Now back home after 11 day trip to Singapore and Penang.Travelled in J from Brisbane and have previously posted about that flight. My 75 yo mother was travelling with wife and I. My mother has mobility issues in that she can not walk long distances and has previously had back surgery. Had...

Was on MH141 on Thursday 16 June in J. Most impressed with the new cabin and the seats. Sadly there were only 10 passengers in J. Travelling with the wife and we were in 2H and 2K. As we had a connection to Brisbane could not check in on line. After take off I moved to a single seat in row 1...

Property: Mercure Bugis Singapore which only opened on 3 June 2016. Our check in was 4 June 2016. Status: Silver Room Booked: Superior which is on one level and 22m2. About a week before the stay received an email to advise that hotel not fully open and superior rooms were not available and I...

Flying Penang to KLIA on Wednesday this week (15 June) with wife. Originally booked tickets back in April and base fare was only 65 MYR each with taxes. Was going to use Enrich points but at that price why waste points! Received email about bid for upgrade and did bid the minimum of 160 MYR...

Flew Brisbane to Singapore on SQ236 on Saturday in J. Cabin nearly full with 3 spare seats. There were 3 cabin crew in J and service was not up to standard I have had before. No offer of topping up of drinks in between courses including water which was disappointing. Travelling with wife and...

Did not finish my review before I hit enter. Now using a Mac Book and still getting used to it. The sparkling was a Arras NV which was very good, the white a Paul Mas Chardonnay and the red a Chateau Escart Recolte. Enjoyed the sparkling and the Chardonnay but not the red. Lounge is about a 5...

Enjoyed the new Brisbane lounge on Saturday 4 June. Arrived at the lounge around 12.30 for our 2.30 departure so could have plenty of time to experience the new lounge and came way impressed. Have not used the Brisbane International Airport since 2014 and there have been many changes. Once you...

Digpomi, did you see the availability by making the booking or is there some other tool by which you can see availability?

Well done Peter! No way is it one upmanship just all of us passing on our experiences to help others. I thought I was lucky getting 3 J savers but goes to show what we can get if we try. Brisbane must be a good chance of J saver redemptions at the moment as we go to 4 flights a day from June 3...

Passing on my experience with a waitlist that cleared today. I have two (myself and mum) saver redemptions Brisbane to Penang in J with a paid stopover in Singapore for 4 nights on 4 June. Wife also coming but originally she could not leave Brisbane until 6 June to join us. About a month ago...

The lounge opens next Tuesday 24 May 2016! Will be able to enjoy it on our flight on 4 June. First look: Singapore Airlines' new SilverKris lounge, Brisbane Airport - Australian Business Traveller

Rareified my understanding is that it will be a brand new lounge next to the new Air New Zealand lounge and the Plaza Premium lounge with access via an escalator so it is on a different level to the existing lounge. I understand that the Air New Zealand and Plaza Premium lounges opened in April...

Is anyone able to advise when the new Brisbane KrisFlyer lounge due to open? Due to fly out from Brisbane on SQ in J on 4 June 2016 and hoping that new lounge has opened or will be opened by then. Have searched the net for an answer but all I can find is the announcement of a new lounge with...

My understanding was that the difference on award pricing was originally based on aircraft type. Our first redemption on SQ was in 2012 and we flew into Amsterdam and out of Copenhagen. Both were 68,000 points for a J Saver and were a 777-200ER with 2/2/2 seating. Rome was also 68,000 points...

Yes it was a typo. Should have typed 15%. Had been looking at the redemption for some weeks but could not book until my daughters boy friend had finalized his dates. When we started looking at dates there was a fair bit of choice. Also looked at Paris as they live near the Belgian border and...

Went to book a one J savere for my daughters boy friend who is Dutch from Amsterdam to Brisbane. Was able to enter his full name as a redemption nominee (being Dutch he has a long name!). Plenty of options for the preferred date of 22 February 2016 and when I when I went to complete the booking...

Currently all flights from BNE are the 330 which has no PE. Only business (which is the regional business) and economy. Recall seeing a post (may even have been on another site) that as from around the middle of the year BNE may be getting a 777-300ER for one of the flights. If so do not know...

Have now changed my booking. Phoned MH and agent after checking with her supervisor advised me that I could change the booking to delete the Dubai to KL sector which I did do. Lost the points for Dubai to KL as I expected. Agent did not know if I would be refunded the taxes and surcharges for...

Was in the Mel F lounge in November for the morning flight. Only 4 passengers (including myself) in F yet there ended up being about 12 passengers in the F lounge. Seperate tables with white tablecloths nicely made up if you want to eat at a table. Food nothing special and champagne was Moet...

Confession Time - Forgive me Cruiser and others I have sinned. I went over to the dark side (Emirates) for part of our return trip to Brisbane from Paris. Was on the 380. I received my Christmas present a day early with my SQ waitlist booking in J for Dubai to Brisbane clearing (now I have 1...
