My wife has had the Westpac Black with AMEX since around February 2017. I already had my own and she got one for the sign on bonus. Was having a look at my statement tonight in detail and came across this " If you opened your account from 1/1/17 to 30/04/17 you will continue to enjoy the...

Have previously posted on other threads my positive experiences with JQ on domestic flights. My most recent flight with JQ was Brisbane to Hobart return for the Australia Day weekend. Both flights on time and crew were great. I too had one of those fares where I received a voucher on the flight...

Property: Mercure Welcome Hotel Swanston Street Melbourne Status: Silver Room booked: Standard queen, cheapest available. Room upgraded/type: Standard king - next level up. Rate: Members early booking offer - $320 for 2 nights. Free internet: Yes, but too slow to be useful. Welcome drink...

Have no problems with flight being cancelled - is only an hour later but Virgin on line check in not working and had to phone Virgin twice to sort out seat selection. Paid for exit row on line after first call and still not sorted after second call

Had booking on VA 328 BNE to MEL at 12.55 tomorrow. Received text/email to say changes to flight and now booked on VA 332 which leaves at 13.55. Email said I will need to check in for new flight and link in the email to check in on line. Tried the link which and after I put in booking number...

It was great whilst it lasted! By end of June 2017 will have enough Altitude points for 2 return trips in J to Europe on SQ. Will need to research alternative strategies. Have heard of buying AAdvantage and Avianca Life Miles but do not know much about it. Maybe the commiseration drinks...

My daughter and partner have a one way flight from Amsterdam to Brisbane in July 2017. They have an economy booking and not sure category of economy booking if it is an upgradable fare. If they can upgrade to premium economy then the points will need to come from me. I can transfer points from...

I am staying at the Pullman Brisbane with the wife for a significant celebration and what a beautiful sight to see Singapore Airlines crew checking in/checking out.The crew checking in still look as fresh as the crew checking out. Have never really thought about the logistics of flight crews...

Still no Melbourne Hotels for the weekend I want to go apart from Novotel Glen Waverley. Has anybody had any luck with 30% off sale in Melbourne? I will probably take the 30 day advance purchase for Mercure Welcome at $161 a night. Frustrating when I have paid around $100 for this hotel in past...

Still no Melbourne hotels have the sale rates loaded yet. When you click in on the accor.com.au website there is no banner for the 30% sale. When you click on the link in the email with the 30% it takes you to a different site with the 30% banner but my account details are still there on to...

I received an email from Accor this morning advising 30% off sale. Going to Melbourne weekend of 5 May and have been looking at Accor hotels for that weekend for 2 nights. All available except for Treasury Mercure and MGallery down bottom of Flinders Street but prices are high. Even some Ibis...

My experience is the opposite! Don't get me started on the dreadful service I had on a BNE/DPS return flight recently with the return flight in their so called business class. Cabin crew were not seen after the meal service (during which there was no offer to refill the drink) and not even a...

Re: Jetstar business upgrade

Have you thought of Penang? We did Brisbane to Penang in J in June last year. It is in the same zone as Singapore so no extra in points. From memory taxes around $400 to $500 return. Singapore to Penang was by Silkair and flight was only 50 minutes. Really loved Penang. Had 3 nights in...

Re: Jetstar business upgrade Flew Brisbane to Bali late November 2016. My mother was travelling with us and had booked business. We were exit row in economy. A few days before we left my mother was checking seats in business and there about 7 seats still available. Did not get any email...

Original post above. Mission accomplished for return J class saver redemption from Brisbane in September and October 2017. I had been checking daily for flights up to mid September to Paris and tonight found one flight available ex Brisbane 8 September SQ266 connecting with SQ336 on 10...

Thanks for that. I can understand QF, VA, SQ and MH booking redemptions. Now I will need to master the AM site which will be no mean feat! From looking at it today it seems not as user friendly as the other sites but then I don't like change or anything new. What we do for J redemptions.

Andye thanks for the effort you went to. Good to know that we can mix and match the place of arrival and departure and still get the return price. The dates are not set in stone and there is flexibility in that we could leave a few weeks later. Will keep searching and trying different combinations.

First time user for Cathay Pacific. Ordinarily I book J Krisflyer redemptions on SQ with points from credit cards (Westpac Altitude and Amex. I know that I can transfer points to AM). It took me few goes to master the SQ site when first booking and now trying AM site for the first time and am...

I am looking at 2 J saver redemptions one way either from Brisbane or Melbourne around 27 August or a few days either side to Paris. From Friday 25 August there are no saver redemptions until some waitlist availability from 28 August. Have had a look at Expert Flyer for some of those dates and...
