However, I'm still hoping to be able to make it and I've initiated an investigation into award availability (unfortunately involving a long-haul TG segment, albeit new style business).
As this will be a last minute decision based on how the thesis progresses I would be very grateful if one of you could tell me when the latest date to confirm/bail out would be. I would arrive firday afternoon/leave sunday and would like to participate in all the dinners and stuff.
Hoping to make it!

And yes, I have been cleared without any bottle consumption since that last memorable Charlotte Hotels.
Note: First post says dp. KiwiFlyer posted jk. So I thought next one would be something like cv, ph, h, etc etc...

No worry. We are just kidding. It will be too troublesome to bring along the Fauchon.

i had two plans.
first buy some for the japanese market limited editions of this icecream. i checked the hp and it looked great.
or rob the SQ stock of the ice , this would be the easier method
i think most of you will fly in on SQ so you will get it anyway? correct?

same for the North American based. I think from the SQ forum, it seems I am the only one who always screaming take SQ11 please... which is going through NRT. Even when I fly UA, I would prefer to have a connection in NRT instead of HKG.

I"d much rather connect through NRT, whether on SQ or UA. Then again, when on UA, perhaps it's because my favorite crews fly that route...
