The totally off-topic thread

How is your flight looking today.

That is an interesting way of putting it. I really like the Skyview lounge and think it is a little better than the Qantas Business lounge all things considered. Anyway horses for courses.

The Cathay lounge in Singapore isn't too bad, spent a couple of hours there in November.

The sky if falling, the sky is falling!

It is Friday afternoon, I am in Brisbane, the weather is awful and while there are some delays my flight is still on time! :shock:

Perhaps I should not mention that my Friday afternoon flight is showing as on-time (have I now jinxed the flight?)

The NSW govt has kindly taken my "QF please" request and given me flights PER-SYD-WGA on DJ and Rex respectively... Bad for SC accumulation on QF, but a chance to use my status match DJ SG for the first time, and fly Rex for the first time - any recommendations or advice? One way on DJ is saver, flexi on the way back which I presume means 'lunch' included.

And for those I was chatting with at the Perth drinks the other day, I had my interview for the 'real' job (not mercenary FIFO roles in the East!) today - I think it went okay....
Sadly, cove, I have not yet inherited millions of dollars

I had thought drmikki would be a wealthy Japanese or Chinese doctor and I still don't know why.
Got that very wrong.....a very normal young lady despite haunting AFF!
I am ok with you flying Virgin and Rex as I am still a shareholder of both even though I don't fly with them.
If you ever get millions of dollars I know how to spend those dollars so stay in touch.

you should be lucky enough to get the front 2 rows on your VA flight (the auto allocated seat is usually the best for your status). I've been rapt with DJ thus far - also as a Gold.

On the way over, feed up in The Lounge as you're right - it's buy on board. Every Flexi meal I've had as been better than QF.

Can't help you with Rex, but there are AFF member in WGA.

It had to happen once for you

I've taken JohnK's place for today ; what is normally a 15 minute journey home has just taken me 2 hours and a result I missed the delivery of my watch back from Tag (who have had it for months ) by about 10 minutes. The driver can come back this afternoon but it's right in the middle of the time I'm meeting with the Dr to discuss the next steps for my SO. NOT HAPPY does not even come close to describing how I'm feeling right now:!: :evil::evil:

 

[QF WP]

The meeting with the doctor is far mote important than a watch...put it in perspective. Trust the tests have been positive

I know.. still doesn't change the fact that everything's being going awry today! To top it off, was peckish so grabbed a bowl of cereal ; it tipped ever so slightly and drenched my keyboard. Sometimes you have to just quit while ahead...:!: (or behind :shock

Just done 3 flights in the past 24 hours on Cebu Pacific,

Cebu has not yet had a flight leave on time.

All up I have done 7 flights on not one has ever been on time.

God I hate having no status with an airline.

I was wondering if it would be socially acceptable at a concert to grab a pack of Smiths Crisps off the patron sitting next to you and using ones shoe to grind them to dust. Sitting next to that pack at the Olivia Newton John concert last night affected about 40 show attendees with the rustling and crunching.
