I can finally reveal that Qantas has offered us an exclusive opportunity to tour parts of HQ. Because of operational sensitivities, one area being toured can only be announced to the attendees on the day - safe to say that it isn't included in any normal tours of QF HQ.
We’re limited to 2 groups, each of 10 members. Each group will participate in 2 back to back sub-tours that run for 30 mins each. At all times, up to and including during the tours, we must follow the directions of the QF tour leaders. There is also the chance that in the event of unforeseen operational requirements beyond Qantas’s control, the tour may need to be cut short or cancelled.
While you’re welcome to ask questions along the way, there will be a joint Q&A session at the end of the tour. I am sure there will be many common queries, and this would give us a chance to share the knowledge within the group. For those who cannot attend, perhaps collate your questions for the lucky tour group members to ask on your behalf. As always Qantas will do their best to answer, however may need to come back to us for the ones that require follow up.

I know this will be disappointing to those that registered and now may not be in the top 21 (me + 20) and cannot attend, however I was unable to say very much before now due to the ongoing discussions and commercial sensitivities.
The numbers of attendees agreed to by QF were out of my control and there was no bargaining. Please also note that two QF staff who are our tour guides on the day are doing this on their own time. There was a lot of work organising this behind the scenes, in particular by one of these staff members and the tour has come about because of her persistence. We will always be indebted to her for this opportunity.

I’m in. I better arrange some flights and accommodation I guess!
*edit*
Isn't it mightily convenient when your business requirements co-incide with AGM's?
Flights booked, Accommodation care of my business partner!

Will there be any organised chaos for those of us not on the tour?

I recall my 1st AGMs consisted of lunch at the Breakfast Creek hotel, then we would head to the QF Club for drinks & nibbles. Maybe dinner later, or not. It's only been relatively recently that I know of that there have even been tours 😀
