Oh well, the gods certainly werent smiling. My waitlist upgrade for the return leg didnt come through either. And to top it off, the gods didnt put a priority tag on my baggage so after clearing immigration in record time, I had to wait another 30 mins for my bag.

My final disappointment has now come in the realisation that whereas a domestic B earns full economy SCs, its international brother is only classified as a discout fare. Therefore instead of earning 100 SCs, I only got 50, just about killing off my hopes of making WP this time round. I realise that rules is rules an all that but find it strange that a 1 hour shuttle to Melbourne generates only 5 SCs less than a 9 hour long haul to BKK.

Right, whinge off my chest. Time for a few consoling HPs.
