The Velocity Status Run Master thread

[Bolthead]

Thank you Bolthead. When are you guys jetting off to -A47? April 5th here! 6am positioning MEL -SYD.

May 3rd for me! Taking my father for his birthday

Positioning that morning ex OOL

May the 4th be with you!

I'm the day after dzinh. Might stay the night in Syd. 6am doesn't sound like fun.

Can anyone confirm SG/WP lounge access on both legs of this one? (It seems like lounge at departure outbound, lounge at mid way inbound, but no other lounges?)

Now everyone knows that A47 is St Maarten

I am a bit greedy I am ashamed to say...
2 x pax x 2 return trips

Out 11th May back 17th May
Out 7th June Back 11th June

.... That's unfortunate :evil: what are we going to do at the airport before the flight leaves

Climb a coconut tree....

Opps, giving it away now!!

Extended checkout finishes at 6, might as well attend a night show and dinner, that should go to 10, be at the airport by 10:10. Airport shops look depressing :shock: next they'll take away priority boarding. :evil: Might check in and walk across the street and sit at the beach hehe

Seriously? for a flight at that price, you really can't complain if you are stuck in a terminal. It's the price you (didn't) pay

Sorry, just having emotional first world problems here, never faced being stuck in a terminal without lounge access for long layovers before wifi looks pricey at our destination though.

AFF coconut tree climbing competition??

I have booked an A50 with positioning on the outbound SYD-xMEL-(A50 origin) and returning with an A51 which I will likely fail to board the final sector of unless I find a cheapy to return home with.

With the prize going to the biggest nut???

You have to climb, collect then use the coconuts to spell out DYKWIA in the sand before claiming your prize of fresh coconut juice for your return leg home

I have booked an A50 with positioning on the outbound SYD-xMEL-(A50 origin) for 16900 + $42.30 and returning with an A51 which I will likely fail to board the final sector of unless I find a cheap ADL-SYD to return home with.

Im tempted to book... But if I do I think HWMBO will disown me.

Can't get A50 to even show the origin and destination. Is it still valid?

You have to search something else, then go 'Modify' on the right hand side

Just worked that out. Thanks

Precicely. I'm booked on May 7th.

Did you pay the price (points & $) as shown on the site or what is listed against A50 in the spread sheet?

 

[Peabody]

Sorry, sorted. Paid in the $ amount I have listed.

 

[dzinh]

Cant find any availabilities, showing as 48000 for J

 

[Deleted member 29185]

I seem to have the occasional issue with log in. Anyone else having that too?

Anyone who missed out on the old B11 may wish to check the sheet, I believe Mak404matt may be adding something soon.

 

[Peabody]

J on B37 went fast!

ok first post in what seems like forever !! in fact i cant remember if i have actually posted in here! i am a newbie so all this talk of credit v miles etc is kinda going woosh over my head! i have read through oodles of stuff and i really need to get all these things working for me, instead of the other way round LOL!
i have oodles of points but no status credits, did have but they have dropped out due to me not flying the last year - open heart surgery kinda buggered that up for a while so i am now back to red. DH needs 50 status credits & 2 sectors to get to silver , i need the full 250 - before 18 mar. i am based in Perth. Suggestions anyone??
thanks in advance - i have asked for access to the spreadsheet also

Quickly getting back to the infamous A47. Would like to hear from anybody on how the flights went (including any issues on the ground, lounge access etc...) I am not going until May so would be great to hear how the trip went.
