    Epernay or Rheims

    No. I cannot remember if I booked the volunteer guide (Greeters) online, or just by walking into the loacl touist office which is near most of the main Champagne House in Epernay. However after a quick google now this most likely was the service...

    India 2023-Back to India-Camels, Mustard, Safaris and Living like a Maharaja.

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip. Your photos, and story, has brought back a flood of wonderful memories.

    Epernay or Rheims

    Yes that suited myself too. We stayed in both Rheims and Epernay. Each had its pluses , but if I was only doing one I would go for Epernay. They have a volunteer guide service and we met a friendly and knowledgeable local who shared the love of his town, and of champagne with us. We also...

    KrisFlyer Star Alliance Round-the-World Award Planning

    While I understand the splitting it part to make two trips by adding on an Oz-Overseas return (or two one-ways) positioning flights, what is the trick in to achieve a 12 month stopover when you can only book awards flights up to just under a year in advance? Then deduct the travel time you want...

    OK I am curious…..

    Yes those. FlyerTalk, Ozbargain, The Man in Seat 61, Forums for particular airlines, Trip Advisor used to be very good, but is still quite handy. Travel forums for the type of travel you like. You have to be alert for patterns and wrinkles. For example for a few years when SQ changed metal...

    OK I am curious…..

    Being a sponge, curious, actively seeking and filtering information from this forum, other forums and other sites/sources. Experimenting to see what happens. And then most importantly knowing to not hesitate when a bargain or point accumulation opportunity arises. Procrastinators do not...

    Article: The Increasingly Desperate Flybuys & Woolies Offers When You Stop Shopping

    Yes this is the case. Which is why I have been taking advantage of the way they market since pretty much inception. It is not that difficult to engineer things so that most weeks you should be getting getting significant savings (several multiples typically) of the 4% saving gained by paying...

    London in Sept

    In July we did a behind the scenes tour of the historic Theatre Royal Drury Lane, which might tick a few of your boxes as is very much a history tour, as well as a performing arts tours. My wife and I both really enjoyed it. https://lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/theatre-royal-drury-lane-tours/

    Tranfer kf to velocity to extend miles

    Not to mention that 1.4 million points would become 3.4 million.....and if so you would just keep transferring ;) And in which case no one would worry about points expiring as you could just make an unlimited quantity of more points.

    Tranfer kf to velocity to extend miles

    Yes you would, but with a lot less points though as you will get a haircut in each direction. So that is not a strategy I would use. But yes if you cannot use at KF, you can move to Velocity.

    Eurail vs point to point train tickets

    Well I think AFF is all about not being an average punter. ;) I copied the entire ticket including the Railcard Two Together Discount which is clearly shown so that the reader would be informed. If I had of only posted the price only you might have a point.

    Eurail vs point to point train tickets

    Yes I am aware, and so yes it is another advantage of not using Eurail as you can stack discounts (ie things like Two Together AND Advance Purchase to gain the cheapest price). If you do not have multiple trips ( I did and so it was an extra saving overall to get it) you just book the Advance...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I actually prefer longish layovers generally if it avoids flying out of SIN late at night, or in the wee hours. I will often book so I can overnight in Singapore and fly out in the morning till noonish. Having say two "day" flights from MEL to Europe means that I enjoy both flights more...
