I prefer single seats with mine behind the wife. That way she does not see the SIngapore Girl topping up my drink!

Thanks for the helpful responses to my questions. Phoned SQ tonight to book multiple waitlists and agent checked and bingo Mum is on a confirmed flight Brisbane to Paris departing the next day! Had thought about checking Barcelona but spoke to son last night in Toulouse and he will be in Paris...

My wife and mother have J saver bookings Brisbane to Paris on 8 September 2017 to see son/grandson in Toulouse. Mother now wants to delay her flight due to issues with Dad in a nursing home. Phoned SQ tonight to see about changing Mums bookings by 2 weeks. Had already checked availability and...

Very frustrating! We go to Melbourne 4 to 6 times a year for a few days R and R and over the last few years have found that hotel rooms in Melbourne have become more expensive compared to elsewhere. Up until this year the Accor promotions softened the blow. Back in May I went down on my own and...

Had some luck last year but nothing at all this year for Accor promotions. I have even struggled to find Grand Mercure Swanston and Novotel on Collins availability for the 30% and 40% promotions.

Booked 2 rooms at Mercure Sydney Airport for $142 each room for 11 October. Thought that was a good rate. Tried for some bookings at Grand Mercure and Novotel Melbourne but no sale dates for the nights I wanted. There was a drop down box that showed participating hotels. As expected Sofitel...

I have a redemption booking for 2 in suites Sydney to Singapore 12 October 2017. I check the booking from time to time and up until Thursday we were the only passengers in suites. Upon checking both SQ website and Expert Flyer today there are now 8 seats booked. Seats that are available are...

Re: E-rewards: got invited via Accor, participated, got to about 25,000 e-reward poin I am a middle aged male living in Brisbane and my experience over last few months is that there are limited surveys for me. They must not be interested in the opinion of the household member that controls the...

Has CE declared his allegiance? For the record I live in Brisbane and am a Carlton supporter

Zig thanks for post. At least I know its not just me! Was in Melbourne last weekend and stayed at Novotel. Well situated and staff pleasant but no spark for me. Back at end of August and have booked the Grand Mercure on a promotion. I have found this limited availability at most Melbourne...

Over the last few months I have tried booking Melbourne Sofitel on various Accor promotions including 40% off but there is never any rooms available. I have tried various dates both weekends and during the week without luck. Yesterday I received an email from Sofitel Melbourne with a 20% off...

My bookings with SQ have only been redemption bookings done on website. Have also had adult children and my parents book as redemption nominees sometimes using my cc. Never had them asked for my credit card to be presented and I have never been asked to present cc.

Re: Two reasons I can't take Virgin & Velocity seriously Yes please. Make it wild barramundi with skin on so it is crispy. I don't like the farmed barramundi. And an aged Riesling to wash it down?

Cole, firstly congratulations on your upcoming honeymoon. The 777 that Brisbane has are the old 777-200 that have been refurbished in J to have 1-2-1 seating as they were 2-2-2. I have been on the 777-300 with 1-2-1 seating and they are a great product but have not flown the refurbished...

Collcars what status did you have?

Can not remember seeing the email in previous years but would love to go! Might have to make a note to put it down for next year as can not make it this year. Will need to investigate best way to get to Bangkok in J from Brisbane. MH used to be good value redemptions but they no longer fly from...

GMOH really depends on the budget. On a J trip back to Brisbane a few years ago from Milan we arrived around 5.45am and our flight to Brisbane was at midnight. As our luggage was checked through we were in the taxi just after 6.00am and had thoughts of staying at a certain hotel in Bugis area...

I am so envious! I only started transferring my Westpac altitude points to SQ in 2011 for my first trip to Europe in J with SQ in 2012. Prior to that had been transferring my points to MH for J trips within Asia. By the time I had heard about the Krisflyer Westpac card around 2012 it was too...

After a payment to ATO in June mine will be too. Wife will keep hers till 31 October this year.
