Too much time on your hands,

I don’t think anyone correctly guessed the Batik one back in 2020, probably because they were mostly Indonesian domestic (with some Malaysian routes).

They are a much more frequent visitor to Australia these days, especially as Malindo (Malaysian/Indonesian joint venture) has rebranded as Batik Malaysia.

Let’s see what I pull out of the cutlery draw this evening!

Crikey - this is the most ozbargain thread I've seen on AFF

I souvenired a blanket from someone else's seat on a Y Garuda flight in 2008 which I leave in the car as it's very useful for sunsets at the beach and the like. I always get a case of the guilts when I see it! Will have to lift my game here.

I wouldn’t feel guilty… it would have long been replaced by now! New design. So it would have been thrown out/recycled anyway

Same for cutlery.

I acquired some PK cutlery back in the 70s and my father made me return it 'to teach me a lesson about honesty'. Didn't stop him from acquiring a huge collection of hotel 'Do not Disturb' signs that still sit on the back of the bathroom door years after his death...

Its genetic
I found an ashtray from the Cipriani ‘acquired’ by my parents. I also like using DO NOT DISTURB signs on bathrooms… although less now that tech involved

I think this thread is going to become my favourite on AFF so we need to keep it going. I'm now looking around to see what else I have borrowed flogged. Game on.

Oh. A white enamel pen from Burj Al Arab afternoon tea.

Batik one back in 2020,

I would not have guessed Batik.
Any airline associated with Lion air would not have real spoons.....

 

[MARTINE]

A favorite is a large hand blown glass petrie dish (including lid) from a hotel in Taormina; each night, it would arrive with special chocolates in it for turn down. It now houses ‘collected’ spoons.

 

[I love to travel]

The pens from the Hotel Beacon is New York are great

 

[Buzzard]

Geez, I thought I was doing well with a QF napkin.
I do have a LH cigarette lighter but I'm not sure how my mum acquired it.
+1 did bring home an entire zoo from a cruise ship.

I don't remember you flogging having that falling into your bag!

Whilst not travel related, MrP's first cutlery set when he moved into his own place came with my complements via Monash University union cafe. A spoon here, a fork there and hey presto - a setting for 4.

 

[Pushka]

I don't remember you flogging having that falling into your bag!

I wondered if you were with me so clearly not so must have been the first time with Mr.P.

I think now I may have asked if I could keep it when I was with you and he said no. Clearly too many been flogged lost.

I stayed at Hotel Beacon, but have no recollection of the pens. Did I miss something special?

They look great and have a fine tip. A joy to write with.

There’s this weird disturbance in the space time continuum where smaller spoons seem to teleport or somehow fall into my carry on luggage.

So here you go @Quickstatus, let’s see how you go with these.



Relatively straightforward for most of the airlines, but not helped by the image looking like it’s been taken by a potato…
