No problem with 'French' Champagne ... I will get my laser printer onto this today.
They may be a SLIGHT difference to the boring olive green label design that Thai use, but where was progress without some new ideas?
And that totally silly idea of serving wine 11 years old is just so dumb. The stuff is probably stale.
I'll aim at the fresher end of the spectrum, like 2015 Vintage. @:-)

I've got the startings of two one-way award bookings: from IAD to SYD via LAX, arriving SYD the morning of the 21st, then returning to IAD from MEL (again via LAX) on the 28th. I'll work on this more as the time gets closer, at the very least trying to make it all the way to AKL on the first award. I guess this means you can probably upgrade me to platinum.

Anyone looking for a cheap and quick Q300 trip between Auckland and Keri-Keri?
There's a sale on for another 15 hours as i post where fares can be had from NZD63 (NZD73 with checked baggage).

I wish i had a day to fly down to Wellington. seems wide open
*EDIT* I ended up booking round trip refundable fare. With the CC booking fee plus the Forex fee on my CC I ended up paying $200USD. I had to ignore the cheapest as bags were not included. It was only about $60 USD price difference from there to get the refundable rate. I figure it was worth it as it includes SDC (no up-fare), Cancel if i decided to go with ground transport, 2 free checked bags and advanced seat assignment. Expensive considering i just flew US Transcon to for under $200 just 2 weeks ago. Probably my most expensive cost per mile ever.
I'm booked on:
NZ2024 Fri 22 May AKL-KKI D: 3:55PM
NZ8677 Mon 25 May KKI-AKL D: 6:50AM
I still need to figure out my CNS-AKL flight but otherwise all set

There is something there called "send e-mail to ozstamps" when you click on his screen name in the post above yours. You don't see that?

Anyway back to business. ...
I should have mentioned that sale yesterday (now finished) had some pretty good prices for all of NZ around the OzFest period.
If you might wish to have a look around NZ before or after OzFest, it can pay to keep a look out on that page link I posted going forward as that where they can show up.
