Checking e-tickets

I booked Dragonbaby's tickets to LAX earlier today ( after a fair bit of aggro with FC that was eventually resolved by a nice supervisor who made amends for the debacle that had been caused).
E tickets were with me within minutes but unfortunately with the wrong date on one ( I had double checked dates before I'd ended the call). Another phone call saw the promise that they'd be re- issued and that it would probably be Monday before I got them.
Moral of the story check tickets immediately.
Tickets however were re-issued this afternoon .
DB doesn't know I've booked her in UC on the return as a surprise .

What a lovely surprise for Dragonbaby. I bet you half wish you could be there to see her face when she discovers the Upgrade.

The dear baby dragon does not know how beneficially she's been treated! I agree, though, always check your eticket. I was once in Palm Springs enjoying the pool and shall I say several lunch martinis when a CDC arrived to take me to LAX and back to LHR, to my surprise, I was expecting it a day later. I was not packed, and no way could we have made the flight and it cost me a lot ("LOT") to correct the situation.

Lesson learned.

Thanks hiljil I'll probably give her the e-tickets tomorrow ( we're meeting her for lunch).
I told her the trip was do-able in Y ( financially) but as a reward for getting through 3 years of uni we thought it would be a nice end to her trip ( she's flying to Hawaii in Y too lol ).I opted for a combi fare ( as opposed to the Y - Y reward fare I'd planned) which actually was good value for money.
slinks, I dread to think how much that mistake cost.........

He probably made it back by drinking his weight in booze!

Now the important question.

Does DB use packing cubes or not?

Funnily enough I was only thinking earlier that I'd suggest using them when I see her tomorrow . She's not a huge packer ( takes after Mr DL and several years of summer interailing has taught her to pack frugally lol ). She has a fair bit of photographic kit to lug though...

I can still remember the drama when DB took a friend with you on a holiday and nobly decided to stay in Y with her. I believe that was the beginning of her learning curve. I think Aer John's was when he realised that J tickets had to be paid for and weren't automatically handed out on staff travel!!

Spoilt! The pair of them! But they were worth it and, I think, now appreciate what we did for them. Well, I hope so!

What a good memory you have HL

Spoilt ! Absolutely. Worth it ? Absolutely .
I still have the picture of DB and her BF in Y ( DB with a face like a slapped a**e and BF smiling happily having been overawed by the CH ). Appreciative ? ( I'm sure Aer John is ).
I'll let you know about DB tomorrow .

DL

Oh I remember that too.

Was DB expecting you to sit in Y with her in Upper?


I think you'd have been the one to have a face like a slapped behind if she'd even suggested it AND had her deboarded as well
