Theoretically I am going home .... at least once.

If not up to five times. You see that is how many times this morning I have typed the required details of my flight times and airline, my address, my names and my bank details into the blurry STA website and each time it says


'processing your request'


we hit a wall and I am met with


'Error, you have timed out of this window, we cannot proceed.'


So on the off chance I do get 6 e-tickets into my inbox next time I log into my email who fancies changing their name by deedpoll and coming with me?

  1. So glad you (possibly even six of "you") will be making this trip!

  2. Off to contact Deedpoll right now. Changing my name to Mrs Trashy (Mr Stressy seems to think that is a better name for me anyway!)

  4. Don't you find there is something a little less satisfying in e-tickets than there was with good old fashion carbon and flimsy paper tickets? Seems hardly right that you can just print them off your computer, waltz up on the day and actually get on a plane!!

  5. Make sure you lie down and make the most of your 4 plane seats!

  7. No idea what deedpoll is but - considering the current state of my bedroom (actualy, the entire house!) - no one would question my having the last-name "Trashy"! Count me in!

    ps: completely agree with Jane; I do miss the satisfaction the holding the multi-card + carbon sheet airline tickets. They made you feel as though you were actually getting something tangible for your $1500+ fare :)

  9. i think missus sewjourn has had a brilliant idea about the seats...on the other hand, i do *LOVE* to knit on planes... :) (do hope the bloomin' thing actually WENT THRU once...and only once...and logistics are thus concluded in this scenario!) ♥
