    AMEX - SPG Transfer option after August 2018

    UK Amex has suspended transfers until the 8th August, thus giving a window to transfer before SPG disappears - pretty poor that we don't have the same option here and means it isn't a worldwide IT issue like the phone agent tried to tell me...

    Explorer Gold + CC

    Not sure I can make the timing work for this one; I currently have gold that will expire on 1 Sept as I won't have enough SCs. With this offer, I have to apply by 30 June, and according to the t&cs make my first purchase within 30 days of card approval (no minimum spend!) to receive 20,000...

    Icon Water allows you pay via postbillpay, which has a paypal option - this might be a way to get around the government exclusion.

    Qantas 1st class lounge Melbourne

    Sorry to revive an old thread but any updated thoughts on what the Melbourne F lounge opening hours will be after QF9 is retimed? I am planning to book the late CX departure next July (23.40 departure) and would be keen to know if it will remain open into the evenings (I note the last QF flight...

    Transfering from a domestic flight to international flight

    I have all the PNRs and have tried through manage booking; problem is that seat selection seems to close at T-48 and can only be done though OLCI; which EK website won't let me do as first leg is on QF.

    Transfering from a domestic flight to international flight

    Sorry to revive ancient thread, but how early can I drop off luggage with QF at CBR for a domestic-international connection? Departing Canberra on QF and connecting to EK BNE-DXB - all on one ticket, no status. I would be keen to checkin and bag drop mid-morning for the evening departure, as...

    Emirates seating

    I have a tricky Emirates seating question; I have a EK ticketed itinerary with the first leg on QF. Has just passed T-48 so went to do free seat selection, but it won't let me do OLCI as the first leg is on QF - no way to even pay for seat selection of the EK site or app as it says 'seat...

    AMEX Life Insurance - 20k pt Bonus

    Signed up for this deal on my two cards and paid the annual premium; I am now wanting to cancel my Amex cards to get my 18-month period started. Happy to hold on to the policy for 6 months as required but how would the balance of the premium be paid out if the cards are cancelled? Or do they...

    FlyBuys - Explore Gold offer

    Probably a common question, but I have 'over qualified' with 150 SC or so during the Explore Gold period; will these count towards to the 400 to retain gold or will the clock reset on my explore gold review date?

    Wedding dress as carry-on

    No worries for using a old thread; we had no problems on any airline we flew with. J class helps of course. 738 would be the tightest squeeze, so I guess you'd want to board early if heading to a wintry destination where people had bulky coats. QR staff were very excited and wanted to see...

    I notice on the website that it says the 10 trip tickets are non-transferable; is this the case in practice or can you pass it on to others in your family etc when you are note travelling?

    Wedding dress as carry-on

    Anyone with any experience with carrying on a wedding dress on Qantas and Qatar? I know most airlines will make an effort, especially as we will be travelling in J, but it would be good to know the actual dimensions of the suits closets. First leg is QF SYD-MEL, currently booked on the A330...

    Darwin options

    Staying at the Hilton next week, does anyone know the Executive lounge hours are, and what the drink selection is like? Also, what is the usual room upgrade for a Diamond? Room prices are showing as high but suites are still available, so is there a chance of an upgrade to a suite?

    I would be interested in this, but I don't get a copy of Departures Magazine, could someone take a picture/scan and put it on here? Would be keen to double check the terms and conditions - especially whether this applies to the platinum business charge card too.
