Return of above flight...

And do I gather we've all lost interest?

 

[simongr]

Apologies again - still trying to work out the best way to "report" on this and been a tad busy coming to the end of my work year - new one starts on 1 Oct though.

It is potentially looking like I might only get to this in early Dec on my India marathon...

 

[pauly7]

Sorry to interrupt the flow... and yes I'm lazy for not contributing, but interested to ask everyone - last 4 flights I've been on domestic, I've been pre-allocated exit rows every single time... and they aren't even the 'busy' flights.

No complaints here but thought it was a bit weird... no doubt I have jinxed myself now and next flight won't be!

Anyone else with same experience lately??

Yes actually! Today I flew CBR-SYD and was preallocated an exit row using Quickcheck at the airport, however as it was an aisle seat, I changed it to a normal window seat. btw I am a NB as well.
