    How many layers of middlemen have you experienced?

    My folks are off soon on a trip, I booked car hire for them and I wonder if it will all go spectacularly wrong. Why? I booked on the Kayak website, which directed my to a company called QEEQ I’ve never heard of, who are reselling a Europcar deal that is fulfilled by Times rent a car. If I just...

    The Dark side of Japan Tourism.

    Absolutely trains hitting people is common. It tends to get reported as delays and police indecent without specifics. I’d meant the statement about retribution for accidents in rural areas was a thing, in Aus.

    They’re nearly 20 years old, right? Back then anything actually flat was miles ahead of angled-lie flat.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Long overdue, I hear. Oddly I had no complaints about these seats earlier in the year, but I understand how others might.

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    Nothing to do with cash- they have have a surcharge free way to pay. They are welcome to charge a cash surcharge too, as long as jetstar Mastercards are fee free they meet their obligations. (Which is what Jetstar do)

    Can I pay my Latitude credit card in credit?

    TA should be fine to do it but you probably need to go in person. You’d pay half now, max out the card, load it up same day and the pay the same again.

    What cheeses me off

    It definitely applies to apple. I’m pretty sure they tightly controlled their prices about a decade or so ago here, and then got hit with some sort of legal issue around this iirc. Since then it’s been pretty easy to find regular discounts on the rrp, which most certainly weren’t a thing on the...

    AMEX rejection

    The card is held in personal name/responsibility though, not business. So no risk really.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    The Conrad suites are a definite upgrade but if you wanted the view then clearly it’s not the same. I guess hotels can’t please everyone, you got a 2 or 3 or so category upgrade.

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Ah, but I do! When you have 2 toddlers normally and breakfast is the leftover crusts of cold toast, anything is good. But relatively, I may as well choose the best. I don’t get to sit and eat buffet Brekky much by myself. Last time would have been jan 2023

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Thank you! I arrive at midnight to the airport, need to be in a yet-to-be-determined location that will be in the suburbs and then back at the airport 6pm or so same day. So I don’t quite need to be in the city unless it’s gots the best Brekky 😂

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Have a night in MEL to use my free night stay. Sofitel is out. Which novotel has the best breakfast spread? I love a good buffet! Pullman on the park is priceiest cash option currently. If there's barely any differences I should stay at the airport, it's most sensible
