I probably did not read or missed the answer to this question, but here goes. Many of the airports required to complete the Kangaroo Club Accomplishment do not have a Servicing Airlines. How do you get credit for visiting those airports if there is no flight schedule for those airports? Thanks in Advance.

Hi Keith!
Doing some digging on this, you were right, 25 of the 53 airports required for the achievement don't currently show up in the schedule that I can find. I created a help desk ticket for this, so the hard-working DVA professionals can investigate. I noticed that 13 of the airports that are not currently in the schedule are accessible as part of 'a Tour Down Under", so completing that tour would be a great way to make progress while we wait for the long term fix. The tour legs that overlap with the achievement are:

Mildura Australia (MQL/YMIA), TOUR 5 VA1615 L1
Kalgoorlie Australia (KGI/YPKG), TOUR 9 DL9520 L6
Geraldton Australia (GET/YGEL), TOUR 11 VA2653 L1
Newman Australia (ZNE/YNWN), TOUR 12 DL9520 L8

Mount Isa Australia (ISA/YBMA), TOUR 19 DL9521 L7
Hamilton Island Australia (HTI/YBHM), TOUR 23 DL9522 L3
Moranbah Australia (MOV/YMRB), TOUR 24 DL9522 L4
Rockhampton Australia (ROK/YBRK), TOUR 25 DL9522 L5
Queenstown New Zealand (ZQN/NZQN) TOUR 31 DL9523 L2
Port Macquarie Australia (PQQ/YPMQ), TOUR 33 DL9523 L4

Dan, Thank You for the response. I also opened a Help Desk request. Bruno Israel will assign them as Charter flights, as needed.
Completing those legs as Part of the 'Tour Down Under' is a Great plan. "Two Birds With One Stone/Flight".
Thanks for that.

That was exactly what I did last year before going for the Kangaroo accomplishment. Great to see others are paying attention as well! Cheers

Add my name to the list. Kangaroo Club is the last club I have left. I finished the Tour Down Under a while back and knew that I'd be visiting many of the airports required for Kangaroo Club which was great! However, it looks like with the airports left, I'm going to come up around 12 or so short based on airports no longer served by our schedule. I've got three legs left to fly that I was able to find in the schedule but then I'll be hitting a wall. I'm cool with either submitting charter flight requests or waiting for a schedule adjustment - whatever is easiest on DVA staff.

Thank you,
Jas
