How are the reports for the flight, I would think it would be quite easy to take notes on flight jobs as no one would really take much notice. You could use those puzzle books and make notes on that. Not done a flight, but would be good experience even though my husband (like brryssn) thinks I am mad to want to fly somewhere for no pay.
Regarding timings - i would stick to my own timings.
I did RE jobs a few weeks apart for the same food chain and the time on the receipt was 10 mins out on both occassions

When I first looked at the brief and report, I thought it looked a lot to remember - but I think it's the same with most of the reports! When you actually come to do them they're not so bad, & the more you do the easier it gets.

Some of the questions didn't apply to my domestic flight - obviously an International flight involves more with meals being served etc. and if you are travelling business class, that's more questions but again they didn't apply.


As you say, it's easy to jot things down in a newspaper or magazine, and people are none the wiser as to what you're doing!

If you get the chance go for it!

I can't wait til I'm 25 (and allowed to fly with BARE!) - I love the idea of flying for no reason!

I'm double that + 4 so have no problem at all!!:rotfl:

Good luck with your wedding - hope this rain keeps off - awful in Glasgow anyway!

Timmne

Ha! I'm 24 going on 84 as far as my moaning's concerned!

11 days to go - the more it rains now, the better - I want the clouds to run out of rain!

Anyone done any assignment with Assosia, I'm signed up with them for an audit, and have had the details through but I'm not sure if there's a specific reporting process ie does it go back to the email of the person contacting you?

Yes it will generally; there are only a few people there anyway so they share it if it goes to the wrong person.

Just a word of warning with them though, don't share any info on their jobs - they get very shirty with shoppers who divulge any info!

Why wait till you're 25? I'm 18 and flew with BARE to Brussels back in May...

Did you ever apply again or was it a one off?

Just a quick question for the sandwich shops on RE now.

I thought with the advertising they do that it was a standard price, but the spend limit is higher than the cost of the required purchase. Normally I'd include the extras I bought when putting in my reimbursement claim, but it says if I upgraded to certain options that I wouldn't be reimbursed for that.

I'm curious to know whether they have varying prices from one location to another, or whether they're just saying you can claim for the extras but you won't be reimbursed the full amount if you go above the spend limit.
