AFF Gathers: In RADelaide!! [28-30 November 2008] - The Australian Frequent Flyer Online Community

Flashware · 25th August 2008, 04:23 PM

The AFFers have spoken and ADL it is for the next AFF meet.

I shall be organising this one, but of course any help would be greatly appreciated as not being from Adelaide there's sure to be a few places I may miss.

Let us make this as good as MEL, if not better!!

QF009 · 25th August 2008, 04:29 PM

Confirmed...

I am almost certain as a starter. Can confirm within a week or so.

Can I start the ball rolling and nominate Mapo Korean Restaurant as a candidate for dinner one night. Four of us ate there (in the a la carte section rather than the barbecue section) at Easter and my meal was excellent, and I know the others thoroughly enjoyed their selections.

QF009 · 25th August 2008, 07:38 PM

Can someone consult their magic crystal balls and advise if I ought to book a ticket now (most likely QF) or if I should look out for an impending sale. Thanks.

Shows how little domestic flying I do...

And as I know nothing about Adelaide apart from 6 hrs spent at Adelaide Uni and having some friends from there, I will have to gracefully take a backseat from the coordinating of this one unlike AFF Gathers 1. More than happy to help where i can though.

I'm going to hang out for a sale. There's one on that finishes toninght for MEL-ADL on QF for $85, but is for early Sept.

I managed to snag $199 each way on QF, for a boring old PER-ADL-PER!

QF009 · 25th August 2008, 09:04 PM

As indicated, I've made a flex booking for Hilton ADL at A$220, minus commissions. Will change it to adv purch when the trip is v imminent.

I always like to try something different in ADL, and this time I've settled on BreakFree Directors Studios - Introduction - BreakFree City Hotels - $139/night for a studio room is pretty good value, and it's close to the action.

Alright, let's get this started... any suggestions/feedback welcome

The dinner and drinks thing works, unless other people have better suggestions.
