Well after stating I was platinum a few months ago, I thought I had better book some flights:

May 23 MEL-ADL QF675
May 23 ADL-ASP QF723
May 25 ASP-SYD QF791*
May 25 SYD-MEL QF451

I am arriving in ASP at 1205. Am I able to get a seat on the transfer bus to the DT as ozbeachbabe has listed in Friday's events?

I would like to participate in Friday and Saturday's events, including the dinners. Is there a payment page?

Gosh, all these questions from a FT newbie!

I am booked into the ASP DT 23-25 May.

*Share a cab to the airport JohnK?

Hi JessicaTam,

We are on the same flight from Adelaide to Alice on 23 May, and are staying at DT also.

Looking forward to catching up again

No payment page as yet. Last year a page on www.trybooking.com was set up. But we need a volunteer to set up & manage.
OzBeachbabe is still working on activities & costs. Will be linked in post 6
Flights is post 10

All these questions from a FT newbie, but on AFF a frequent poster & frequent attendee of social events ^

Thanks heaps for the offer, we are fine this time. We are flying in from SYD and arrive at exactly the same time? Maybe landing in tandem parallel? Will catch up in the QP

Unfortunately, J availability was gone before we got to it for the two of us - been looking for about a month hoping some more opens up

I booked my flights to ASP a couple of months ago. There was still good availability home on the 25th when I booked that this week.

Shudder Not many Aussie FTer's will admit to flying TT. Hope it all goes well for you. Check carefully all the ticket t&c's particularly carry on and checked baggage

You will be first into Alice ^

Ah well, it's only a 3 hr flight. I'm low-maintenance, have low expectations and carry a standard sized backpack.

Do I win a prize for 'first to arrive'?

And will we see you in ASP/AYQ?

Don't worry Boxo, you aren't alone. I was looking to book QF790 on 5/23 but no award availability...it said there was but when I logged into my account, it went away. I was looking at TT292 for a while and wasn't sure...but after seeing the 30% sale I pulled the trigger and now I'm on that flight as well. I wanted the extra legroom and the total was quite reasonable even after the premium seat fee. Feel free to mark me down as Platinum on the list instead of gold!
