    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Called up to cancel my Platinum Charge (AF due in Feb) and cited the EK/SQ points devaluations as the main driver. Don't push a huge amount through the card ($5k/mo) but mostly travel related. Have only been a customer for 12 months, was offered 30k points to stay. Was hoping for more to be...

    Qantas lounge access at Tokyo Narita

    We visited on the night of the first flights out of Narita - it was definitely J pax only as they were turning away others, but if it's now officially a partner lounge then QC should be fine.

    Family Transfer Changes

    Useful change, especially if you're just short a few points. Can confirm it was 5000 per transfer to a max of 600,000. Certainly much better than Virgin's restrictive family transfers.

    Can I change name on a classic reward flight?

    Qantas lounge access at Tokyo Narita

    We flew QF J from NRT to BNE on 26/11 and were directed to the Aspire lounge, didn't actually try to access the JAL lounge. Aspire was very quiet as they were only allowing J pax to enter, food and drink was alright.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF62 NRT > BNE Sunday 26th November. Japanese set menu ran out pretty quick (I think by row 4), opted for the salmon which was tasty albeit a bit sweet. Sake was pretty good too.

    Fiji Airways to LAX?

    I think the gap is just due to unlucky numbers being removed, a few airlines do it.

    Article: Reward Seat Release Patterns Have Changed Fundamentally

    In July my partner and I were flying CDG>DXB>SIN on Emirates with a J redemption on the first leg and then Y for the second. We managed to book 2x seats in F for both legs about 2 days before departure from CDG. Definitely a welcome and exciting surprise to wake up to!
