KUL-SIN lounge crawl 9 June 2019

[jswong]

I am on QF36 on the way home, with an upgrade request in.

Now to wait for an MH sale for the intra-Asia flights.

If QF36 sticks with an A380 I wonder how many AFFers we can stack into Emerald City?

What a dilemma. I had put in for a J-F upgrade but cancelled it to be sociable

But if you get an F upgrade I could have your J seat!

 

[RooFlyer]

Oh. Should I put in for a J-F upgrade then?

I am antisocial my F upgraded is already in.

But if you get an F upgrade I could have your J seat!

Maybe this time you can get my J seat, if the upgrade comes through .

Have booked QF36 for 09 June and gotten my seat in Emerald city. My preferred seat was automatically selected for me.

That's what points and status are for.

Now to plan a convoluted routing to board my flight home.

 

[Hvr]

Leave approved from 27 May 19 until 10 June 19 so can have some fun planning my travel.

It helps that I have >500 hours leave to use.

<checks seat in Emerald City already selected ... still sticking ... relaxes ...>

So I've booked myself in 1A on MH623 and 1A on MH610 that departs around the same time as QF36 on the 9th.

Hopefully nothing comes up and you can make this one.

.........I'm sure if we get a final list a week or so prior you can name all the WP1's who will be in SIN at the same time and would like a large space together.

I had the rare occasion to call SST the other day and while I was on the phone I asked if something like this could be arranged. As you suggested the advice was to call a week before with the names of the P1s and the total PAX numbers. Advised they would put through a request to the SIN lounge team to reserve space. There was the caveat 'it would be up to the lounge staff and there were no guarantees', at least we can give it a shot.

Jessica, not too sure what you think of a US lounge crawl? Since AA has invested in upgrading their flagship lounges. Now I'm based in LA & comparing LAX AA Admirals Lounge to QF J it's pretty much neck to neck. Then possibly to SC run to DFW, ORD, MIA, JFK to see the other flagship lounges & possibly other Amex Centurion lounges.

Cheers

I try to keep them in SE Asia so it is not much of a trip to do the return in a weekend. When we went as far as NRT I think there were only six crawlers compared to the usual dozen or so.

You are welcome to propose one for LAX. I might be able to manage that in a weekend!

I’d love to do LAX crawl but flight is too long to do in Y and finding multiple award seats for specific dates in J or F will be a challenge.

 

[ithongy]

Not too sure how much of a discount QF will give if traveling in a group of 10 or more.

We wouldn't all have to be going to AU to access the various OW lounges, surely?

 

[RooFlyer]

Dreaming of a trans-US lounge crawl LAX (including Champagne breakfast, QF F lounge; opens at 6:30am; before moving to T4) - MIA (late Champagne lunch in AC 'F' dining area) - JFK (Champagne dinner in AC 'F' dining area).

Presumably by the time the stagger of AFFers reaches JFK, word would have got round for them to stock up some extra Champagne.

I'm a definite no for this now - Elton John kicks off UK leg of farewell tour at The 1st Central County Ground | Sussex Cricket

Surely that's just his first farewell tour?

Usually seems to be the case with these artists, doesn't it? Ties in with Mrs Flashback's birthday though so tickets to the show (and then a trip to Greece) already locked in!
