Meh, that sort of trouble is reserved for the folks back of the plane. J ain't be suffering disruptions like that. Another glass, please...

Platinum for both Fri + Sat dinners, please. I'll send a DM to NM for diets. Will skip the Saturday daytime activities, despite itching to do a flight sim. Next time...

Friday casual lunch (not a part of the official AFF program but a good way to get to know some early birds): 1 pm at Bird's Nest, West End. I've booked a table for 6 but will monitor this thread and add seats, if needed. If you have any dietary requirements, please check their menu. If it looks...

And if you get hungry midway through sailing on CityCats, you can hop off at Teneriffe or Bulimba and explore the nice eateries in those areas. Or continue to Eat Street in Hamilton.

And you can protect the entry to the pocket much better and notice a lot easier if someone makes an attempt to pinch it. Often, when unsure of my surroundings, I keep my hand in the pocket to cover the wallet.

Platinum. VA973 on Thu + VA978 on Sun. Staying with the family. I'll attend the Friday night welcome and what other low-key social happenings might be going on. Anyone interested on a lunch on Friday, let me know. It'd be great to do a pre-start.

Oops! That's just an economy booking for 20/10, including $15 for an exit row. Must be all the AFF'ers coming back from the meetup... 😏

I was hoping something that would frame the 'soon' since it's a rather relative term. 😊

From gold > bronze > now back to gold. The anticipated work commitments have disappeared and I'm free as a bird to travel. Likely arrival on Thursday evening, departure Sunday evening. Splitting the time between this event, kids and friends. When's the program expected out, please? It'd help...

I usually carry my phone, passport, BP and wallet to the buffet, bathroom, etc. Laptop goes back into the bag ("out of sight, out of mind"). But I do leave my bags behind to keep the table reserved. Or, if for some reason I decide to take the bags with me, I'll then also risk losing my seat and...

What Seat0B wrote about Prague is how I see Vienna, another highly revelled European city. As soon as I stepped away from the tourist focal points, it became a lot more enjoyable. Eat where they locals eat, visit the smaller museums, find the Christmas markets where the locals socialise, and...

It won't need any IT but can be run on a manual process, just like JL and CX do it: have an agent comb the queues and guide people into the right ones. It's about the want, not the tools. The tools will just automate parts of it and take manual effort off the process.

And hopefully a review of the initial checklist used since it didn't pick up the prevailing problem. Lessons learnt and continuous improvement as you go...

Or simply, fly enough. You can maintain WP on a single return flight a year, or wear your bum on the seat year round in the triangle and remain PS. The more boardings you have, the more you know to appreciate when it works well. 😎

Personally, I'd take 7F for now. It's tucked in a little, giving you more privacy.

The metro seems to be a bit of a victim of its own success: very crowded at the peak hours, including on weekend days. But that's a really good thing! Last weekend I checked out the new stations. A train to Sydenham, then hopping onto the metro and off at every station through to Crows Nest...

While not bankable outright, perhaps they see a positive nudge in loyalty as potential future sticky income which could be worth more than the fare charged on an individual flight. Besides, granting me a few Y -> PE or Y -> J upgrades on long-haul has made me want those seats over the rear...

"Never say never" But a few suppliers are in the "only if I really must" group. Like JQ for flights and I don't particularly fancy BA either. I'm often willing to give a second chance, sometimes even a third but after that it needs a lot of consistently positive and reliable hearsay before I'd...

At the same time, the family certainly was aware that they are on different groups. You'd think that the group 1 pax would also realise that the process has changed recently. It's pretty old school to presume that while they could all have walked through before, that the updated process would by...

And you don't panic because you can pack in <30 mins and are ready to go... 😎
