Photos: Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street’s new executive lounge
Apr 10, 2019, 06:17 PMRe-branding seems an odd word in that implies similar ownership. Take-over may be more appropriate. Pulman is part of Accor and Pan Pacific is GHA--nothing to do with Hilton. Similar to the Ryges at Darwin airport and Mercure at Geelong which have swapped ownership.

Apr 10, 2019, 06:02 PMDoes anyone know what the McLaren logo represents? I do, but does anyone else. I met someone who worked at McLaren who never knew.

Should employees be allowed to keep points earned on staff travel?

Best redemption program for Europe rewards
Jun 26, 2019, 08:44 PMMost carriers go to Heathrow, so if you are planning to go to London first, that is fine and any carrier which gives best value is OK.

Debit card acceptance in hotels
May 20, 2019, 01:10 PMI totally agree, but even credit cards may be difficult. I misjudged payment to cerdit card companies and maxed out on a credit card at a hotel check -in. It would have been OK at the end of the stay. Colleague had to pay using personal card and it took ages to get a refund. So also don't mix b...

Qantas Dallas/Fort Worth lounge
May 08, 2019, 03:09 PMI once flew QF8 and went to an AA lounge in DFW. Drinks were by voucher. You got two at the desk. Food very sparse. Same in Austin. Food even worse, peanuts etc. Two drink tickets on entry but barman very accommodating.

Cash Passport + credit card+cash is the best option for me.For business, some cash and credit card is all I require for short trips (week or so), but anything longer options are...
