It seems the number of people on QF175 might be quite substantial soon. In case we are more than 15 people maybe we should also talk to the QF SYD F lounge management about this since we would be taking up almost the entire breakfast section.
Does anyone have a relevant contact for this?

Depending on GoldFlyer who is not committing to what flight he is on.

My count for QF175 is 8 (*s are WP):
DownUnderFlyer*, Aus_Mal*, littl_flier, BundyBear, OzTraveller*, Skoogle, moa999*, futaris

(futaris connecting from 0830 arrival at T3 so may struggle to make the QP)

So at this point don't think numbers are ridicuously large although agree that any increase in numbers may begin to cause some issues.

NB, I'm going to have to put myself down as Silver at this stage. I'm still toying with the idea of doing a day-turnaround as a QFF award and have other things that weekend.

Alright, I didn't realize people were so anxious to find out if I was on the same flight as them but then perhaps you are all a little anxious sharing a plane with me .

I am booked on QF175 and upgraded to J through a friend in travel . Flying back on 553 on points. Now I hope you have flexible tickets those nervous ones out there .

Just don't mention the election if you're up for a change - air rage may ensue .

A sweeping statement if ever I've heard one!

I subscribe to the Quentin Crisp theory of:
There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.
So I guess that takes sweeping out of the equation - although you are welcome to pop around and do a bit of hoovering whilst I'm away .

I guess that depends upon where your 'In Exile' has you located.

Well, if you are a true FT member, then a MR would be a welcome prospect regardless of my location .

True, however one RTW pa is my current limit and I've done one this year.
You'll have to wait until next year!

Nah, I'll be voting early as I'll be in WLG that Saturday. My only comment about elections is how to save the Federal government money by never giving one's primary vote to any candidate/party that's likely to get more than 4% of said primary votes. Thereby depriving the more popular candidates/parties of a piece of the slush fund they have anointed upon themselves.

Good points serfty. We must not lose sight of the fact that they are ALL just politicians after all!

Just wait until you also keep status with the Dark Side (or even get it through status match) - in the event that you leave OW. That'll enforce the rule of multiple RTWs each year.
