Lost Bet..... Punishment is coming!

[blueflamenco]

This sounds like fun! I look forward to seeing what happens. I don't have a whole lot to offer as a candidate other than flexibility.. And the ability to entertain during those long hard hours down the back of the plane (of which I am quite familiar with!).

 

[bossreggie]

I'm thinking of leaving within the next 14 days.

If you are interested then the following is important!!

I want this trip documented....Pics and Words!!

I need to have copious quantities of alcohol for my journey.

You can not portray me in a bad light!! (Yes I can be obnoxious... But That's cos I HATE flying)

There is a $3K budget each for air fares!

FINALLY.... I have to spend $20k for my sons' ticket. That is my usual fare to Europe. For 2 of us it would be $40K

Every $ I save under this amount I will donate to the Christchurch Earthquake appeal!

If ur interested in the trip please put ur best foot forward over the next day or 2.

NO PM's This is totally transparent.

When I have my final 3 candidates I will ask a Mod to help me with a poll.. The person with most votes will be the poor person who has to accompany me to London!!

How long are you staying there?

 

[bossreggie]

How long are you staying there?

Good question Mal!!

I will be there for 7 - 10 days in total.

Honouring the bet is the only thing to do Bossreggie, so good to see you follow through despite the pain and torture it will bring for many many many weeks (yes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is possiblility after an economy flight)!

 

[ejb]

boss,

I applaud your integrity in honouring the bet, many people would just buy their way out.

I do however feel for whoever goes with you as I predict a lot of moaning about space and comfort during the 22+ hours of Y seating.

Isn't +1 supposed to be coming on this trip? Where will he be in all this?

 

[Alanslegal]

So is it conditional that the person needs to fly to the UK and back, on the same flights?

The main reason I think is so you can document his experience in Y.

bossreggie,

Please count me out as the time line is impossible for me.

Good luck to whoever travels as I'm sure you will have a peasant, oops 'pleasant' trip :!:

Also another big thank you for your generosity in donating the balance of the fares to the Christchurch Earthquake appeal.

Unfortunately I don't think I can take any time off in March BossReggie.. I'm still tempted though :shock:!

 

[Lawlass]

Well, I'm still in.

I will happily wag uni for this little adventure. I am sure I can sell it to my lecturers as a chance to hone my writing skills as I seek to get across bossreggie's obnoxiousness with pathos and whimsy so that he will not come across badly, as per one of the stipulations of the contract. I believe that will take a GREAT deal of skill in this particular instance.

Pics and words I can do, provided you are happy that the pics come from an iPhone 4. If we get a plane with internet access, we can even do real-time updates.

Alcohol... well you know from experience that I can do alcohol. I don't know if I can go to the heroic lengths of karens, who offered to let you have hers as well as yours though.

If you give me a list of movies and/or TV shows that you would like access to, I can have these all downloaded ready to watch on the iPad in case the offerings of IFE in question are just too dire.

And I can upload pics of me in various travelling outfits so that you can advise me which you deem suitable attire for the journey.

I will glare menacingly on your behalf at any seat-kickers or inappropriate recliners. My super-awesome noise-cancelling headphones and ambient noise iPhone app are yours for when someone's precious darling starts squawking. My overhead locker space is your overhead locker space.

I will wait at the carousel for your non-prioritised luggage to come through.

Finally, we have already spent a 20-hour straight stint in each other's company and did not kill each other.

Thank you for considering my application.

Love Lawlass

No no... it is bossreggie's virgin experience of a peasant trip.

 

[notzac]

NO PM's... This is 100% genuine. Tell me why you should join me on my trip from HELL!!

I'd be up for this! Why should you choose me? I can drink with the best of them, I write a mean TR, I can operate a camera and should in theory have a relatively flexible schedule.

Whoever gets picked, I can't wait to read the outcome. Should be highly entertaining!

 

[ozmille]

can't wait to read the TR :!:

 

[bossreggie]

+1 and I are heading to London on 28th March. This trip from hell will be mine alone!!

Trust me.... That will NOT be in Y!!!

BTW.... does anyone have some thoughts as to a potential routing for the Y horror??

 

[Ewing]

Well a good start would be to avoid any routing on Royal Brunei

Just think if your son suggested flying on a *gasp* dry airline

 

[samh004]

I'd guess you want the shortest routing, so travelling to AKL first might not be best. You could also fly East to the US and then have a mini-break before over to the UK. Air Pacific would count (not QF or EK) via Fiji and you might even be upgraded on the first 2 legs. Then you can try Virgin America? That's meant to be good.

 

[drewbles]

OK I have a proposal for you which may work...

I'm flying out on the 13MAR MEL-DOH-BRU in whY on QR, already paid for and ticketed. Returning 28 MAR.

I'm travelling with a friend, but i'm sure he won't mind if I suggest..

You come along with us, I'll happily photo/document the trip. I do not ask for payment but a donation to QLD flood relief/NZ Earthquake/other worthy cause would be a good thing for karma.

The only thing I cannot offer, is lounge access (QR wouldn't match my BD or QF status, but you can buy lounge access in DOH, but the transit is tight in both directions so it's a moot point there). Perhaps some time at Café Vue in MEL will suffice.

There are plenty of connections from BRU to LHR, and i'd be willing to fly this in whY (based on me returning immediately to BRU to continue my holiday) if you want it documented all the way. Happy to fly a *A carrier for us to have lounge access.

How's that for a curve ball?

(I'm actually not really looking forward to my first flight in over 10 years long haul without lounge access, and i'll need someone to drink with; I can put 'em away too)

Apparently QR has excellent whY (as far as whY can be called excellent) and beats QF quite easily in seat pitch by several inches.

air asiax all the way otherwise chance it with air china :shock:
