The view or two from my "office"

OT, how do you go about making a claim for UK261?

I have been following @Port Power and @RooFlyer 's Antarctic trip and this popped up in my FB memories this morning, so I hope it's ok to contribute a retrospective office, from 2016.



The blue arrow is pointing to my tiny ship, Polar Pioneer. A very different trip to the current voyages, with about 50 pax.

Thanks @Major . I've read a number of these pages but no information on how to apply directly. I would have reservations applying via a commercial 3rd party website.

Just contact the airline. Some, like BA, have a dedicated page.

4.5 hour delay in the end so 2x £520 thank you very much!

Fantastic office view, just about to depart Barbados. Annoyingly the delay meant we weren't able to explore town at all which is a shame. But this view...!


Was interesting, as soon as we got off the plane it was on a bus and off to the port. No need to do immigration, one of the benefits of a charter I guess.

Pretty poor bus though.


I think their map is a bit... wrong

Thank you. That will pay for a few drinks.

Or a pre amp / phono stage to power my new turntable... I've been doing well out of UK261 lately

I'd never use any of those generic sites to claim, always try direct with the airline initially.

More public transport.

This time through thick cloud:


And the "view" from the office. At least the diagram on glass shows what you're missing.



This is the start of the "Big Thrill Walk":



You can read all about it and see more pics in post #136 of my trip report: The Castle.

My current office - Crystal Symphony in Hobart.


And Viking Orion also in port today.

Our second Bangkok office looking at @Hvr ’s recently vacated office and the other office he missed.



Another of our previous Bangkok offices.


And river scenes.




When we first stayed here at the Royal Orchid Hotel those ferries cost 1 baht to cross the river and go exploring.

Our ship must have the ability to teleport, is that something new?

Went to bed here...

Woke up here...


No distinguishing landmarks though!

I don’t think so. This is where I woke up one morning on my Antarctic cruise

Ah, that's the same location our map on the TV was showing! Not too far away from a few places I've worked

@WilsonM and I visited Charyn Canyon in Kazakhstan yesterday. The scenery was rather spectacular!

The actual Bangkok office now.








half the wardrobe.


And the bathroom.

A couple more from around Murren.

Looking towards Jungfrau


Work underway to duplicate the gondola. The view from those cranes would be just awful on a clear day.


Funicular to the top of one of the ski slopes. Conventional chairlift to the left for those who prefer the traditional way up.



Most properties in Murren have their own veggie patch.



While we struggled to find a coffee on the morning of our visit, I suspect finding a drink wouldn't be a problem later in the day.


Murren, Switzerland.

My office at 2,970 metres.





Schilthorn, Switzerland.

That is Longitude Zero, Latitude Zero. Also called Null Island.
Software must have a try catch that sets the coordinates to 0,0 if it can't find the real coordinates.

The view from our office at night was everchanging an colourful.












And with the lights on I found the best view - a multi level car park.
