Well, they do say that every cloud has a silver lining :mrgreen:

The words "doing the job properly" could be perceived as an implicit approval of the practice. Note that I said perceived - it may not (and obviously does not from your later post) mean that you actually think this sort of thing is a good idea.

Congrats Bob, and welcome to the club sent by mental projection using the untapped power of the mind

Continuing in the same vein.. A polar bear walks into a bar, and says to the bartender "I'll have a gin ........................................................... and tonic." The bartender says "Sure thing, but why the big pause?" The polar bear replies "Dunno. I was born with them."

I really enjoyed the night. It was great to meet some fellow AFFers, and put faces to names. I must admit that I was a little seedy this morning as well - but I'm blaming it on the walk home from the train station ;)

Reminds me of an email a colleague sent out to the rest of the team a while back. "I'm on the 4.15 flight back to Brisbane, and I'll be in the Melbourne Qantas Club from about 3. I don't like to drink alone - but I will if I have to."

According to the AA site, they are also in MIA and JFK.

Thanks Dave - I assumed that the status bonus kicked in after the flight. BTW, the only reason I included MEL was to clarify the difference between AA and non-AA sectors.

OK - thanks. I think I understand how the challenge conditions work, but if someone could check my logic, I would appreciate it. So, assuming I start my DONE4 by heading from Aus to the US to pick up the AA codeshare, and go BNE-MEL-LAX. As I understand it, the "earn" would be BNE-MEL...

Thanks for that NM. I did realise that the WP card could be used, but I was just interested in whether you could get a BP with the slightly ridiculous combination of no status / top tier. I've got a trip to SCL in October, and I'm thinking of going the long way round (DONE4), so I'll be...

I've been following this thread with interest - I'm QFF LTG, and it looks like QFF just comped me to another year of WP (currently 380 SC short with anniversary at the end of September). I have a question for those who have moved to AA. If I join the AAA program while still a QFF WP, but...

My first year was like that too. In fact, I was 3 days from the end of the year, and 15 SC short - so I grabbed the cheapest return flight to ADL that I could find. I missed out on WP a couple of years previously because a work trip to KGI got pushed out by a couple of weeks - so no way was I...

On the subject of comp extensions, I think I just got one (or at least in the last week or so). I'm still not sure how this works though. I read in another thread that they look back over the last 3 years activity and base their decision on that. If so, that would explain it, as my SC...

S318 of the Criminal Code (WA) refers to serious assaults, which seem to carry a greater maximum penalty It might also be considered an aggravating factory when it comes to sentencing - S7(1) Sentencing Act 1995 (WA)

You don't need to to OLCI to check / change your seat - There is a "Select Seats" option in the "Manage your Booking" area.

Re: Green lasers pointed at planes in/out of SYD tonight I think the answer to this question is contained in the question itself. There are people out there (and no, this is not a homeland security rant) who think this sort of thing is "cool / rad / <choose your own description>. From my...

Yes, I saw that thread - all I can say is that this routing is either (somehow) not affected by the rule change, or the OW RTW plan / book engine has not been updated to reflect the rule, because that's where this itinerary was created - and it came up as valid / ready to book. **Edit** Sorry...

Its possible - I think the trick is to avoid intra-Europe - pretty much only J available there. SYD-JNB QF63 08/10/10 JNB-LHR-TLV BA54, BA165 08/10/10 TLV-LHR BA164 10/10/10 LHR-JFK BA175 11/10/10 EWR-ORD AA3768 12/10/10 ORD-MIA AA2004 13/10/10 MIA-DCA AA1268 14/10/10...

Same applies to the JASA's. The only ~30k flights are now direct. Via MEL or SYD, then cheapest seems to now be ~49K. Now I'm kicking myself for not booking earlier this week (I thought I'd wait to see what was happening with work first) :evil::evil:

Probably not much help to you nlagalle, but for those who have been WP for a couple of years, you should be able to grab a few to keep in reserve. A couple of years back, I noticed that my original issue of WP tags were basically trashed due to wear and tear. I had to make a number of calls to...
