At the moment, things are slightly in limbo, which is of course not good since the Gathering is in less than 30 days away. (Translate: I currently have
nothing planned at all - no flights, no hotels....)
Currently: QF PS, 430 SC, anniversary Feb.
My thoughts were to fly down to MEL via BNE-SYD on JQ *C, then SYD-MEL somehow else. (BNE-SYD-MEL all on *C is possible but only on Saturday, which knocks out pretty much all of the Sat events for me - not a good idea). Looks like there could be a contingent (enough WPs?) on QF73 going to SYD, then SYD to BNE. If there's a possibility for MEL FLounge, I wouldn't mind tagging along (and be ever most grateful to my inviting WP

).
But this is all still in a toss-up. Problem is I'm currently flat broke after my NZ trip (well, not completely literally, but for all intents and purposes) - I get paid tomorrow

cold comfort since the sales end tonight (esp. for the non-SC-run sectors). I have a reserve of about 60K points, I guess I could use an award (a
Classic Award to be precise

), if I can find the seats....promo SMBNE20Y is on which = 6000 pts only per BNE-SYD or SYD-MEL sector flown in X (still 16Kpts in D).
EDIT: Just realised I've shot myself in the foot again.....I could have used BPAY. Do'h!!!
