I am sure there are some lounges there You should plan a trip to HKG, it's got loads of OW and PP lounges. 🤣

Sounds like an excellent idea I used to live there many, many, many moons ago, a return is definitely on the cards

My suggestion would be a trip worthy of an outstanding trip report that would include all six continents...

...ah — what the heck. Include Antarctica too. Call it The Trip Report to End All Trip Reports.

Attendees who are based in each location could be assigned planning that part of the event.

My experience includes co-organizing the Delta Air Lines FlyerTalk Events of 2009 and 2010. We called it the Best. Field. Trip. Ever!

This is the Trip Reports forum with veteran travelers. Up this thing several notches. Surely this can take the title of Best. Field. Trip. Ever!

As much as I appreciate the enthusiasm, personally I’m not looking to remortgage the house

Sounds like a blast! My first trip without the little munchkins will be early June next year in an SFO777-style RTW for my 40th. If somehow dates and cities line up, count me in!

I'm good with HKG for a day.
From there, how about Bangkok for a day, since ex-BKK fares are lower than most SE Asia gateways?
We could buy out the entire (14 seat) EK A380 First Cabin on the evening 9:30pm HKG-BKK flight.
Then a day in BKK and then head home.

Cash fares for F are great on that route. I can only imagine the shower being in constant use for 14 people on a 3 hour flight! LOL

HK and BKK combo sounds good to me! But then again, easy for me to say - HK is close and BKK is home

Definitely would be enthused with HKG and BKK. Not self-funded an F flight before (not counting QR Intra-ME as F) so this would be quite the way to pop that cherry!

yes, and..............

I would love to go to this.
A veteran of OZFest, a number of Canadian DOs and JapanDO, I see a real need for standards when it comes to TRs.
i have one other suggestion. Can we pick dates well in advance + 11 months?
