<slightly OT, unless FL brainstorming can be regarded as thinking up part of the AGM's activities... />
So for the FL adventurous, seems there are two options:
Gee...I can see it now... (mentally delete the "Originally" from the box below, pretend this is a future post...)
EDIT: OK strictly speaking there are > 2 options....but there are 2 big ones for now.....
- SYD-OOL on JQ. Cheaper (and "faster") than the other option, but need to get to BNE from OOL, plus no points or SC for most purposes. Also, that "cheap" fare doesn't stay that way for very long.....
- MEL/SYD-AKL-BNE. More expensive, but a more "exciting" way to make it, and if it's any consolation points and SCs come with the package. 2 FL runs there (although is AKL FL anything to write home about???) Anyone have a time frames around that effort? (Does it require an overnight in AKL? I'm hypothesising that it will - that's 7 hours of flying in that, notwithstanding time zone changes. Anyone considered LAN?) Requires passport - for real.
Gee...I can see it now... (mentally delete the "Originally" from the box below, pretend this is a future post...)

With the QF133 (MEL) / QF044 (SYD) options you get evening dinner (if one has access to the F/L).
Overnight at AKL and take the early QF116 to BNE.
Me, I'm flying with To Market To Market (AKA SWMBO) and it's direct MEL-BNE for us.

Event confirmed with QC BNE
Team,
I've spoken to the manager of the QF Club in BNE and we are "welcome" on Saturday 21 February. It was agreed that the J lounge wouldn't be available for such a (likely) large gathering.
Where's that QF WP guy to do all this organising?
(Sounds of stomping off in feigned indignation)

- There will be air conditioning....
- There will be enough beer/wine (yeah, probably can count on that one)
QF WP: [sotto voce] Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
LOL - just kidding. Let's just say he's MIA at the moment (and no not the airport MIA).

JQ19 has been moved from 21/2 to 22/2. So not possible to get F Lounge access this way. Are there any other domestic flights to anywhere leaving the international terminals of SYD or MEL that day?
EDIT: Found QF81 SYD-ADL but this doesn't connect to arrive in BNE in time for the AGM.
