The view from my "office"

[TheRealTMA]

As someone who’s seen Pam Ann numerous times, I always have a chuckle to myself when greeted by “Susan” at the BA First lounge LHR T5…

I wonder how many Australians have tried to ride it after a session in the champagne lounge?

3 times, only been caught once.

Is that seriously a lamp shade on it's head?

 

[Captain Halliday]

After getting a bit wet in the Whangarei office, we relocated to the Eden Park office where we were absolutely drenched:








Auckland, New Zealand.

Is that seriously a lamp shade on it's head?

Yes. And more throughout….

13:00 Blasting at the Superpit in Kalgoorlie

 

[Captain Halliday]

All set to depart the Auckland office, and while living it up in the QF F lounge noticed the inbound aircraft was nowhere to be seen on FR24.

When the inevitable happened, I spent almost an hour in a queue waiting for hotel and taxi vouchers before relocating to this office to wait it out.


Auckland Airport Industrial Park, New Zealand.

QF international J lounge. Spotter the Piper in the fridge and asked for a glass. Was asked if I'm chairman's lounge. I said no. She said it's just for them. I played dumb and said oh. Others I know had just asked and been given. She gave me a glass but said that's it. That's ok. Only needed one.

Also, sad to see the Bodhi space re-purposed now. Crowding issues with the Paris flight. It was called just as I was entering the lounge.

I might have to “play dumb” later today.

 

[Daver6]

I might have to “play dumb” later today.

Or just answer yes with confidence

Looks like your chariot just pulled up...

Our "go-to" prior to heading to Tulla tomorrow. Upgraded to premium king 1 bedroom.
We do get looked after here very well, can recommend.

The Sebel Moonee Ponds

The view of the window on QF71 of Shark Bay is certainly better than the internal view. Literally just had a baby throw its toy out of the cot knocking my drink all over me.

That's what happens when you travel with the great unwashed masses!

There's a chance I could be on the same flight as @JohnM in the future. So I'll consider this preparation should that eventuate

Darling Harbour / Sydney office.

 

[OZDUCK]

Slumming it tonight. Hoover House B&B Gwalia.

The room





The house - designed by future US President Herbert Hoover when he was the mine manager here in 1898.



And turning around from looking at the house - the reason for the existence of everything here. Slightly enlarged since Hoover's days.

Or just answer yes with confidence

“Glass of champagne, thanks”.
“Help yourself just there”
“Ah no, champagne please”
“Oh, you mean that one” followed by handing over v.full glass.

After my unexpected extra night in AKL I headed downstairs for a healthy, nutritious breakfast.



Then back to the airport where the inbound office actually turned up and Auckland’s weathered was… the usual.


Auckland, New Zealand.

On the way home the CSM stopped by a few pax to chat and deliver a small gift.

I couldn’t work out if this was status related, or for those of us on the previous day’s cancelled service.

Either way I have a new key ring.



The weather at home was better than AKL.







Our parking spot was next to…

Brisbane, Queensland.

Don't feel special. They hand them out to plebs who shouldn't be getting chamnpagne in the lounge even

Actually, they gave me this, in Y, and some pyjamas (yes pyjamas are a thing now on QF71/72) as an apology for the drink spill. Wasn't really needed as cough happens. Tell you what though. Really grateful I was travelling in Kathmandu flight pants. Water repellent FTW!
