I better pile on here also, adding my congratulations and also my thanks to the regulars here. I'm flying in F lhr-las-lhr (for Ł2k!!) and the outbound gets me to gold for the first time. Best part is the inbound is 1 day after my tier point reset so I get off to a flying start on the requalification too

Jet lagged fare browsing finding the 2k fare was luck
lots of calculator work was planning
return date was stretched by 3 days when I realised it was just after my tp year reset -and it was luck that I noticed it at 4am!

No TP runs for me. Made this one the old fashioned way. And the Gold Card too ;-)

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be............
There are just so many Golds nowadays.
When I was Gold, it was worth having (e.g. Entry in to Concorde room) ...............now??

Hey enjoy! ^
The terrace at the Flounge is great when its nice and quiet and in the evening. The problem is when we are there, the pesky planes keep me distracted and I never get to eat my food or drink my beer! Thats probably a good thing tho...
I also prefer d and f btw - unsure why tho too!

I knew what it stood for - just thought it came about on journeys from northern to southern hemisphere. So heading South sun would be on you in morning but not in afternoon...

IIRC, it originated with P&O (Peninsular and Orient) ships to India and the Far East ... an East/West route, of course. I see what you're thinking regarding morning and afternoon sun, though, on a North/South voyage.
