    1st IHG stay - some queries

    The common areas are astonishing - it's quite beautiful. The location is top-notch just being a 5-10 minutes walk from the British Museum and 2 minutes away from the London Underground. I only ate (my complimentary) breakfast there. I went for the Full English option and it was very tasty and...

    Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night - what's eligible?

    Hi all, Trying to wrap my head around using the Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night. Looking to book myself a stay in Edinburgh for 3 nights: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I select the Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night and see some properties have this available. When I go through...

    1st IHG stay - some queries

    Hi Matt, what about some of the other Ambassador perks - the $20USD bar credit - is that only for staying in Intercontinental branded properties too? Or if it's a property that you can book on the IHG website it's safe to assume that's it available to use at the hotel in question? This IHG...

    1st IHG stay - some queries

    Just checked in. Some successes, some failures. Early check-in at 11:30. Guaranteed room upgrade unavailable. Welcome amenity - 600 points, drink or breakfast (I went with the latter). The Snuggle is Real - 1000 points or coughtail (I went with the latter).

    1st IHG stay - some queries

    @NM am I misreading the T&C? For Ambassador - complimentary breakfast only valid in mainland China? It seems outwith China you receive up to $20USD voucher instead? https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental/content/gb/en/ambassador/terms-conditions

    Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation

    Hi all, unfortunately I did not quiz the Lounge Dragon about the compimentary lounge pass situation as she turned out to be more of a Dove. Even though PER - SIN was in Y my onward travel from SIN was in F so I chanced my arm to see if she would let me in based on that - and she did! :D I...

    Checked baggage through on separate bookings

    Hi everyone, I can report that my interlining went smoothly. I got to Perth Airport, let it be known to one of the Qantas staff there about my situation and they effortlessly issued my boarding passes for both my Qantas flight and my onwards Emirates flights and arranged for my bags to be...

    1st IHG stay - some queries

    Thank you for your personal experience Fishfood. This is useful to know as the offer has been misrepresented on multiple points blogs. For example Flighthacks (they were not the only offenders) listed complimentary breakfast and welcome amenity as two separate benefits...

    1st IHG stay - some queries

    Hi all, I was one of the lucky ones who managed to swoop in on the Diamond status for nothing which I've managed to extend for another year by then signing up the Ambassador programme. My first stay is going to be at the Kimpton Fitzroy London beginning December and I'm just trying to get my...

    Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation

    I have no idea (and neither did the agent; he just stated that they were still in place at the lounge). I look forward to quizzing the Lounge Dragon at Perth International Transit Lounge more on this issue before my flight! :) I'll ask for a timeframe for when COVID restrictions are due to be...

    Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation

    I thought I'd ring up Qantas just to double check the situation at the Perth International Transit Lounge. Got put through to an agent within 2-3 minutes. Then the usual dance with incompetence began: I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out said issue with the agent before she placed me on...

    Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation

    😂 so because it's an international transit lounge rather than an international lounge or an international business lounge I don't have access. Oh very clever Qantas, very clever. 👋 Never mind that technically it's not a transit lounge for me as Perth is my point of departure. 🤔 And of course it...

    General. According to T&C eligible for all International Lounges except Tom Brady. Have made a post in QFF under "Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation" about it too in case anyone knows why!

    Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation

    Hopefully someone here can provide that answer! I think I should be able to access the Perth International Transit Lounge in T3 - as per T&C of general lounge complimentary pass: It's not during school holidays either (the usual culprit stopping linkings).

    Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation

    Hi all, Flying out next Wednesday on QF71 @ 11:45 PER - SIN on QF (I believe from terminal 3). Unable to link complimentary lounge pass - flight not displaying at all on complimentary lounge pass management page. However, the return leg from SIN - PER in December is showing up and allowing me...

    Farewell QFF

    Welcome to the club. I never successfully managed to redeem QFF points on Qantas Metal premium international cabins to Europe during my 4 years earning them but with enough perseverance and flexibility I could usually find a suitable EK or QA substitute to book through. With the now...

    Checked baggage through on separate bookings

    Hi all, I've booked a QF classic rewards flight on EK traveling in F from SIN to CDG that departs at 21:00 in a few weeks time. I was unable to find any rewards seats from PER to SIN so I had to do a separate cash fare booking for this on QF in Y. This arrives into SIN at 16:45. I've got a...

    BA Avios subscriptions

    FYI - sorry if a little OT! I have posted about this in Qatar forum but thought it worth a mention here too. The possibility of an Avios earning CC in Australia - a gamechanger? It would be serious competition to QFF - hard to see why any savvy traveller would not ditch QFF CCs for one of...
