    My Imminent Departure BBQ

    Thinking about secret gates, there's not one from Rosser Park is there? I was hoping to walk, but if I've got to go the long way, I'll drive.

    Hertz #1 / QFF Pricing in the US

    I went with Alamo in the end and will use them again for sure.

    My Imminent Departure BBQ

    Sorry to hear you're leaving Sam. I'm just on the other side of the park from you and I'd love to attend.

    "Welcome aboard sir , your the only one travelling with us tonight"

    1 of 13 on a 737 OOL-PMR. Freedom Air (I think) had cancelled NZ-Fiji flights due to some crisis and put the jet into TT service, at short notice.

    iPhone 4S - have you ordered one? Has it arrived yet?

    The 4S has finally arrived. MrsS will be pleased! I spoke to Apple regarding the process and let them know that, as a first time Apple Online Store buyer, I couldn't see any reason to buy direct again in the future or recommend it to friends.

    Dj 9214 bne-ool

    It was quite a long time ago, but I think it was Qantas Link. We had to walk a long way in the terminal and then outside to a twin prop plane, so probably QantasLink. As for timing, it wasn't long after I shifted to the Coast and that was 1998, so soon after then.

    Dj 9214 bne-ool

    Actually, I also want to add that this isn't the first time I've had a BNE-OOL sector. Years ago I was on an RTW, or similar, originating from OOL and to meet the requirements I had to end up there too. MY flight back in to Australia landed in Brisbane and I took the first leg of a BNE-OOL-NTL...

    Dj 9214 bne-ool

    That crossed my mind too :-) However, when I had earlier asked if I would get SC for MEL-SYD + SYD-OOL, I was told no, MEL-OOL as one journey.

    Dj 9214 bne-ool

    I didn't get the front seat, another of the pax got that. :) However, we did get premium service. There were about 10-15 people affected and they put a large bus on, but a separate, smaller bus for the premium and status pax. We got a nice new vehicle and took off before the others who were...

    Dj 9214 bne-ool

    With the difficulties at Sydney last night, my DJ flights MEL-SYD-OOL, got translated to MEL-BNE-OOL, with the last leg being by bus, but I still got a boarding pass for it. I've never had a BP for something like that before, so a little novelty. Turns out the bus ride was actually great...

    iPhone 4S - have you ordered one? Has it arrived yet?

    Wasn't expecting special treatment, just the same treatment. Why shouldn't an order direct to Apple a few minutes after announcement be delivered the same day that telcos are delivering theirs?

    iPhone 4S - have you ordered one? Has it arrived yet?

    MrsM is a little disappointed that direct preorders have been beaten by telco orders. It would have been nice to have her birthday present to show off tomorrow. Still philosophical though. Perhaps TNT will deliver Sat AM.

    iPhone 4S - have you ordered one? Has it arrived yet?

    Status updated to Shipping. Should be here Friday morning. Edit: Hmm, maybe not. Tracking page says shipping from Shenzen. Which is not in NSW or QLD.

    Printing Virgin Australia boarding passes on google chrome

    Virgin - any update on this. Very frustrating just now to not be able to print the boarding pass and then to change to Explorer and be told I've got to go a counter. I'm assuming this means I have to be at the airport that little bit earlier still for my 6:05am flight tomorrow to meet with the...

    iPhone 4S - have you ordered one? Has it arrived yet?

    It's an already delayed birthday present for MrsM, but she's not too worried. One of the MissMs is very keen to experience the Apple Store line-up thing and would be at Robina at midnight in a heartbeat. I'm still happy to wait for the courier. As for being in the country, there's a fair bit...

    iPhone 4S - have you ordered one? Has it arrived yet?

    I've ordered a 16GB Black 4S for my wife. She'll pop her Amaysim SIM into it. MrsM is upgrading from her Nokia E71. The order was placed at about 5:45 QLD time last Friday and its status is currently Preparing for Shipment (ships by October 14th). It would be disappointing not to get hers on...

    $ per SC - it pays to be a OOL DJ flyer

    Sush Liam, don't let the cat out of the bag, we're doing well. :)

    $ per SC - it pays to be a OOL DJ flyer

    Thanks for confirming that. A handy little earner! It and a return to Sydney a week later will get me silver for another year. Hopefully I'll be able to use DJ instead of Jetstar for my NZ flights this year and finally make gold.

    $ per SC - it pays to be a OOL DJ flyer

    For PE MEL-OOL, the earn is 60SC, right? The distance is 845 miles / 1352 km, which makes it Zone 2. The T&C at the footer of the page includes this: ^^When flying with Virgin Australia, a Saver Fare = Discount Economy, a Flexi Fare = Full Fare Economy and a Premium Fare = Business. I'm...
