Little things I like

LTIL: Staff that go out of their way to do little things that make a big impression.

Had a brief chat with one of the staff working the front desk here at the Novotel AKL Airport and mentioned I'd been going since 4am and was trying to power through to my next flight at 6am. Cue momentary shock from the hotel staffer. I went back to where I've set up shop here in the lobby, and the next thing I know he's walking over with a fistful of pre-packaged cookies (think like you'd get in the minibar) for me because he thought it might help me to "power through". 😋

Not staff but terrific!

Back in "the Day" (OK, a decade and a half ago) @Kiwi_Flyer showed me where it was possible to get some quiet sleep landside on the (now publicly inaccessible) floor above immigration at AKL international.

That's an LTIL!

(Loved those NZD35 fares on QF that earned 20 SC)
 
2 things for me this week.
Emirates First CHC-SYD on Sunday evening was awesome, one of my best flights ever.
Have flown QF first and BA first were ok but not in the same league.
I am now likely QF 4 flights away from Life time gold and Qantas platinum for this membership year.
 
LTIL: In the past week I have parked in Hobart and forgotten to start the parking app - one in a highly patrolled zone. In both cases, I came back after about 90 mins, having remembered that I hadn't started parking so feeling pretty wretched, and ... no tickets! 🎉
🤞it remains like that @RooFlyer with no surprises in the mail!

Thanks, but pretty confident I got away with it. They are very consistent on putting it both well stuck on the windscreen & under wiper blades; in one case I was in underground car park so little chance of being 'blown away'.
