OK, the BRT is over - so where is Freddie now? Is he still with B&B'sMama?

Where's he headed next?

He'll be with BBM until CowDo and then someone is taking him to Salzburg.

That's an awfully long layover -- about two months! :eek:

Beijing'sMama Jul 4, 2008 10:26 am

Yes, well in the interim he's headed to CPT, via LHR, then onto MBA, where I don't think he's been before, flying kulula air which I feel certain he has not flown before. I plan to get him a tag to mark the occasion!

A day in JNB, back to CPT for a few days then returning to PHX via FRA flying F on LH. Home for A DAY; off to VVI for a week prior to Cow Do, then to EZE on Aero Sur. Phew!

Sounds like it will be a busy 2 months for him!

Thanks! :)

I never miss the opportunity to catch up with Alex. He is my favorite nice young man in the WHOLE WORLD!

Also, I'm using one of your coupons to spread the taste sensation of Cholula Sauce to South Africa. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Freddie's handoff didn't go quite as planned - instead of SZG he is currently in CHC for the Kiwi Mainland DO Two.

The flight map has a few interesting new additions like VVI, MBA and IGR.

Any requests for where he should go next?

chchkiwi Sep 18, 2008 5:04 am

Alex -

I will have him in CHC until early October when I will be returning to Los Angeles. Unless someone here wants to take him, it will be easier to hand him over in LA. Freddie and I have our fingers crossed for our upgrade to clear on the SYD-LAX segment. Freddie doesn't want to sit in 39G!

Slight change of plan on Freddie Jnr;

Freddie Jnr is in Brisbane

21 Sept 08 CHC-SYD EK413 28F 340-500 A6-ERH
21 Sept 08 SYD-BNE QF556 7A 737-800 VH-VYE

All economy; I got some interesting photos which I will link to later.

Any plans on which major Dos Freddie Jnr needs to attend next.

BOO DOO in Sevilla end of October.

airoli Sep 23, 2008 4:24 am

Freddie would probably also enjoy some Glühwein and cookies at the FRA Advents Do in December...

Bundy Bear Sep 24, 2008 7:25 am

So what has Freddie Jnr been up too;

Waiting for his Emirates flight at Christchurch International Airport

On the Emirates flight to Sydney.

Waiting in the Qantas lounge for the flight to Brisbane.

Qantas brought out a new 737-800 with new fabrics for our flight up to Brisbane.

Catching up on a bit of FT with a drink after a hard day at the office.

SanDiego1K Sep 24, 2008 10:20 am

Great pictures, Bundy Bear. I particularly like the one of him catching on up FT.

ErthCrclr Sep 24, 2008 3:46 pm

And I wouldn't mind a shot or two of that Bundaberg myself. :cool:

I just looked at the map and it doesn't show ARN as one of the stops.
Can we look at fixing that lack?

I'm scheduled for leaving ARN on the 28th of this month and returning the 7th (from EWR on the 6th) and out again sometime in early to mid-January.

Bundy Bear Nov 9, 2008 12:53 am

A SC run and a quick trip....
 
Next up on the adventures of Freddie Jr:
  • A QF SC (status credit) run, Jan 17-18 (BNE-MEL-ADL-SYD-CBR-back the same way)
  • A quick trip to Japan and NZ, Jan 22-Feb 1 (BNE-SYD-(OOL)-KIX-(OOL)-SYD-AKL-WLG-AKL-SYD-BNE)
  • (Pending) A cross-country trip for work, followed by a SYD F Lounge run, Feb 8-15 (BNE-PER-SYD-MEL-BNE)
Flight details and photos will be posted in due course - so stay tuned, sports fans!

P.S. I think Freddie Jr should be needing a new or repaired suit (read: little suitcase) soon...he is starting to show his age on his sleeves!

serfty Jan 18, 2009 5:11 am

Freddy needs to get to FLL for the Freddies Awards in April.

I will be at the 7th Annual Oz FT AGM in Brisbane in February where I can pick up Freddie from his current Oz based layover.

Two weeks later I will be in the USA (March 6/7/8) and I will be able to hand the little fella over to someone who can get him to the Freddies. I will be in SFO and ATL.

Is there anyone I can handover to on those dates who can ensure they can get Freddy to the award ceremony?

I've been a little lazy in this regard, but Freddie's Flight Memory is now back up to date.

Thanks Bundy Bear and anat0l for your efforts!

And since it's now on the previous page, I thought I would give serfty's post some additional exposure:

Note that Star Cls refers to Jetstar Airways's Star Class premium cabin. It's more like Premium Economy rather than Business, even though it credits as Business under Qantas Frequent Flyer program. Since Flight Memory has no Premium Economy option, I'll let you decide how to classify this one.

Also notice that both Japan flights are operated by Jetstar (JQ), and travel via OOL.

Trip Report to be written up soon. You'll be able to view pictures of Freddie's adventures there.... Hopefully I'll start writing the TR soon, except I have so much on in the next week...... :(

I'm in FLL and will probably be hosting some folks who can bring Jr. to the Freddies, so if you can find a FTer to bring him from SFO or ATL to FLL, I would be willing to pick her/him and it up at the airport and maybe even bring them all out for lunch or dinner?

Let me know if I can help out...

Freddie and anat0l FLounge...then part ways...
 
Freddie went with me to Perth for a student symposium; five days of hot weather, which was thankfully a bit cooler in Pinjarra and moderately tolerable on account of the heat being dry (not humid, unlike Brisbane).

Code:

Date  Flight  Sector  Dep    Arr    Class    Aircraft  Rego    A/C Name    Seat/Type 
08FEB  QF651  BNE-PER 0905  1325  Economy  B737-800  VH-VXL  Charleville  13C aisle
13FEB  QF566  PER-SYD 1615  2225  Economy  A330-300  VH-QPC  Broken Hill  46G aisle
14FEB  JQ35    SYD-MEL 1515  1645  Economy  A330-200  VH-EBD              40B aisle

Freddie joined Skoogle, flashware, Bundy Bear and myself on 14 February to experience the Qantas First Class Lounge in SYD T1. Pictures hopefully coming soon to a TR near you (will depend on how my workload pans out; Bundy Bear also has pictures).

When we arrived at MEL, the FLoungers met with Itsalongwaydown+1, who were travelling to SYD before going onto NZ for a much deserved break. At the risk of Freddie being over NZ'ed, he's now in the safe hands of Itsalongwaydown, only to be back in Australia (BNE) in time for the FT AGM. So it was at the MEL Qantas Domestic Business Lounge that Freddie and I parted ways.

EDIT: Trip report for this sortie with Freddie Jr can be found here.

Itsalongwaydown Feb 15, 2009 1:06 am

This will be short and sweet due my limited internet access.

Freddie Jnr arrived safely in AKL with us this afternoon. Tomorrow he will travel to Queenstown and then by car to Wanaka for a few days. The reverse trip will occur on Thursday.
Saturday I'll deliver Freddie to serfty in BNE.

More details when I have morew internet time. :D

alex0683de Feb 15, 2009 11:42 am

Thanks, anat0l!

I've added the flights you took with Freddie to the flight map. You certainly managed to fill out some blank spots around Oz!

Looking at the map, I'm again finding it hard to believe that Freddie never found his way to the likes of Seattle or Portland. Or does anyone remember him having been there?

scoow Feb 15, 2009 11:49 am

Any chance of getting him to Alaska for the mid-March "Spring Break" trip? That would fill-in another blank spot on the map.

And yes we have pictures.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...nge-sydney.jpg

First stop the Qantas J Lounge in Sydney; seems like Freddie was eager for a drink but the bar wasn't going to be open for another 30 minutes and we had another more important lounge to take a look at.

The Qantas F Lounge in Sydney.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...nge-sydney.jpg

Thanks to Anat0l, Skoogle, Flashware in guesting me and Freddie Jr into the F lounge in Sydney.

After our Jetstar International flight to Melbourne we headed off to the Qantas J Lounge in Melbourne.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/membe...-melbourne.jpg

In the picture we have: Anat0l; Skoogle; Itsalongwaydown; Bundy Bear, Second Row; Sue In Oz holding Freddie Jr and Flashware.

So where to next for Freddie.

Who is going to the Freddie awards in FLL. Serfty is heading over to the USA in a week or Skoogle so either one of them can get Freddie back to the US in time for the Freddie Awards.(Who chose the East Coast)

Any takers for a hand over to get Freddie to the Freddie Awards.

serfty Feb 17, 2009 2:57 pm

I'll pick up Freddy in BNE on Saturday.

He will then be in SFO on the 6th - 9th March.

It would be easiest if I can leave him there, however I'm doing an MR and DFW, LAX and ATL are all good possibilities for handover.

If any are around these places of that weekend and can help (note wendyhamburger's kind offer), please post. :)

If all else fails, there's Fed-ex ... :eek:

flashware Feb 17, 2009 8:15 pm

That's me in the green shirt! :D

... no it is not and I fully agree!

I first made the offer to transport a month ago.

Surely there is someone who can assist getting jr from the west LAX/SFO/ATL/DFW to FLL... :)

Skoogle Feb 18, 2009 2:23 am

I made an offer for Freddie Jr to join my world tour, starting on Monday and end where ever he needs to be on 10-March.

P.S. Includes 5 days in Seattle.

serfty Feb 18, 2009 4:25 am

Sweet ... so as long as you can pick 'im up on Saturday and deliver to East coast USA in time for the Freddies that's cool ... :cool:
