Have been offered a job where the MS company will pay for a flight in order to get you airside in order to MS one of the airport outlets.

If you don't get on a flight, how on earth do you get out of an airport after you've passed security?! I don't really want to get on a plane to be stranded in a foreign country all because I couldn't leave the airport!

Maybe go to the desk and invent an emergency why you need to leave? Phone call from a family member and you need to go home and can't fly?

I would appreciate some info from UKmonkey or Josie if possible, any help to get my accounts on track and I'll be forever grateful. Thanks in advance.

Has anybody done any RE bookshops recently? If so, has your payment been processed yet? It's been a week since I did it, and it's still sat in Pending Payments- although that's not a long time, I've done several jobs since (including the music store that owns this bookstore) and it's slow based on RE's usual processing rate...

Saying that, Team Mel had something to say about said music store. I was asked whether I was upsold during the enquiry or the purchase, to which I replied that I was not during the purchase, but during the enquiry, I was offered additional games. Team Mel asked me to "clarify" this. To which I replied: "My response is exactly as I put the first time", and wrote it all over again with two "i.e."s stuck in saying basically nothing new. And then I got paid. Grrrr.

Found a "coke-zone" voucher in the street and it won me another £5 HMV voucher - god I am desperate picking up litter off the streets to save money!



Not sure if there are going to be strings attached with these £5 vouchers now though............

Think about it. The plane you are about to get on has passengers getting off so you just reverse your route.

Nope, I'm being completely dense here. :think:

Every boarding lounge I've been in has been separated by an uncrossable barrier from those disembarking.

How would you do it?

Some of them give you access to Arrivals (though I would add that not many in Britain are like that.) The best thing to do is to go back to Security and claim that for some reason, you can't fly anymore... Could be complicated, but they can't exactly FORCE you to fly. (Or can they? )

I do this all the time... remember the exit is in the same spot as departures in airports. you will see an exit.


Thanks for all the warm wishes everyone! xx
