@tc1415 @JasonLoch Similar to Australia to NATO https://t.co/e11zhmteH9

@tc1415 @JasonLoch Australia seems to align with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in sending Lettres du Cabinet to non-monarchies (in this particular case the European Union) https://t.co/e11zhmteH9

[Percy Smith @percysmithhk]

@JasonLoch @tc1415 Ok, so we’re looking for a UK Letter of Credence to a republic. I haven’t see one - only wording from @tc1415 of one.

And the Commonwealth realms don’t send that.

[Percy Smith @percysmithhk]

@JasonLoch @tc1415 Then why did Venezuela (a republic, right?) get a Lettres de Chancellerie?

[Percy Smith @percysmithhk]

@JasonLoch @tc1415 Not too sure who still gets Lettres de Chancellerie, even Prince Albert of Monaco gets Lettres de Cabinet (this was presented by Sir Peter Ricketts when he became the British Ambassador to France) (Privacy and Power: A year in the life of Prince Albert of Monaco)

@Jay_Watt @cathaypacific Similar https://t.co/gjgduTL6EH ?

@thriftytraveler @xJonNYC They just copied BA’s copy when BA rolled out spend-based British Airways Club “you asked for it”.

Hi @royalairmaroc

I am trying to work out when my Safar Flyer Card status will expire if I earn it by flying (not by status match).

Say I earn 75,000 Miles on RAM flights in July 2025 - will my status expire in December 31 2025 or December 31 2026 please?

@JohnBishop100 Seems to be an EasyJet thing? I was on a EasyJet flight from Orly to Nice, when we encountered a tarmac delay. The cockpit made an announcement in French, then the kids all came forward. My wife and I were bemused because in a tarmac delay in Asia, this never happens.

@kjoules Welcome to the overinflated currency and rent club, Singapore. We had some jackets made.

@kjoules “Mainland Chinese who are now living in the freest part of China are happier than those local Chinese who are watching their freedoms being taken away from them.

I don't think a survey was needed to confirm this.” https://t.co/vp71W3Nj4U

I have a couple of boxes from my own Japan travels - but I can’t decipher my Aeon dockets.

I eat the Japan cheese with wine. I eat my Parmasan and Cheddar from Australia travels unaccompanied (another cheese that doesn’t cost much).

@kjoules I would rather just focus on the incident number rather than calculate a percentage.

Taxis were 18,138 til 2016 and are 18,163 now. I assume each vehicle is on the road the same number of hours per day.

If the gross number increased then it’s on the cabbies.

@TraceyPrigge @tripperhead BNOs can be handled by CX staff at AEL, so, so can non-epassports like ZAF https://t.co/uOFYcKUaM6

[Percy Smith @percysmithhk]

@DibsHk @tripperhead There’re CX staff still at AEL who’ll handle any manual docs check required. It’s like using gift vouchers at a Parknshop self check-out https://t.co/uOFYcKUaM6

@krisko12769 @kjoules @tripperhead Permanent residents, so they’re not going to tax your day tourists/G签

[Percy Smith @percysmithhk]

@dimsumdaily_hk Not the best summary. You cannot “fail to land twice” due to fuel shortage. In fact you cannot land without fuel (Avianca Flight 52). Better to say Cathay Pacific flight diverted from London Heathrow airport due to fuel shortage.

[Percy Smith @percysmithhk]

@TripperheadToo Be careful what you wish for

Less likely for an in-person application
