Did you get a booking confirmation from Expedia? I suspect their templates are out of date.

I don’t think they’re using Expedia anymore. I tried for a property in Goa and had the same. The benefit isn’t great anymore.

Yep, per calendar year. It’s a massive PIA to use. The concierge service is about as useful as a midget to Stephen Hawking fan on a motorcycle. I managed to use it once. First attempt was close to the end of the year and by the time we’d done 15 emails backwards and forwards with 15...

Interesting they’re doing a hot turn rather than the former late night departure (and a 4:30am arrival at Tambo from memory). Was a pleasant time to go through immigration. I guess they can’t afford to have the aeroplane on the ground all day. This kills an awful lot of connection options. Would...

The whole thing sounds a little like the Uber/Splend model. Splend (777 partners) leases to the Uber driver (Bonzas somewhat optimistic management team) at insanely expensive costs. The Uber driver gives it his best shot, but realizes after a while that the model doesn’t work. Uber driver pulls...

Yes that was surprisingly easy. I was getting ready for a fight given there had been a few dramas with the approval, but the bonus went in with the first months points (Virgin Flyer card).

Hopefully the death of this horrific operation isn’t too far away. I really cannot fathom how CASA (let alone our workplace regulators) are letting this charade continue.

There was a fair spread of sarcasm in my previous post 😏

Have a colleague at HND now waiting for the return to SYD. No plan at this stage.

Looks like a plan has been filed to depart NRT for HND in 25 mins and then turn the aircraft to CNS with a 3 hour delay. Good work, they’re all over it 😎

Interesting to note that QF and NH just departed SYD for HND. I know it’s 10ish hours until they arrive, but I’m surprised they’d bother dispatching to a known closed airport.

Should happen bang on 14 days

From my reading, you can send them wherever you want regardless of your chosen status airline?

Yeah it was all too hard. Initially seemed to think it might be achievable, but in the end no dice. There’s a 5 hour connection so I might just risk it. Rarely is the inbound from SIN late. Hopefully I can get them to check the bags onwards to HRE on SA and avoid going through SA immigration.

Anyone ever had any success adding a sector to an existing SQ award booking? I’ve got a SYD-JNB booked and have decided to go straight to Harare. SAA do it, I’d be booking an unprotected connection but it would be helpful if I can just add the sector (should be roughly the same points).

Can’t imagine many of the senior management team would have a call answered by one of the pilots. Probably more likely to get kicked off.

Yep, has been a nice little earner. Just a shame it’s an extra 6 month wait now!

Actually, you could have an NAB Qantas and still be good for an NAB Rewards within the 18 months.

Looks like govt bills are ok which is a nice change. Points all ok on a Sydney water bill.

And they are. In droves.
