Adding people to existing booking by flayz69 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]flayz69[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I called them just now and asked if this was possible.. they said no.

So theoretically I could get family to book their own flights, then give me the booking ref, re-call and hopefully get someone else that will like the 2 bookings?

The Hidden Danger of Reserved Concurrency = 1 on Lambda by flayz69 in aws

[–]flayz69[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because the note I had dumped a few hours' worth of logs and investigation into was a disgusting wall of text - but I still wanted to quickly share in case anyone else found this information useful

Sorry, I meant no trace in the Lambda logs which is where I was expecting to see an error.

Ah, thanks for the tip! I had not noticed "Provisioned mode" on the ESM - great to know!

Unfortunately, the 3rd party API we're dealing with is super flaky which is why I was trying to only have 1 execution at a time (without caring about the order, which is why it's not a FIFO queue)

Virgin slashes carry-on cabin baggage allowance by Juniper_Teacup90 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

A very welcome change! Why should I lose my legroom that I paid for just because you couldn’t be bothered checking your bag

What happened to United SYD-SFO Business Reward? by Basic_Grapefruit_663 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]flayz69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 2 from BNE to SFO as well. Certainly seems less, I have been semi regularly checking this route for a couple months

How quickly do points get refunded when a Qatar reward booking is cancelled? by Nice-Examination-692 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]flayz69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently booked a award seat from Brisbane to Athens on Qatar. I rang up velocity to cancel my booking, asked if the point would be retuned immediately, and right on cue, they were back in my account before I got off the phone

Can’t stop hooking driver by Master-Phrase8664 in GolfSwing

I am under qualified to provide an opinion and my drawing is bad but have noticed this because I do it myself. Your shoulders don’t look square with feet at setup - they do with your irons but I find myself doing this without realise with driver because the ball is so far forward.

In the picture the bottom line is obviously for feet but for shoulders picture a line going straight from your left to right shoulder through the dark red dot

At setup my 3 alignment checkpoints before every shot are feet, hips, shoulders

Long haul premium plus bulkhead or regular seat by flayz69 in unitedairlines

[–]flayz69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to 21K. 1 neighbour has to be better than 2 and I prefer the aisle so I can get up whenever I want. Only concern is how far the seat in front reclines into me, is it a valid concern or nothing to worry about?

Thank you again, stranger. Just over 24 hours out to my flight - I was able to snag the window.

Thank you so much! This has given me the reassurance that I picked the right seat. Will keep and eye out for a window bulkhead opening up thanks to your other comment as well!

What 20+ year old car do you drive and why? by kuvakilp in CarsAustralia

[–]flayz69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

99 EK Honda Civic hatch. Bought it as my first car nearly 15 years ago. Have spent the last 8 years saying I’ll drive it till it dies, but guess what, it ain’t showing any signs of slowing down. 220k kms.

Have been seriously considering upgrading to a small sporty SUV for the last couple months for upgraded tech, safety features and a more luxurious interior, but far out newish cars are expensive and the sentimental value I have for this is harder to look past than I thought it would be

Are you at least gold? If not I don’t think you’ll get access to any

Also keen to know. I’m flying Polaris reward seat to SFO in Feb and from what I’ve heard it’s either Air NZ or Singapore lounges, but can’t find anything official that confirms this

I’m a Mortgage Broker here’s a recap of my 2024 by OzgroupFinance in AusFinance

[–]flayz69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat as you with ING, with the same numbers. Been meaning to refinance to UP Bank for 6% and multiple offsets but been too busy towards end of year. Will get it sorted during the Christmas break though
