Likewise interested, but will probably run with the 'minimalist cost' (WLG-CHC-ZQN) version given other upcoming travel and stuff ...

Thanks Will, TK

Very interested (x2) assuming our relocation to NZ is for real before that. Otherwise the 21+ hours of flying o/w can be a show stopper..

Very interested. Will need to confirm some work related things but should be ok.

How so?

I'm thinking of coming along and I'd fly from LHR

At this stage we're looking at a 733, pending numbers.

All flights will now be on scheduled 733 services.

Unfortunately the price for the charter will be the same regardless of if you do both legs or not - for the simple fact that you're still takin' up the seat on the first leg!

But if the events are timed correctly there may be commercial flight options open to you at similar timings.

You can do as many or as few of the scheduled group services as you like - see post #4 for details.

Please don't put temptations such as this in front of an addict.

Just do it. You can go to rehab later.

Tough call for me, but unless something unexpected happens, I'll need to simply state:
  • "Enjoy Yourselves!"

My my my, aren't we ambitious??

I think you just want to be able to fly in a BP seat around LOTLWC

At 133 pax for a full 733, I would wager even that is ambitious enough, unless you can rally in some numbers from the other side of the world (who might be too tired and broke from SMD2).

Rehab is for Quitters!

I'm investigating award seats right now from NYC. I think I found JFK-ICN-SYD-AKL to get me there; working on getting home now.

Landing in ZQN is hard enough without trying to do it in a 777

My thoughts too, and an FT do with a long bus ride from CHC or IVC doesn't appeal.
