OT Alert / rather than start a new thread for something so small, I thought the AKL lounge regulars on here might be able to recommend a good reliable AKL airport transfer service that isn’t $$$$? I have a tonne of NZ travel coming up for a new client, and lots of late night arrivals included...

With the kiwis in particular I’m sure!

There was Hokey Pokey a few weeks ago

Try try again 😜

PR stunt 🥱

A family member flew an A330 to BNE recently

Are “Garden Inns” their cheaper sub brand?

Wow I’m booked mid Sept… might be one of my last trips then!

MEL-JFK Mid Oct - computer said yes JFK-MEL Early Nov - computer said yes Guess shoulder season is a good time to ask :)

You are quite correct. Extremely difficult for those poor team members in particular.

Ah no… still under restrictions from previous work anyway! Very happy to not be on this particular merry go round 😜 Whoever gets to work on this one, will be interesting that’s for sure, especially given the personalities of the players involved 😂 I do feel very sorry for the staff impacted.

Interesting comments from the government… I wonder given their regional operations whether help will come - if required. I doubt the jet service would be supported, but regional ops potentially yes….

No not really, but really don’t want this thread to go off topic and turn into yet another seating thread! If you read through the other threads you’ll see, read up at what happens at T24.

Chuck my vote in for Seattle, tonnes of work there! Lots of clients, tech. Good premium load for QF I’m sure.

Stayed at Le Meridien, lovely location and hotel but yes agree with others the beds are incredibly hard. I spoke to the manager, they are aware of it - it’s a known issue and you can order mattress toppers and housekeeping will come and put it on your bed for you…. Good tip I thought I would...

Seamless again out of SYD tonight. I actually thought there would be more teething problems but I think as many have already pointed out the computer doing the rejection makes it easier for staff to take on entitled corporates that ply the QF golden triangle!

Too big to fail…. So a few crashes now and then are tolerable especially if they aren’t in the US.

Good news for MEL airport users with MEL airport backing down on the type of train station, wants it now open when the new third runway opens. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-08/vic-melbourne-airport-rail-line-station-compromise/104069626

Reporting back on SYD experience. Again, huge improvement. Told the boarding gate agent and they agreed said it’s been great for them too. Made boarding much faster. I didn’t hang back to see if there were many ‘turn back of gate lice’, saw just one as I boarded but appeared to be a genuine...

Like many others I fall into the camp of ‘didn’t even know I was impacted’ as I wasn’t inconvenienced to the point of it even registering… I was rebooked onto flights minutes either side of the OG flights. Was travelling all through Covid and in the recovery phase heavily.
