With the organising thread confirming a date with Annette, The VA BNE Lounge Goddess, I can kick off this thread.

Where: BNE Domestic The Lounge, in the Quiet Corner (turn right after service desk and we're in the back corner)
When: Saturday, 23 August 2014 @ 3pm
RSVP: to this thread, we'll keep a running list of attendees (Gold - Yes I'm a definite; Silver - I'm a probable/maybe; Bronze - Sorry, I'm a scratching). Also, include your VFF status please.

Now in order to correctly constitute a meeting notice, here are the minutes of the last meeting:

For those who like a bit of history (nostalgia), here are the previous threads:

Inaugural DJ AGM thread

There's usually preliminary discussion about flying (VA centric, of course) as well as lunch at the Brekky Creek Hotel prior to the event in separate threads (for those that fly up early or locals that want to show the convivial atmosphere to our visitors):

Guess I should say I'm in

Expect RSVP's fairly quickly from penegal and Bundy Bear

Bundy Bear

Time to book that MASA to get me to Melbourne,

Also just received an email from Velocity saying I still needed 90SCs to requalify for Gold, 20 booked I needed 70SCs to maintain.

lowjhg

Will be there with honors. VA status is WP.

Arrive QF1546 at 1250 on the 23rd and departing QF1549 at 1405 on the 24th.

I will most likely have a throwaway booking for VA978 or anything cheaper so will have guesting allowance of 3.

thadocta

Oh, the irony!

SILVER - VA status is Paper

Dave

QF WP

True irony, thadocta. Because we have the entire area roped off and patrolling Lounge Angels looking after our needs, we won't be disturbed by pax.

Thinking to go up 9:00am ex MEL and return 6:55pm

There's a VA sale on finishing 15th June.

http://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en...ew-best-fares/

10% discount code*? GLV25

[*fare not +++]

QF WP

Try Promo code GLV25 to get a 10% discount (thanks to gwilli1)

Bundy Bear

I was looking at the 10:00am flight, but will be booking a flexi fare as I need the SCs,

I thought that discount code you had to be from NSW or attending an event of some sort.

I am heading back to Perth on VA468 at 5:30pm on the Saturday unless the relies have something planned for Sunday in which case I will be on VA468 on Sunday evening, there is no 8;00pm departure on a Saturday night.

serfty

That promo code is actually in my post - I was trying to be discrete.

(The first reference I came across this was on AFF with this post by joyvee on 27th April: 10% off Virgin Domestic Fares - Book before 30th June and Travel before 20th December)

serfty

Booked - colour me GOLD!

cityflyer369

Hi guys, just a question: how do I get into the lounge for the meeting if I don't have a flight on that day and am already in BNE?

serfty

You be one of da guests - each WP can guest three others.

cityflyer369

And the lounge staff knows about this and security will definitely not want to see my boarding pass?
