Far out, I’ve done it again. In the uber to HBA for trip to YUL this morning at 0445 I realised I’d left my coat at home…it’s sub 10C in Montreal….idiot…

Not really a mistake but my AC flight went technical so I’ve had 12 hrs in LAX with an exciting ORD—YUL trip to come…

My latest mistake.
Im a once/twice a year traveller. Rarely buy duty free at airports.

Was at changi, transit flight was 810pm, ticket said boarding 730pm

Left lounge at about 730pm, didnt realise gate was a good 10 mins walk

Walked past duty free store, saw a bottle of alcohol on sale, purchased it, took about 5-10mins. Didnt know they send the stuff to the gate, As I left store, announcement calling my name to hurry up.

Hurry to gate, get a call on my phone from staff as I arrive at gate.

Tell them I have duty free to collect, get told nothing has arrived and were closing gates now.

Definitely lesson learnt, even the flight attendant said she had never seen anyone not get their duty free due to not arriving

The dramas I get myself into

Currently on QF112 AKL to PER. Had previously gotten off MIA to JFK on AA then transited JFK to AKL on QF4. After those two flights especially after the 16 hr from
JFK I was feeling quite exhausted. And now I just realised I left my M5 iPad 13 with pencil pro in the seat pocket in front on QF4. I was in full zombie mode. I have find my iPad turned on and I can see it at AKL Int. Oops!!

Staff just said go see baggage services in PER and they will reach out to AKL baggage service and get it sent over. Hears hoping….it’s only 3 months old. Sigh…..

They prolly shouldn’t have sold it to you IIRC the cut off for liquid duty free at SIN is 60 mins? (maybe longer now?)
