Review: BA’s upgraded Singapore Changi lounge
Feb 02, 2025, 01:35 PMInteresting. Thanks for the heads up.I have generally not loved the BA lounges, but for a couple of trips later this year, I have opted to build a 4 hour break at Singapore Changi Airport by taking QF83, rather than taking QF1 straight through - except, naturally, for the mad rush to slurp down a...

Qantas now offers early check-in at LAX
Mar 17, 2023, 05:14 PMWouldn't it be fantastic if they had this (reintroduced this?) option at Heathrow? It has been such a bunfight my last few flights, with queues snaking back into the thoroughfare causing havoc. If there was early check-in, it would smooth out chaos a little.

Apr 28, 2024, 12:30 AMThanks all for your feedback.Like sunnybrae I always have a backup card or two. Not (yet) for bank meltdowns but because I have had problems with the Qantas Money card when trying to book/buy things online while overseas. The authentification thingy that sends codes, fails me pretty much every ti...

Contemplating a WISE card for travel. Opinions?
Apr 26, 2024, 10:47 AMLooking at the conversion rates offered for my Qantas Money card, and the market rates, I am wondering if I should look elsewhere. The FF points become less of an issue, the harder it is to redeem them.I have been looking at the WISE card, and wondered if anyone had any feedback to offer. Better ...

Qantas 'Thank you' FFpoints or Status Credits
Aug 26, 2023, 12:01 PMWell, I got the email, and after checking the fine print to make sure the status credits accrue to the lifetime total, that is the option I am going for, as I will easily make my SC total by my anniversary date.The fact that I am closing in on 900,000 FF points and upgrades seemingly are non exis...
