If you can not check bags through the make sure you have enough time between flights to exit and then go through security and immigration again. As others have said you will need the etravel QR Code. It is simple to do and from memory you can only do it within 72 hours of your flight. You get an...

Ellen 10 you have prompted me to get around posting my recent stays at Accor properties in Singapore and the Philipines (Borcay and Manilla). Our first stay in Singapore was only a night stay in Singapore en route from Brisbane to Cebu. On other trips through Singpaore for one night we used to...

Bussyboy thanks for that. Out of hospital today and procedure went well. The information sheet they give you as you leave the hospital includes that you are not to lift anything heavier than 5kg for 28 days after the operation. Our trip begins 26 days after the operation so I will tell the wife...

SQ called me back this morning. Was able to change the dates and flight destiantion though dates I wanted that were available on Sunday were not available today. Sadly i had to forfeit 132.500 points being the difference between points used for original booking.

NoName my experince is that I was able to check in for my midday flight from Sydney to Singapore travelling in R (redemption booking) in October 2017 before check in closed for the earlier flight at 8.00am. Arrived at the check in counter at around 7.30am or so and showed my R booking and asked...

By way of update I am now in position to change the booking (had to wait as I was dignosed with gallstones and am having the gallbladder out on 1 May). We have decided to shorten trip to around 3 weeks leaving end of May and change the trip to travel to Cebu. Had checked out that there was...

Doctore1003 thanks for that. I will give the call centre a ring. Fingers crossed there is availability! Will report back how I go.

Thanks for response - I have more points expiring at end of May so would have liked to booked redemption flight. Four weeks ago there were J redemptions (on Singapore website) with LOT or Air India for 61,500 points each. They have gone now sadly. I have aslo searched United Airlines Mileage...

My situation is that last June had booked a redemption booking in J from Brisbane to New Delhi on 16 May 2024 for myself and wife. We had booked a Silver Seas cruise that was departing Mumbai on 23 May 2024 to Athens. Silver Seas only cancelled the cruise last Thursday (frustrating as other...

Would you recommend the Pullman if you have two nights in Delhi? We arrive at 8.00pm on a Thursday night on a Singapore Airlines flight and then leave on the Saturday for a trip for a few days to Agra and Jaipur. One of the positives in doing so is that it close to the airport and as our flight...

Hossein much appreciated - did not know about the United option to search.

Daft thanks for that. I went on the SQ website and tried some J redemption bookings to Europe. Did not know until now there is an option for Star Alliance bookings or other airlines. Tried both features. There is J availability on Air India to Frankfurt and Amsterdam on 24 May 2024 and they are...

My wife and I have a cruise booked Mumbai to Athens departing 23 May 2024. We booked J redemption from Brisbane to Delhi arriving 18 May 2024 so we can have a week in India before the cruise. The points we used were coming up for expiry. Our return flight is a J redemption from Frankfurt to...

My Accor Plus card expires tomorrow and I renewed today. I was Platinum but thought I not did not requalify as at end of 2022 to maintain Platinum. My nights stayed was 33 with the Fast Track last year so had expected to be Gold. After I renewed this morning I checked the app on the phone and...

I thought the same about SS but the cruise we booked on Silver Moon is 17 nights (Passage to India) for May 2024 and they have some great specials until 31 May 2023. Cost for a Superior Balcony is around $8800 each if you pay in full by 31 May. If i can find someone who is a SS Member i get a...

Pushka many thanks for your reports and photos. We have felt like we were with you the whole way. You inspired us to the extent that we started looking at similar cruises and today we booked a Passage to India cruise on Silverseas departing Mumbai 23 May 2024. Silverseas have some great deals...

China Airlines has great PE which we exeperienced Brisbane to Vancouver in 2019. The return flight was in J and the cost for the flights was around $2950 return The seats were 7 across on a 350. Had a full day stopover in Tapei both ways which we enjoyed. Friends did Brisbane to Europe in PE for...

I stayed at the Hilton Surfers Paradise for one night on Monday 29 March 2023 for my status stay and the room had a stocked mini bar.

BNEFlyer - many thanks for that. Seat Guru must have it wrong. There are 6 differnt configurations in Seat Guru for the 777 and for a few random dates this year it is the 77W six across in 2/2/2. Just checked Expert Flyer which has confirmed is the 77W with QSuites. Should have done that first!

RooFlyer I am also Accor + Platinum and my experience in 2022 was that there are some hotels that dont seem to care about status. Had some great experiences last year with status being recognised at most of the stays at Sofitel's. Mecure's. Novotel's and Peppers. But in two stays at the...
