  • Qantas extends frequent flyer status up to mid-2024

    Aug 22, 2022, 10:15 AM

    The way that people who have flown are excluded from the status extension seems like a VERY strange move...

  • New Sydney Airport scanners let you leave laptops, liquids in your bag

    May 25, 2022, 04:48 PM

    Whilst the scan itself is quick and easy, the small amount of bags that are able to be collected at a time and the delays caused by other passengers getting held up by shoes, belt etc when going through the more picky mm wave scanner (instead of xray) mean a lot of waiting at the other side of th...

  • Marriott’s hipster Moxy Sydney Airport hotel to open “early 2023”

    May 08, 2021, 04:34 PM

    I stayed in the Moxy in Glasgow and really enjoyed my stay... was a small but very comfortable and functional room at a great price.  It didn't strike me as "hipster", more "luxe backpacker" or "millennial".  Not sure it would be appropriate for the travelling professional as there was ...

  • Review:

    I don't think I would give that meal 3.5 stars for a business class fare... even if the champagne was decent (not sure if it is or not).

  • Macquarie Bank cancels Hilton Honors Visa credit card

    Feb 06, 2019, 08:44 AM

    This was a good card, it's a shame they are getting rid of it. Although the points earning was nowhere near as good as the US Hilton cards, I got so many excellent upgrades and benefits using my Diamond membership in Asia. IMHO the grandfathering of Diamond status until 2021 is pretty good!

  • QANTAS Status Points on JAL

    Mar 05, 2024, 05:36 PM

    Likely yes, subject to the booking being in a valid fare class as per flights any other OneWorld partner airline. You have to check the fare class to the relevant airline earnings table on the Qantas website. This is easy to check for JAL international bookings as it shows you the fare class le...

  • QF J service

    Sep 27, 2022, 11:01 AM

    I recently flew J from LHR-SYD via SIN and the food was great and included pre-flight drinks and everything expected. Obviously everyone can have different experiences, happens with any airline. So far, I haven't yet had an "awful" Qantas experience that everyone regularly complains about here.

  • QF Platinum & ALL Status Match

    Sep 05, 2022, 01:45 PM

    Mine came through on Friday. Stayed at a Mantra Saturday and the best late check-out they could give me was 10.30am (30mins! On an already ridiculous check-out time). Never been a big Accor fan.

  • EK vs QF FF Redemption

    Jun 24, 2022, 12:34 PM

    You get points and lounge access but not status credits when flying on an EK flight number, information is pretty readily available on the Qantas website.

  • Best London Hilton for an anniversary stay?

    Dec 18, 2019, 04:05 PM

    Conrad St James for luxury.... Hilton Bankside for treatment as a Diamond member. The Trafalgar Square one is very nice / modern too but the rooms are a bit small... even with an upgrade but it's got a great rooftop bar!
