Yet another offer! The level of forward bookings must be scaring some of the good folks in Mascot.

 

[AIRwin]

Thanks! Just in time as I'm about to book flights...

 

[ChrisMars]

I don't want to book flights. I guess I ll go to the movie theatre instead.

Just made 3 bookings just now

Appears price changes not yet pushed through the system so I’ll go suss them out in the morning and see what I might cancel for any reason within 24 hours or keep
Zzzzz

Yeah, of course, after the sales over, fares go up. The cheapie J All vanish

Thats feels normal - usually there's not a sale and DSC at the same time. Which is why I go watch movies instead and wait for sales later.

Forgive me for asking something that may already be known, but the TnCs have confused me a little. Am I right in understanding that If I was to walk into the theatre counter and ask to watch a movie after 2nd September, it would still be a happy screening if the tickets were bought during the short window?

 

[Cloud9]

The rate the offers have been running, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for better points deals on wine...

...Maybe that's the next twist: Buy WP with 10 quarterly cases of mediocre reds?

TnC have been updated every DSC, nothing has changed practically at all. It's possible that things change, but until we see some IT overhaul I wouldn't expect a change. But usually someone has been a guinea pig pretty soon after.

Meanwhile still waiting for the status on the ground information - announced in February and no details. 'Late 2026' feels like it will be announced in December at this rate

In QF's defence, that'd still be infinitely faster than it took them to get the Auckland lounge sorted.

I think at this stage QF is well aware of how much we like movies but quietly tolerate our little hobby because it still produces more bookings. I still have unused movie tickets from two past promotions. As long as the cinemas don’t become overcrowded I doubt things will change. Maybe if they eventually overhaul the very outdated movie ticket booking system that will ruin things.
Tomorrow I’ll buy enough movie tickets for the next year.

It’s only one of many changes coming whose start and end dates haven’t been confirmed,

New status tier threshilds

SC rollover

SC on the Ground

End of PC

End of GT

TBH, the later the better for some of those!

I suspect it’s a very tiny fraction of punters. Even smaller subset who know the cheapest movie screenings.
