Priority Pass increases airport lounge access prices
Aug 20, 2018, 11:05 AMReally disappointed with what they try to get away with in terms of the "lounge alternative" arrangement - charging unsuspecting PP members A$42 each visit in return for a maximum of $36 (it's rare you can order to that exact value?!) of F&B items. I have unlimited access so I am not worse of...

Heard of B2B Pay for earning Qantas points
Aug 20, 2018, 10:52 AMI used it a few times when they offered a special bonus for new accounts in May/June. The fee structure is quite transparent - 2.64% inclusive of GST.

Mar 15, 2018, 02:15 AMThanks Chris. I only read your update just now (difficult to follow closely whilst travelling to several cities) but am pleased to confirm that I successfully gained access to the HKG Plaza Premium Lounge near gate 1 on 12 March before my flight to Singapore. The staff did mention the rules were ...
