Hmm, I have a video somewhere of a German TV show host showing a video of naked skydiving :o

And no, please don't anybody post it here - just look at your own leisure or I'll find and email to you :|
 
I wonder if the Lotus F1 team should let webber use their hashtag now : #whereismypodium, 4th 4 times in a row!

I am never ever ever arriving into MIA International again

I did it a few years ago and thought the distance to walk to immigration was stupid. Today, arriving from LHR en route to BOS, it was 2.5 hours from de-planing to being at the AA check-in desk. 2.5 hours. That was around 1 1/4 hours in immigration, 15 minutes of finding bags which had been offloaded from the bag carousel and were 3-4 deep all the way around the carousel (there were 6 flights on each of the 8 carousels) and then a 200-300m queue for an hour to go through customs, where the TSA agent was busy chatting up 'hot chicks' and holding the queue up (one agent for the queue, to collect the blue form).

Utter joke. I got to check-in with 4 minutes to spare, and then it took a further 20 minutes to clear the TSA checkpoint, and that was in the First Priority AAccess queue, not the J one.

Never again!

Codeshare. SAA "own" the other seats at the moment...
 
Just booked a Qantas flight. Hmmm

HBA-MEL was $450 on DJ, $85 on JQ and $129 on QF.

Now that's just crazy.

First time was bad, this was like the apocalypse (in comparison at least).

First time we just had to walk probably 200-300m, turn left, and do a 180º effectively, and head back. Then when we hit immigration it was ok from there (and I had no checked luggage).

The extra SC's were definitely not worth it (but the main reason I did it was there was no availability in Y+ on LHR-BOS on the day I needed; the return to LHR is BOS-LHR direct fortunately).

Although the BA leg has credited to QF already, nice and prompt (and a whopping 442 cabin bonus. Stupid Y+).

Not many really. I believe my booking class on AA was discount whY so it'll only be 20 or so SC's (maybe even 15). Out of the 1200 I need by end of Feb, it's not a huge amount (1.67%). Still, my entire trip is netting me around 450 SC's, so that's over a third of the way in 2 weeks (although the BOS-LHR-SIN-MEL-SYD segment i'm not really looking forward to; even with a 12 hour layover in LHR in which i'm going to end up working).

And yes, I did make it. The Hyatt Regency isn't too bad either:)
