Staff travel can be the most awsome gift ever. And it can be an absolute drag. You pay a fantastic rate, but you have to travel standby. For the most part, you get on, but sometimes, you get stranded. After missing several flights in London (being totally full and oversold) I finally make it to Singapore. I was originally booked to travel via Hong Kong, rebooked to go via Bangkok when I couldn't get on the original flight, then rebooked again via Singapore when Bangkok started to look dicey. After the flight (business class, lovely as always) I arrived in Singapore to play the game all over again. Again the flights were heavily oversold, and I got stranded good and propper. After admitting defeat, I made it to my hastily arranged hotel, just before midnight.
