I spent 8 weeks in the US about 6 months ago and hired a car probably 5 times. I used Avis UK website to book everything inclusive. Usually for the same price as the USA Avis website but obviously the USA price doesn't include insurance. There are plenty of discount codes that work as well. I...

So is to safe assume no more 100% points offers now because of the merger? No more Singapore or AirNZ redemptions. My favourite cheap business class cash cow has died?

Have travelled the MEL/SYD/BNE > AKL > LAX with NZ and MEL/SYD > LAX with UA and SEA > ICN > SYD with OZ. If you can try to get the Air New Zealand as I believe they offer the best service for J out of those 3. They do fly via HNL out of AKL as well if you are stuck. I found the North American...

Ahh promo ends today, to stock up or not to stock up??? always a hard question. I wonder if an impending merger will affect points at all. Surely Oneworld points wont be as effective heading to North America or will they actually be better? (large hypothetical question I know)

Just came back from a US Trip flying: MEL-AKL-LAX-stop-EWR EWR-ORD-LAX-SYD-MEL Flying NZ & UA in J. Which was my second successful US DM booking. This still is the best bloody deal ever. Just booked my parents in J on SG/TG/LH on: ADL-SIN-BKK-(New TG A380)-FRA-VCE BCN-FRA-(New TG...

You can book any rate as long as it isn't a mystery site like priceline or hotwire I believe. Just priced matched another, thats 2 from 2.

I think you can book the cheaper rate with a third party as much as you like. I ended up cancelling that rate and keeping the 'price matched' rate with hilton as it is part of the T&C's as you mentioned to go through with that booking to get the $50 prepaid amex. I ran through my USA Tour 2012...

UPDATE: I have used this same trick with V Australia when they lost my bags once and it worked.......I took the claim to Twitter. Tagged in all the Hilton tags I could find and boom hey presto get a DM from Hilton asking for the reservation number so they could look into it. 3 hours later...

Hey guys, keen to find out if anyone has had success with a BRG with Hilton? I booked a room for 2 nights, Hilton Anaheim 12-14th Oct, for $139 on hilton.com Half an hour later I noticed the rate on expedia.com.au was $100 per night, :shock: booked that also. Put in a BRG form stating the...

This sucks so much. When virgin were doing so much right they start doing this. Was going to use the hell out of a 30 day pass between Sep&Nov too. Dammit!

Haha is this a joke ? Looks like a primary school project or something. In no way legit.

Only meant do-gooders to those who feel the need to 'tell off' people acting as the naughty police. If you genuinely feel your safety is at risk you can ask them or remind them to turn it off, was trying to suggest a way without making yourself look like an asshole. Not looking to judge anyone...

To all the do-gooders out there that think it is necessary to 'tell off' a person for doing this (btw I am not saying this is right or wrong, it is your prerogative) I suggest you are going about this the wrong way and leave yourself open for abuse and just sets you up for a confrontation. If...

Great tips and info guys. I am liking the AVIS.co.uk website showing everything inclusive, works out alot cheaper in some cases, especially with a discount code of some sort and it seems as though they don't flog you as much or at all for 'local' one way rentals like SNA > LAX airport or LAS...

Hi guys, I have attempted to get my head around the car hire insurance policies of the companies in the USA and I am getting the run-around, I am not sure if it is my accent or the fact they don't use the same terms as we do like 'excess' or whatever but I just cant get a straight answer from...

I always use Mr. Simcard www.mrsimcard.com +1-703-953-2272 | +44.7520763500 to puchase sim cards for my iPhone when I am in the USA. never failed me so far, some good deals, they set the sims up for you, great service.

Definately check out Mr. Simcard www.mrsimcard.com +1-703-953-2272 | +44.7520763500 I have used them twice before, both using iPhones & just about to purchase sim cards for myself and my girlfriend for an 8 week trip around October.

I think you would be best off looking at AirNZ lounge. $50-60 I think. A great lounge, good beer selection. You'll get your $50's worth.
