The totally off-topic thread

I used the pieces from my QP tags.

I will make silver upon my return from this trip so I don't have those...

And cable ties look like cough.

Trying to work out the best way to affix my AFF tag to my carryon bag.

Ideas?

Didn’t it come with a bit of elastic? That’s what I’m using still.

 

[QF WP]

Yes, but the breaking strain of the elastic is not good - so I wouldn't trust it.

I lost one of mine on our return from Adelaide (was on my bag when at the airport, but picking up on carosel at BNE it was gone). I think it either got chewed on the baggage belts or puroloined by the luggage guys (and I was using the clear plastic tie supplied by QFF).

I'm just putting mine on my cabin bag.

Me too. If a baggage handler sees my tags they can't say hello.

I am putting my money that the AFF luggage tag will appear on eBay soon.

That’s the logic I’m going by. I have other bells and whistles to spot my bag at the carousel

I hope they don't blow on the whistle. That would be unhygienic!

I prefer to have the Aussie flag side showing up on mine, rather than the AFF member side.

Well Coachtrans turned up 15 minutes early and I ended up at BNE international airport 15 minutes earlier.

Had already used OLCI for SQ flight and waited no more than a couple of minutes as I was the only one in the internet check-in queue. Why don't more people use OLCI as there was around 30+ people lined up in the normal economy queue?

Anyway dropped off golf clubs at oversize baggage, filled out departure card, went through security (yes security is before immigration) and I was the only person in the immigration queue and I am in the Qantas Lounge less than 30 minutes later.

I guess it is late night but there is hardly anything in the buffet. Some cold meats, some olives, some fetta and some salads. The lounge closes 10:45pm which is about the time my flight starts boarding so I'll just have a couple of Crown Lagers and catch up on AFF.

I don’t have a yellow sun over scored red earth on my tag?

Good idea

Haha.

I have just been in the HKG Pier First Class Lounge for close to an hour and the place is empty and I am bored.

My HKG-SIN flight is now delayed 1:30 hours and they have finally posted the departure gate 28 so may move over to the QF First Class Lounge for a while before my flight.

Still feeling sick so hopefully will get better by tomorrow.

 

[JohnK]

After a long walk and a lot of backtracking took almost half an hour to find the HKG QF First Class Lounge. Even less people in here and now I have to walk back to gate 28 for my flight.

I have just received my AFF tags in the post first trip will be to ZQN next month hopefully via the Flounge in SYD with 2 extra guests.

Can’t remember if I’ve asked, but when will you be in ZQN exactly? Hope to see you there!

Now in the Skyview Lounge in SIN and it is not surprising I am the only one in here apart from the cleaners.

I am lettiing the luggage head off to left luggage and I will go down later to pick it up and check-in again for my SIN-HKG-BKK flights.

Í arrived at the Stamford Sydney airport at 830 this morning expecting to drop off my bag and head into town. A room was available. I have a fantastic view of the airport and am spending the day in bed in my Qantas pj's. Might venture to the gym this afternoon.
