Random Rants

Yeah, we went home and had a pretty decent day. This is the first flight I've had cancelled on me in years, and given the flooding and meteorological mayhem we've had the last couple of days, it wasn't a huge surprise. 12 hours later, I'm sitting at the airport with a bit of deja vu, though.
-
What I find shocking is the lack of notice. They have a pretty good idea what's going on a lot further out than 2 hours for a cancelation. Delays fair enough, can't be helped, but to cancel an entire plane is a pretty serious call. Sounds like it was weather driven, having not read much about it, but have seen photos of cars floating down the street, surely they would have known there's a high likelihood of cancelling…..
Flight related, in a few days I have a 25 minute transfer @ Haneda airport. 25 minutes to get luggage between 2 planes let alone Mrs Snowy and I has me packing it. Qantas have assured me that it's a legal flight with the required times between flights etc etc....Our plane up to Sapporo today landed 25 minutes late :|. Will be calling Qantas tomorrow some time to see what my options are........
Somewhat related to thread topic. I was offered a "J Class" Upgrade for $100 on the flight up. Said YES PLEASE. Status credits alone is worth more than $100. Turns out AFTER I had the money on the table, he had no seats in J :(.
-
yeah snowy you had better change, 25minutes is too short for transfers.
i had a scoot flight to singapore from perth delayed on me for 18hours due to their systems glitch. i had another flight in 48hours to taiwan with singapore airlines. luckily for me, it didnt affect my schedule. though like giles mentioned. i'd rather all systems go, than having something unpleasant happening.
-
i'm sorry but if i've to be brutally honest. qantas has been in shits and is shit for the way they've been operating. alan joyce is just sitting at his office collecting his fat pay checks and yet no 'saving' life for the airline has proven effective. well that counts as a rant.
i just hope everything goes well for you on that day. think of it as the amazing race.

Had study leave next week to escape from work and prepare for my exam on friday, which if i don't pass, will mean that two years of hard work has been flushed down the toilet. I now have to work for most of the week. Fuck. My. Life.

Same for anything hyped. Supreme especially. What were you trying to cop?
-
was trying to cop the asics x afew gel lyte 3 koi and the jordan 1 chicago 2015. one of my local stores in perth had the 30pairs of the koi. however i got there just a min too late and there werent any 8-11s left. people started queueing at 5pm the previous day. and for the jordans they weren't released in oz. so had no choice but to try and get both online but failed.

@Cutlasshound Thanks for asking!
