Flying tomorrow though.

:smile:

Flew to San Fran and Orlando a week after 9/11. Was searched before I even checked in

That was due to the head on you though pal I suspect.

Aer Lingus Gold Circle is now rebranding as AerClub and linking up with Avios. Not sure yet whether any current Avios points built up can be used in AerClub. Knowing the tightness of the Gold Circle, probably not, and I seriously doubt any UK/European flights taken will build up points. Wait and see but donā€™t hold your breath.

I took from the email I received that youā€™d get points based on cost going forward rather than a flat amount for UK/European/Transatlantic flight. So if i spend ā‚¬500 on last minute flights to London Iā€™ll get the same amount of points as I would for a ā‚¬500 flight to NYC.

Itā€™s encouraging that youā€™ll be able to earn points through other services as is done in most other countries. It would be a good way to top up point balances for flights/upgrades etc.

Will we lose the book a economy flight, upgrade it to business and get a free business class flight perk which allowed two business class return flights for price of an economy flight the top tier of Gold Circle got. Wonderful benefit.

I suspect that will be gone. I sadly never achieved that level.

As long as I keep priority check-in, fast track security, priority boarding and lounge access Iā€™ll be reasonably happy.

Rip their business cards in half when they present then to you to lay down a market

Smile, nod, stare intently at business card, look up, smile, nod, stare back down at business card, nod approvingly, smile, stare back at business card, coo at business card, smile, nod.

Fucking oddballs.

Same with Mauritian c**nts and the smell off the bastards.

Informative rating. The normal Asian smell or something more sinister?

Take the business card with both hands, making sure to congratulate them on the performance of the Japanese rugby team at the recent Rugby World Cup.

Donā€™t forget to mix your drinks.

This thing is a fucking shambles. I applied over 6 weeks ago with what I was informed was a compliant photo. Two weeks later I got a response to say that the application was invalid because I had a non compliant photo because there was a shadow under my eyes - you endure what Iā€™ve endured in the last few years and see if you donā€™t have a shadow under your eyes you cunt - and that the application fee would be refunded ā€œin due courseā€. ā€œIn due courseā€ is now 32 days and counting, in case anyone is wondering.

Youā€™d be better if cashing in the points for Arnotts vouchers. Rinsed them for ā‚¬600 last year
