  • The best luxury hotels in San Francisco

    Apr 30, 2023, 10:36 PM

    I stayed at the Ritz a few years ago for work, and found the service and the rooms were great. Thoughtful hot punch in the lobby for the cold rainy days in February, thoughtful Valentines day gifts and such. Great staff looking after the rooms, even my cables got Velcro wrapped and tidied. I had ...

  • Why Qantas has permanently closed these international lounges

    Jan 31, 2023, 08:42 PM

    On the use of Emirates lounge in T1 Perth, well we tried them but they only allow for Gold (Sapphire Oneworld), to bring in one guest, which for us (myself and another adult) with two well behaved primary school aged children meant we needed instead to use the (aging) Qantas lounge as children ar...

  • Qantas opens its Perth Transit Lounge for all international flights

    Oct 30, 2022, 06:15 PM

    I’ve used this lounge a few times and it’s really nice, I prefer it to the other T3 Qantas business lounge actually. As others have said, the staff are really friendly, helpful and the drink service and food options are really good.

  • Qantas Melbourne San Francisco flights with Boeing 787 in 2018

    Feb 12, 2019, 08:30 AM

    So I have just taken this flight, QF49 after taking QF10 from Perth to Melbourne first, and then the crew mentioned that that same 787-9 would next go on to SFO.So just a pointer if flying from Perth on QF10 (going the LHR to PER to MEL flight) is that you will go through Passport control/immigra...

  • What's with Priority Guest and Rydges out of GHA Discovery?

    Dec 20, 2021, 12:16 PM

    Years ago I joined Priority Guest Reward (mainly for work-booked hotel points). I'm Gold. So on the 18th of Nov I received the following:YOUR JOURNEY CONTINUES WITH GHA DISCOVERY As our valued member, we’d like to inform you that Rydges Hotels & Resorts will no longer participate in the...

  • Qantas Dreamliner to Perth

    Aug 28, 2021, 04:56 PM

    Yes, I have flown this flight, back in Oct 2019, upgraded to Business when I made the lowest points bid, when invited to, on a full fare economy, 1A. Not bad, wasn’t expecting it but as it takes longer to fly East-West, it helps the hours pass. I flew the 787 quite a few times in 2019 betwe...

  • Recommendations for Singapore hotels

    Jun 07, 2019, 03:15 PM

    This year I stayed at the new-ish JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach... very nice. They usually do free breakfast (included - but double check - just across from the lobby), you get Bonvoy points earn, a nice high-level pool with great views and bar, new arty design, also a gin bar, next to ...

  • Qantas Dallas/Fort Worth lounge

    May 03, 2019, 03:58 PM

    oh no, this brought back bad memories from last Nov before flying out from DFW back to Sydney. The AA lounge in Terminal D is about as bad as the lounge at SFO you access before flying back to Melbourne on the Dreamliner.I would say the AMEX lounge at D is the go, even if you only have platinum c...

  • Amex issues - escalation options?

    Feb 12, 2019, 08:41 AM

    Thanks for the info, I might see about a card with a high initial QANTAS points gift.It's just the Marriot points earn I would like to retain.The Priority Pass and free Platinum lounge entries would be a shame to lose with the Plat AMEX creditcard, but honestly I have only used these - one entry ...
