HB @ Rob

It’s Rob Wilson’s birthday today, so major HB wishes to him. I feel a little tardy in today’s entry doing this: it’s just so yesterday.

Work-wise, things are going well at the moment. Money is coming into us in buckets full, and I’m currently producing a video demo of our new big feature that’s going on our promotional CDs. So that’s exciting, or at least, it’s exciting for the first few days and then breaks down into amazing tedium after that.

As I said to Godfrey in an email yesterday:

Air NZ is $1424 + taxes, makes $1612.03 each.

Breaking news that may make QANTAS more appealing:
1. if the dates are 02/Mar and 25/Mar (instead of 02/Mar and 24/Mar), QANTAS can go Brisbane - Los Angeles DIRECT
2. If we go AirNZ, we get no QANTAS club access for getting tanked prior to flights - disaster?
3. I have a $56 credit with Flight Centre
4. Frequent flyer points.

Charlotte @ Flight Centre quotes $1805.40 (including the credit):
Webjet quotes $1821.03.

Leaving BNE via Auckland, 16hr 45min Total including 2 hour connect in Auckland
Leaving LAX via Auckland, 17hr 15min Total including 2 hour connect in Auckland
Leaving BNE direct, 12hr 50min
Leave LAX direct, 14hr 00min

Question is this: is it worth $193.37 to fly direct and save 4 hours one way and 3hr 15min the other? I’d say that it is, what do you think?

    I think you’ll regret it if you don’t…especially during the last couple of hours of the flight.
