I agree. A kit of amenities, but an amenity kit Working from home day:rolleyes:

We have a better game than covid numbers. Its called "Shift Responsibility". I know that other countries play this well and we are just getting started but Winston Peters, deputy PM and NZ first leader ( currently not rating enough votes to get his party back into parliament states that there...

Anyone know if they were the 100 year special edition PJ's or jut the regular?

What a great thread. So much fun looking over good fortune. Its great to see the upgrades were unexpected and not schemed over like that cough who put a moonboot on in Singapore to scam an upgrade. Or the people who are in the lobby yelling about the most trivial issues. We had another...

Oops, it was interesting watching the news about aged care facilities. Some of these facilities have been proactive and now have a good store of PPE. Some Health Boards are more generous with providing ppe, and some aged care facilities are screaming they have nothing and are getting no help...

The first international upgrade is always the best. Got to BKK on way to LHR, checked in and walked off. About 5 min later I heard my name on the speakers asking to return to checkin. Being new to flying I had no idea, but got a shiny new boarding pass to J and a visit to the lounge. So happy...

The view from Auckland. There have been contradictory calls last week about Covid testing. The ministry of health asking for more people to test if they had runny nose etc. But local hospital policy is just test if you are at high risk of exposure, ie travelled or contact with a traveler. Last...

Some will not bother to fly while there is no service and no lounge. Hopefully an incentive to open up, in a safe and cuddly manner. On the cuddly note, making sure everyone is comfortable.....is painting a QF jet in indigenous colours the same as blackface now?

there is so much confusion about gloves and masks and covid. A recent European study looked at the risk of infection if you were in an infected household. They came up with a figure of 20% chance. At the same time we know covid can be passed on by minimal contact such as using a contaminated...

AIDS hit a long time ago. I cannot access all the reports from media at the time, but I recall the very few patients having AIDS being placed in negative pressure rooms and full PPE being required. Privacy was often given a lesser priority as it was thought staff needed to know who the infected...

Covid is not a simple condition to fix. Since it appeared we have been overwhelmed with scientific reports on the virus. Many papers are not peer reviewed and are being rushed out to help other scientists put pieces into the puzzle. So there has been some confusion in the media about mutations...

Well, as at this moment....I called a friend at Air NZ. His belief is yes they can transit. But....things are changing

I’m glad your safe and home

Did you send Jeeves over to Auckland by sailboat recently. My local just sold a man $2000 of gin. seriously thinking ahead

Hi Stevo did you end up going?

Get him home. If he gets to LAX and VA cant get him on, what are the alternatives for that day or next day? QF? AA? Anyone else flying LAX to anywhere in Aus that day if he misses the VA flight? Argue about costs with anyone left standing next month

Will you be let into SIN?

2 tourists arrived into NZ yesterday and went to a hostel, booking a private room. The hostel manager talked to them about when they arrived and their plans for self isolation. When they couldn't give a plan the ministry of health were rung, the police turned up and they are now in enforced...

After the first 3 days of any isolation, with a supply of Rockford wines, will it matter:cool:

For entering the country, the theory is that if you do not have symptoms of a virus ( cough, fever, sore throat, lethargy) you will not be contagious. A person could catch COVID in LAX yesterday and it could take 7-30 days to become "active" with that person then spreading the virus. So they...
