That's sacrilegious right there!

I can't deny that I am.

Do you think the service has gotten too popular for its own good? I've been a premium subscriber from the start, but I rarely make use of the "normal" fares. They're decent, but I find that if I look for a flight right now from say NYC to London in May, I can probably find one through Google Flights for ~$400. While cheaper than average, I don't really see that being a deal since you can usually find these kinds of flights outside of the high season.

What I am interested in, and wish there was more of, is really amazing deals. Low cost high season or Christmas fares, business class deals, and mistake fares. I have an alert set up on my email that looks for "mistake fare", and pings me immediately when that happens. I have, not once, been able to capitalize on this. Even when literally trying to book within 2 minutes, the fare will have been gone. I don't know how many premium subscribers you have, but if 200 try to book the same flight at the same time, obviously tickets won't last very long. Do you think that for a subscriber like myself, the service has become too popular for its own good?

I'm surprised their contract terms allows him to list Big Name directly on his portfolio. I've worked with a few similar ad agencies (never Saatchi though) and they were always mortified that the client would find out they were actually not capable of completing the job they pitched.
In my experience the cheap overseas team always says yes to any project, sometimes doesn't know what they're actually doing, so the project gets subcontracted to better developers. This is done hush hush with a strict NDA so that Big Name next time won't just hire the subcontractor directly and skip the expensive agency. We had a design team and pitched original ideas as well though, so maybe they're okay with this if it's just a developer.

The Ghost Town pictures in Guangdong Province, are those of the New South China shopping mall?

I'd love to go on a similar trip myself. Did you require a local guide? Or was it all pretty much straightforward?
