End of uni holidays for some unis, peak European outbound travel period, only 5 weeks away... . It's a while since I've followed TG availability, but in my experience it needed to be searched many months in advance.

Oh that's a pity:( If the application form asked you for after-tax income as well as gross, maybe there was some sort of discrepancy there? I'm still in the processing stage myself, and have had to upload my bank statements three times so far because they clearly aren't checking the previously...

"Conditionally approved" is simply standard bank terminology. It means that the basic criteria were fulfilled (i.e. your claimed income is ok, your claimed debts align with your credit record, your credit record contains no dealbreakers). It does not mean you've been approved. Whatever actual...

As the terms definitely say "approved", I would get the skates on! The application process is fraught... For me, the website threw errors on every page of the application (thankfully recoverable) and then timed out at the final step. The review team don't reliably look at the documentation you...

For instance this article from 2020, but I think some fees have gone up since. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/finnair-business-class-seat-selection/

I might be wrong, but Finnair gouges most passengers in *all* classes with significant seat selection fees, so the value of the ticket may need to be weighed against the additional seat costs (if applicable to this offer's booking class) for those of us who like to know where we're going to sit.

The carry-no-cash-can't-tip problem had been obviated at a hotel in Vancouver recently: there was QR code payment portal option shown on multiple stickers in the room!

Just see the comment upthread about using the Czech Airlines website to achieve seat selection.

Well my need is suitcase size (65cm), not carry on, but that's certainly ouch for carry on!

Thank you! A quick Google indicates that they're quite difficult to acquire at the moment! (Hard in Australia, and even the US website has very limited in stock product.) I shall research them further.

I wonder if there are any current recommendations for 2-wheel (ie, enclosed inline-skate wheels) softsided suitcases at the moment? (Replacing 65cm, 3.2kg Paklite.) Like some upthread comments, I find 4-wheelers ill-suited to many places and the fragility of the wheels in transit is also an...

Well, the problem is that there are different configs on different TK routes, so it depends both on route and flight number whether you get Eurobusiness or a recliner or whatever. Considering the added cost in $ and points for the add-on short-haul leg, it was important to mention it so that...

A heads-up that the Aeroplan 50K offer has now been extended to June 2024.

I've just booked a Star-Alliance J award using SQ Krisflyer points on Turkish. While there was better availability Europe-MEL compared to SQ, nine months ahead, there are some things to note about this: 1. There were only one or two days per week with award J seats IST-MEL 2. J seats from...

I third the use of this wallet. I've had one for about five years. The tiny pen in it is very handy for filling in forms. It's bulk means you know it's in your front pocket (or when it's not!).

Oh, your status was even listed down to the *day* of approval +1year, wow. Thanks for this info.

I've read almost the entire thread and don't think this has been clarified (best answered by non-Aeroplan peeps): For those who didn't do the qualifying spend immediately, did your status period align with the card approval month, or the spend-qualification month? E.g. approved in June...

SO I've just experienced the catering. There's something more to the whole caterer-contract story, because it doesn't explain why away-ports are getting different catering too (unless, say the KL-caterer contract somehow encompassed a worldwide supplier network). Anyway, the satay was intact...

I had no problems with the website 3 years ago, but earlier this year only worked through the app. And my middle name didn't change ;)

I've seen many ambiguous errors in this process, but not "deserialising"!
