Re: Happy hours not so cheery anymore Slim pickings and happy hours seem to go hand in hand these days.

You know you are a frequent flyer when: You flash your "Platinum-emblazoned" boarding pass to dragon one and dragon two and confidently dissect the two and proceed to your next dream sequence.

revolio: contrarian poker linguistics.

In so many areas Virgin have a different interpretation of 'fair'. Money, money, money. But they are not alone.

(better add I am almost exclusively talking about Oz/Nz. desire to travel long distances fades year by year)

I have similarities with you Flashback. I travel 155 nights plus per year. No corporate tab payer; so I have to be efficient. As an early retiree, I have 'sale' down to a fine art - I can book months/years in advance and loosely schedule around cheap flights and stays. When with my (solicitor)...

well done Kyle. I made my third (at final) call to the Platinum "hotline" over the weekend (and used a pre-paid mobile; the cost of chasing this clearly exceeds the 1500 points). The points may well come through over the next couple of weeks but no more promotions for me. They really make you...

or cider, or water....anything but beer or wine.;)

SOURCE How to earn and use your Le Club Accorhotels loyalty points

I thought the answer would have been "no" AP, but I checked their site and found this: Earn even on your expenses. Earn points on your bookings and on your hotel expenses at the bar, spa, restaurant and more. So it's seems to be a big fat "YES". (I never check what they give me, just blindly...

Radio waves travel at the speed of light. The transmission of just a packet or two therefore only takes 4.5 hours. 18 months only comes into play because of the vast collection of data; images and insights deduced in the last 24 hours are just from data of the previous day or so. Most of the...

Always had the impression there was more to this. Also have the feeling being simply deported and not charged with a crime is vitally important. Her story sold to the media (tv and print.....headlines have probably been written already) would be a nice six or seven figure earner when back on Oz...

still yet to materialise....hmmmm??

Just reading the Canberra Times - VA banner ad up the top: 'Melbourne to Canberra $169' & 'Melbourne to Cairns $165'. With this in mind just stare at an Australian map for a while. It's a long long long way up to FNQ. But as the saying goes up north, 'there's two ends to a pineapple'. I know...

then again (happpppppy hour just opened), maybe not.

likewise (had a visual image of 2 two tall VA FA's raising the elusive bar higher in the Olympic stadium {as RB's gold helicopter touched down near the marshalling area}).

levy: would something appear in today's happy hour that might fit the bill? Lean pickings lately, but there might be a SYD/MEL or SYD/BRI up for grabs this weekend? We live in hope. (nothing against Ballina, lol)

Nice review RB. I'll be watching out for future sales; great location for me.

I received one, but the timing is all wrong. Wouldn't have minded 'mingling', but a couple of coughtails and I'm making a fool of myself, so probably just as well. My traffic might explain the invite - over 40 Accor nights already this year.

ditto. appropriate Aussie behaviour.
