Can we ban people like this from traveling? LOL.
Thanks UAL250. Indeed. Still trying to wrap my head around that one.

Thanks diningdecadence. Very light load with only 206 pax. We wound up with a total of only 5 in First. The two last day additions were in 1F and 3F. 4A was a pleasant guy from Canberra who was also on a mileage ticket which he booked about 4 months ago. So apparently zero revenue First pax on our flight.

Thank you ANZ787900. Merry Christmas to you as well. The weather in Queenstown is spectacular. A little slow this morning from sampling all the wonderful Otago wines last night.
