Thanks to the two Daes for their advice however my reading of this thread has everyone arriving somewhat later than I am (ie: >1700) so while there may be plenty of Golds and Plats in the lounge, there might not be any FTers!

Anyway, given the new b**stard changes and whatnot I think this is the best use of my guest pass - I shall consume several HP's before the bulk of you arrive, so my aggrevation level will be somewhat dimmed by cool HP goodness courtesy of uncle scrooge mcDixon & Co. ie: I don't see myself flying too many more QF trips - what's the point? I might as well stick to Star (and there are other reasons that will see a real lack of travel for me in the near future).

So unless I know there will be someone there I don't mind using my stinkin pass to get in when I arrive at SYD (Besides, someone has to try and grab the FT corner before some no hoper legitimate business flyers show up and grab it during the peak! )

And oh yeah, I'm washing the Star polo tonight! Now, where's my AN badges?
