Lock it in kiddies!

I may as well use this thread as an expression of interest. Please only post if you're above 75% chance of making it, as I need a good estimation of numbers over the next week or so.

[LeftyHoges]

Sounds like I'll lock that flight in then!

Cool.

To all those looking at Monday flights, anything starting with a 3, you'll be fine. Starting with a 2 is pushing it.

[AndyP]

Jetstar have 1040 or 1525 into Melbourne out of Brisbane. I wanted something inbetween. The Monday choices are pretty sucky too.

[PeteyD]

yea monday looks like a 6pm out, and the 7:15 am leave on monday. Might book it, still less than 200 with baggage.

[AndyP]

I'm still thinking about Thursday/Friday arrival. I don't like leaving the wife to take the kids to school for three mornings, as that is my job. But should the Champ change his routine?

[AndyP]

Is this what you are doing, Petey? 0715 Thursday, 1800 Monday. Are you putting pressure on me? Stop twisting my arm, you're hurting me.

[BenM]

Dooo it. I might have to think about booking mine too.

[PeteyD]

If I take these flights yea, but I am not 100% i can make it yet!

[AndyP]

That's right. You are booking flights, but not necessarily going.

BITS mentioned these flights too.

Stuff it, I'll book and hope the MIL can help out. I just don't like missing out.

[AndyP]

Done.

Thurs 0715 Jetstar Brisbane to Melbourne
Mon 1800 Jetstar Melbourne to Brisbane

Wow!

[benno_r]

Done.

Thurs 0715 Jetstar Brisbane to Melbourne

Let me look at Avis options too. Alpha was a bit of a PITA.

Nope.

[PeteyD]

Let me look at Avis options too. Alpha was a bit of a PITA.

Alpha are 350 at the moment, plus a bit to remove excess.

Apollo are just under 500 with excess removed and are at the airport, hertz counter I think.

[KristianJ]

I was quoted about 270 for a SUV from Alpha with zero excess.

[mrbluu]

Tickets are booked!!! Peppas, I and maybe KJ are flying in Thursday morning to Tully. Peppas, Matty and I are flying out on Sunday from Avalon. I've very excite!!!!

[LeftyHoges]
