This won't be a problem if the leg you want to drop, JFK-YUL, is well into the future - you could book it for a few months after the previous legs. If this would cause the ticket to reprice higher, you may have to book the JFK-YUL for within 24 hours of the previous legs. However, even in this...

No, well before my travel date (coming March), soon after the schedule change. Sent about three generic 'schedule change' emails before a personalised one. In any case, I try to keep an eye on my ticket on CheckMyTrip for such changes, so I was well aware.

Changing numbers in the lounge is the way to go; just change one leg at a time to avoid losing your seats. No need to change the inbound at the same time as the outbound. You can try the FQTV/FWTS thing, but you'll have to find a great agent who know what they are doing.

A data point for those who have schedule changes. Qantas cancelled MEL-DXB-LHR for my day of travel and rerouted me via Sydney. I got a number of generic emails in Portuguese, before a personalised one which asked for a reply. I was able to accept the scheulde changes via email in english (top...

A lot of NZ fare classes earn no miles except with their own programme, so I would not expect any.

In my limited experience (adding a TK number to a Lufthansa booking), the boarding pass showed up as Star alliance Gold and no other evidence was needed; which was fortunate as I never received a card. I would carry print-outs regardless. You will be allowed into the SQ Krisflyer Gold lounge in...

Cabs are reasonable for short distances. You could even try Uber which has a big presence in London and usually has a sign-up credit which would cover the cost of your cab.

Best way with luggage would be Cab less than 2 miles to Victoria Station, then train from Victoria to Gatwick. No steps from kerb to platform and plenty of room for luggage. As Gatwick is actually outside greater London the train is quicker than any cab. A very detailed explanation of costs and...

The transfer is not guaranteed, but I got a better card than I had in Australia after just 3 months (in my case in the UK). Go to the Amex site and look for "Global transfer programme'. Usually it is all online and you simply give your Australian address when its asks for your last three years...

If you are moving permanently, or for at least a year, get an Australian Amex as soon as possible and when you move next year use their Global transfer programme to get a US or Canadian Amex. This means you can access generous American sign up bonuses without the usual difficulties of getting a...

I've had overseas merchants refund to the citibank Plus Visa card with no issues, and Singapore in particular is very citibank friendly (lots of branches and ATMs) so you will be fine, and will be credited at the prevailing competitive exchange rate on the card.

Hard to say when the airberlin offer will end, I don't think it is a public offer with a sign up page, it is all done via email. I think the only way to match a hotel status to an airline status is indirectly; SPG and Delta have something called 'Crossover rewards' where Delta recognises SPG...

AB is your best bet, but it is for 4 (usually rounded to 5) months only unless you fly '17.000 status miles or fly at least 20 times within this period' (according to my match email). Have not looked into the finer points of this, but I assume discount Y fares are less than 100% status mileage...

When I first read the title I thought there was going to be a AFF leveraged buyout of Qantas. (If you could earn 10 points per dollar for buying shares, AFF just might manage it)

Lots of discussion on flyertalk Mileage Run deals thread but I haven't seen anything on AFF yet. Iberia has filed a Y return fare from ORY-MAD or MAD-ORY which can be routed via anywhere in the Eastern hemisphere that has an IB codeshare. As IB is owned by BA this includes much of the BA...

The citibank website, in typical fine print, suggests you have to redeem your points within a month of the transfer: Not something I was aware of previously. More details on the website: Insurance - Citibank Australia On a related note, the definition of 'overseas flight ticket' seems vague...
