged on the SYD F lounge for breakfast then, with a little coaxing and personalised invitations over the PA, eventually boarded QFwhatever (19?) for the flight to BNE.

It was QF175 a tag flight SYD-BNE. 20 Fters flew it to BNE after a champagne breakfast.

The SQ380 was one of less than f4 (IIRC) operating at the time - QF were yet to receive Nancy Bird.
