The AFF Hall of Shame (AKA The Confessional)

[SydneySwan]

Forgive me, for I have sinned.

Last year, I flew economy.

No No No. Some behaviour is just inexcusable. Please hand in your AFF badge.

... and don't mind the door slamming shut on the way out?

Don't worry, my next set of flights are in business so I will atone.

 

[Flashback]

My first ever J flight was a points upgrade Y to J SIN-PER on the old 767 J bucket style seats (Dreamtime IIRC?). I did not know what a lounge was back then, nor did the check-in agent advise us we could use it ....... we had friends travelling back on the same flight so wouldn't have gone in anyway, but would have been nice to know! They had too much luggage so at least were able to use our newly increased J luggage allowance to safely get their (many) purchases back home without additional cost.

The other weekend I had a points ticket booked BNE-xSYD-oMEL-xSYD-BNE. While in Melbourne the MEL-SYD leg was cancelled and they re-booked me direct. My sin is that I did not ask for a refund of points/cash, nor did I ask for ORC (points club). In my mind, it wasn't worth the time.

Forgive me for I have sinned.

I bought a Wifi 6 Mesh Router with Amplify points which could have been used to get Krisflyer points instead...

Avoiding the business’ product? ( If I’ve read between your previous lines correctly)

For absolution, you all must away to the Lounge and take 3 bloody mary's. Only then can you be forgiven.

I took a premade sandwich out of the qantas business lounge so I didn't have to buy lunch later

This sin might earn me a public stoning...
I joined AFF in 2008 but didn't use it straight away, so forgot about it . I only "discovered" it again a few years ago. My punishment has been not being able to fly to the northern hemisphere summer during Melbourne's winter.

I don't even see this as a sin tbh but I am a borderline kleptomaniac when it comes to bagging in "free" things (haven't used any shower products but those little hotel bottles for years and more often than not my towels also have a nice 'souvenir' branding ).

Back during my time in the UK, flying loads across Europe for both leisure and business, it was pretty much standard behavior for me to stuff out my carry on bags with those little bags of kettle chips and a few of those tiny soft drink and beer cans that BA so conveniently offers in their T5 lounge. Usually sufficed as an after flight snack in the hotel before heading to sleep

I flew JQ this week

In my defence, it was because they operate the only direct Adelaide - Hobart flights and my original VA flights went via Melbourne. Am I forgiven?

Actually that's a double fault. You flew JQ AND you flew direct!

 

[Seat0B]

@Berlin, I too am a borderline klepto - once I took a couple of small tins of Fever Tree tonic from the BA lounge to my son in Dubai as it is really hard to get there. And I have definitely packed a couple of packets of kettle chips and even a couple of tim tams into my hand luggage towards the end of a J flight to Tokyo to eat on the bus connecting to the snow fields.

I did buy a bundle though. Or does that make the crime even worse?

No, that sort of thing lessens your sin.

 

[SOPOOR]

Not that I have done this but I have thought about it but when travelling on F SIA to ask if I can take the left over or a full bottle of Dom perignon or krug or caviar

 

[Brissy1]

Hoped off the train at Central (Syd) instead of continuing to the airport, got dumplings from my fav takeaway on Devonshire St, then back on the train to the airport. Yesterday!

No that is a triple fault.I had to fly JQ twice last year because no one else was flying to LST.Booked by the agent who included a bundle but I could not bring myself to accept the offerings.
