The AFF Hall of Shame (AKA The Confessional)

[RooFlyer]

Forgive me, AFF, for I have sinned.

I had a QF business booking HBA-SYD-CHC-MEL-HBA but the SYD-CHC leg was cancelled and I had to call up to arrange an alternative.

The very nice Plat line lady tapped it in and looked for alternatives ... hmmmm she says. Its giving me Hobart - Melbourne - Perth - Brisbane - Christchurch . I guess you don't want the scenic route?

To my shame!! I said "I don't mind scenic routes, but not in this case ... lets keep looking ..."

It was only after I got off the call I thought What have I done!!! and a wave of AFF shame came over me - just think of the SCs! It was only that I didn't need the extra SCs that I didn't call back to take the 'scenic route' (plus a red-eye, and abt 18 hours extra).

Anyone else willing to 'fess up?

I have nothing to confess however some on AFF may consider my preference to fly direct rather than connect a sin

Unfriended...

So this begs the question, what routing did you accept

 

[serfty]

I have kept the faith - had a MEL-AKL in I class XLD on me today - auto rebooked 11 hours earlier.

I called and was able to re-route MEL-xSYD-AKL, only leaving 6 hours earlier, still in I class.

With that, I've now bookings to reach the capped 500 WP SC's to carry forward to my next year.

 

[Kiwi_Flyer]

Ha I know someone else who earlier today was offered WLG-MEL-PER-SYD to replace a cancelled WLG-SYD.

HBA-xSYD-xBNE-CHC; I declined HBA-MEL-CHC option, so I'm not totally without a chance of redemption.

You mean into Minsk and then out of Minsk?

You mean into Minsk and then out of Minsk?

Well I have flown into and out of Minsk, but alas without the escort of a MiG.

And the FR flights were for the rather obscure RYG-NCL and ZAD-STN sectors. Looking back...a different world!

 

[Berlin]

I have flown Ryanair...twice.

I don't find anything too bad with this. As you say yourself, there are very odd routes in Europe when it's indeed very tempting to use Ryanair or Easyjet (if I had a choice, I'd select the latter any day...) over a long-routed zig zag flight across Europe to one of the major airlines' hubs and back and pay about ten times as much for the joy.

Unless of course you need status credits, that would easily excuse the more complicated and expensive option

You mean into Minsk and then out of Minsk?

Maybe it was an erotic journey from Milan to Minsk? Rochelle Rochelle.

I flew JQ once and forgot to add a pack to earn FF and SC's

Is one of those shameful events more shameful that the other?

Mods should suspend you for a week for this

You are partially pardoned for flying Jetstar if you take a QFF bundle you know this from the AFF bible

 

[Seat0B]

Too soon?

 

[JohnM]

B-b-but the AFF koran prohibits flying Jetstar in the first place.

Forgive me, for I have sinned.

Last year, I flew economy.
