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.

Options:
- Exactly on Saturday (21/02)
- QF81 SYD-ADL followed by ADL-BNE. Hop off the plane in ADL at around 1245h, then need to allow for at least 90 min MCT. QF search engine gives the earliest legal connection as arriving in BNE at around 1835h. Great
- JQ35 SYD-MEL followed by MEL-BNE. JQ35 arrives in MEL at around 1645. Again add the Int<->Dom MCT; we're in BNE at around the same time as the previous option.

- Around Saturday
- Any of the above options, except an overnight required at the intermediate port, or in BNE.
- JQ61 and JQ73, which are -DRW sectors ex MEL and SYD respectively. Fly on Friday, then veg in DRW Airport until midnight-ish, then either direct JQ or QF back to BNE, or via SYD. Not for the feint hearted, for very obvious reasons.
- Other Options (from the ingenious to downright "silly" / impossible)
- International connections. As posted earlier in this thread, the easiest of these is SYD-AKL on 20/02, then overnight in AKL (e.g. camp in the airport) then AKL-BNE etc. next day. Or perhaps more creative than that, a la Kiwi Flyer
- One could try for SYD-AKL QF141 followed by AKL-BNE QF126. This can be achieved on the same day (i.e. 21/02) and arrives in BNE at 1510h (assuming no .... delays
) - which, even after adding in time required to clear customs etc., is not a bad arrival time. One problem might be justifying to immigration the reason for the dead short TT... - Charter a service (e.g. through favours, QF conference travel, giant group travel, etc.) and beg it to leave from SYD T1 / MEL T2.......
- Beg for FL use without needing an Int ticket....

color me Silver as an AA PLT
I know I should have this event entered in the calendar for the next N years, but gee guys this is the prime time for short holidays when SE Asia is somewhat cooler and the younger generation is back in the school system(s).
So to pull this off it may be SIN-BNE-PER......

Silver for me until I know what I am likely to be doing. If I come I will be WP still. Can I get any more colours in there - sure, I can help a NB into the lounge

Thanks for doing the thread and organising the email to Wendy. Actually, had very few problems with the market issues, rather lots of financial plans to do and illness last week had me off work.

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 is another sale at the moment and I am going to book in the next two days.
Which flights are you guys taking to/from Sydney? Happy to provide a ride to the airport like last year.
