Flights sounds good. How much would you get paid for that and do you just tend to get straight back on another plane back home?

As you probably kow, fees cannot be discussed on here but MS flights are really a 'perk' and any small fee that may be payable is soon eaten up with an overnight stay. Unless you have another reason for making the flight, I would never do one of these jobs.

I have only ever done 1 MS flight - about 8 months into working for the company. It was a UK internal flight, just to qualify for an international flight later.

The new contract is with an airline which has international flights only so, I guess, I was lucky to get that internal flight when I could. Internal flights are no longer an option, so newer mystery shoppers may find difficulty qualifying for these international flights.

I would suggest that if you do work for an MS company offering flights that you are dilligent in all your other jobs for the company - always submit on time, do not abandon jobs and maintain a high standard in writing reports - aim for at least 8/10 (preferably 9/10) as an average shop grade.

Paul could you PM me who does the flights. I have done a good few UK ones but quite honestly they are a bit boring except the belfast one with the near crash landing!!!

I actually like companies who grade you as it lets you know you are doing a good job and where you might be going wrong. I recently joined ISC and they don't give a figure but I have got very good so far on all of them. I would also add I double check my spelling and grammar too as that is also important.

Happy Birthday HP!! And to my Mum - and to jobbingmusician's sister!!

Glad you got the E-Card - If you get a chance to nip in to ours on your way to work, there's a wee gift for you - I'll leave it in the porch, as I will be out MShopping, then away to Merseyside tomorrow, so won't get a chance to see you.

Enjoy the movie!:beer:
