    New Amex statement credits

    Thinking of ordering a case of wine on each of my four cards using click and collect. When it comes to collection will they have to sight all four cards or will be confirmation emails be enough?

    Save upto 35% on Classic Awards

    I am thinking of booking MEL-LHR one way for September next year: 41,600+330AUD strikes me as good value given I only need a one way. However, my dates are not yet set in stone. Does anyone with previous experience of such discounts know what will happen if I change dates closer to the time -...

    Qatar Airways announces daily A350-900 flights to Adelaide

    Have you tried booking over the phone? BA search engine often doesn't price up QR awards even when available, and QF search engine has a bad habit of only showing economy online (perhaps to keep Emirates happy!). Try ringing and you should get booking fees waived as you are unable to book it online.

    MCT at MEL query

    I'm curious, what hotels do QF and other airlines use in MEL in the case of a overnight misconnect? Do you get different accommodation based on class of service and status? The only two forced overnights I've had were with BA at LHR, which put us in the Sheraton Heathrow (poor reviews but...

    QF 127/128 operated by an A380, seating in the F cabin

    The Christmas/Chinese New Year upgrade of QF127/128 to an A380 is on again this year and I am currently booked in J on QF128 on an AA award. Is there any chance of selecting F seats as a OWE? No Qantas status alas. J Cabin are wide open for me to choose from (inc. rows 11-13) but F seats are...

    EY A380 to MEL from June 1

    Indeed, although it's a shame AA will not price Australia to Europe on EY as a single award (unlike on QF and QR). I am hence looking for F to AUH and then J after that.

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Re: Couple of AAdvantage questions from a newbie to it Yes, ringing is the only way but is fairly painless, especially if you can feed them the flight numbers. Remember the availability you are looking for on the EY website is 'guest seat', rather than 'open seat'.

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Re: Couple of AAdvantage questions from a newbie to it I assume South West Pacific - Asia 1/2 - DOH - Europe as one award is out of the question though? Would have got away with it in the USDM days!

    Virgin Amex Velocity Platinum card now 110k points

    Yes, you could cancel, but there is no immediate advantage unless they pro-rata refund the annual fee even after using the free flight - and there are mixed reports on this. Also, it can be good to have multiple cards on the go to maximise Amex offers, especially the upcoming shop small promo.

    Virgin Amex Velocity Platinum card now 110k points

    Instead of cancelling you could ask Amex to reduce the credit limit to the minimum across all your cards, they should be quite accommodating of such a request and this may make your combined credit limited look less intimating to citibank.

    I'm certain this will have be covered somewhere, but how does changing an award destination work? I am using AA miles to book LHR-SYD on QF next year but not sure what my final domestic destination will be yet. I am an Executive Platinum so I assume change of destination will be free rather...
