It looks like the Feb 2023 spontaneous escapes promo is out. These are the Y and J routes from AU Nothing in PE.

Take off is 2.5 hours late leaving us maybe 90 minutes (max) at SGN to catch our separate flight to Cambodia. Upon take off, they give all passengers (atleast all J passengers) one of these envelopes. And inside there is a christmas tree/paper plan. A nice touch. Is it common for other...

Out of the 3 787s that Bamboo has, two are ex-Hainan. This is also one of them. Seat is a reverse herringbone configuration. Actually, the couple that wanted to sit together no longer wanted to. I wonder what happened there :D . Anyway, we are in 19D and 19G (the last row). Smaller storage...

At this point we got an alert on CMT saying our flight was delayed by 2 hours. FR24 also had the incoming aircraft delayed by 2 hours. This was a bit concerning as it would eat into our 4 hour gap we left for the Cambodia Angkor air (K6) flight. We tried to contact K6 by various means, but...

Overnight at SYD We stayed overnight at the Rydges Sydney airport. Main objective was to get the runway view room for some spotting. And also be close to the check in counter so we can hopefully get seat selection ASAP at checkin counter. Initially, they gave us a 5th floor room, but after a...

VA MEL-SYD Wont go into too much detail on this one as everyone is familiar with this already. Although the crew were excellent on this flight. I have always had good experiences with VA since the reboot. Here is the aircraft: Pre departure drink service: The meal (Thai chicken curry) -...

Hello, Just thought we will share our trip on Bamboo airways now that some of you might be considering them as an alternative option to South East Asia. This trip to South East Asia took place during Christmas/NY break. We found some SQ reward seats of BKK for 1/1 back in May and locked it. So...

Almost but you cant pay the airport taxes using APD. It can only be used to pay the fare portion of the cost. For example, as seen in below example. It doesnt seem to matter on domestic NZ bookings. And you need to have atleast 20% of the remain non-tax portion as you eluded to.

Hello all, I was reading through the PDS and eligibility criteria for the Amplify signature card's travel insurance. It mentions putting $500 of spend on the card prior to travel for each travelling party to qualify for it. "Before leaving Australia you spend at least $500 on your prepaid...

Seems like it. I noticed they sometimes come up on Alaska too, but not on QF For example, I was looking at CX135 on 24/2 which shows 2 seats available through Alaska, yet Qantas cant see it.

For multi-city reward flights where Flight 1 and Flight 2 are with the same carrier and the connecting time is less 24 hours, shouldnt it price the itinerary using the total distance rather than pricing them individually and combining?

It looks like Cashrewards is offering 10% off on VA domestic flights until end of today The conditions are bit strict like no cashback if flight is rescheduled which seems like a common occurrence these days

This just came up on the app. Might be targeted?

Hello, a similar question. I was looking to book KUL-HND-LHR. KUL-HND is on MH and HND-LHR is on JL GC map shows the distance as 9295km which should slot in the classic reward table at 8401 - 9,600 table for 139k points. However, it seems to add up the points for the two flights giving me more...

I gave up on 28degrees after 2 attempts. First time, I got a text message from 28deg saying a transaction by points(dot)com was declined by the merchant. It asked me to reply 1 if it was me. I did that, but made no difference on the second attempt (no text message this time, just the standard...

Was tempted to, but they are not a Chess sponsored broker

Of course, this offer comes up just after I make the redemption :D Yes, that is correct! Actually the hardest part seems to finding VA reward seats at the time than Bamboo reward seats. Yes, I was able to get the VA and Bamboo reference numbers using CheckMyTrip. However, the VA reference...

It was 45k pp oneway + AUD165 in taxes. Booked for two ppl and at 80% bonus, it set us back AUD1968. Works out to be AUD 1150 or so for one way pp. Scoot is selling oneway economy for AUD950 for those dates, so it worked out for us.

For some reason, it took about 24 hours, but it has deposited. And straightway booked Bamboo airways MEL-SYD-SGN for Christmas eve. The SYD-SGN sector still has 2 J reward seats if anyone is looking. On a side note, is it not possible to select seats with Bamboo airways?
