AC has eliminated its award sales for the new benefits year, though promised we'd get them sporadicallyr. This is considered by AC to be yet another "improvement" to its Aeroplan program. If I do have to pay full miles [100 in J or 140 in F], I will likely try to book NH ex-JFK in F into NRT, then down to SYD via SIN on SQ, though I may have to opt for NZ ex-SIN. I would like to sample some of the more exotic STAR front cabins, but can always get a J seat on AC, even at the last minute as an SE, one benefit they have not yet removed from us. So I am still quite likely, and would certainly do the Tarmac Tour, which I missed last time I was down there.

Count me in Sat May 22 & Sun 23 (MEl-SYD return on a $115 red e-deal, but only 20 SC's)

Does the group plan to go on the Air side Tour ? Anyone making a group booking?

As you may have seen in my post on page 2 of this thread, this was my suggestion for Saturday am, to be followed by a lunch on the airport side of town. Most that have posted say they DO want to do this tour.

Those that have NOT posted their thoughts either way on this option please do so as I can then get an idea of number so that we might get (a) the discounted rate per person and (b) our own personal FT tour bus of the airport.

We will do whatever you tell us to do, as long as it is vegetarian!

The tour sounds very interesting. I know [b
Hunki[/b] would love to sail if that is an option.

This is not sailing but you would be above the sails:- Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb Price is AU$175

Things are lining up so, that I might be spending a fair amount of time in MEL this year. I can't commit yet, but I'd be up to hop over to SYD if I'm there.

I'm in NZ 1-4 times a year visiting family in Auckland (Mt. Eden to be precise). I'll probably be through there for a weekend in a couple of weeks.
