A couple of beers at the Raffles will dent a hundred dollar note......

As I discovered, you should be using your Citibank card at raffles, not notes, to get the 25% discount.

Medhead now I can rush off to the Raffles.

You had all better get out there to buy wine ahead of Wayne's new levy (not a tax). It looks like a dead certainty.
That would be listed as one of his "savings measures".

Sad times... Luckily my cellar is already overflowing with wine, so can probably slow down on the purchasing...

Received a Jetstar voucher to the value of $25 today... no word on why, but I did submit positive feedback from my flights last week?

I think this flight is going to end my recent luck with op ups:
J0 C0 D0 I0 Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 S9 N9

Oh well.

I hear your pain I have this to face: J0 C0 D0 I0 Y9 B9 H9 K0 M0 L0 G0 E0

Mind you QF has been pretty good with the old shadow.

Tony Roma's is about $38. Hippo Creek $45-$60, Chesters in the Swan Valley $45, Raffles $2,000,000...

For a piece of meat? No thanks....

For the BNE peeps, the Flounge only opens at 5am. QP until it opens.
A server has just gone around the Flounge, seems the barista is working in the J Lounge. She took orders for real coffees from those who wanted them.

Maybe an opportunity for DJ to set a little coffee stall up at the entrance to the QF F lounge!!

Good luck... Last time I had this config it went to a 332 with Skybed MkI

Was an interesting flight - An an awesome crew kept my glass well-topped up, while the gentleman next to me (grey executive) didn't have any service items at all. He just read his audit papers until final descent when he decided to have a chat.

I don't think I've flown in J on a 332 (J* StarClass excluded) - been in Skybed MkI J on the 333 though.

The 1-2-2 767s have special meaning for me. My first QF flight in economy was on one (2001) and my first QF business class flight was on the same aircraft a few years later.

In an interesting turn of events it's now:

TBH it could have been either a 332 or 333... My memory says 332, but it isn't 100% given the quantity of vino consumed

Last time I had that I missed the connection and ended on a 734 instead :!:

Now for all you kerosine heads out there this is a pretty good video of an F-16 and a P-38.

Bill I think that comes under the heading #firstworldproblem.

 

[samh004]

Well the P-38 is a nice aircraft
