    Hilton Partners With Small Luxury Hotels of the World

    This partnership certainly plugs some holes in their network (ie Canberra) hopefully comes with decent status benefits and some redemption options.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I did consider this option, unfortunately QF don’t fly on my preferred dates resulting in additional travel days that I don’t want. Also I prefer air travel to train travel, but if it worked out I would do this. Doubt it, I tried all different combinations with plenty of time for connection 3+...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Hello, wasn’t sure exactly the best place to ask this. I am trying to fly Sydney to Busan (return) on oneworld airlines, ideally Qantas taking me the majority of the way (I want to be able to upgrade with points). The most appropriate I have been able to find is Syd > HND (QF) and HND - PUS...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Hello, I will be travelling on QF 76 departing YVR (Vancouver) as Qantas Platinum. Is there any lounge access available for this flight? I know there is a CX lounge at pier D but I have no idea if QF leaves from the same location?

    Hotel Management penny pinching with aircon motion sensors

    At the hilton garden inn sg the sensor looks like a security motion sensor. Rectangle with a matt screen on the front angled towards the centre of the room. At Hilton orchard road Singapore, it was more discreet, I want to say it was like a small circular thing in the ceiling but I could be...

    Hotel Management penny pinching with aircon motion sensors

    This is really testing my loyalty to Hilton. I stay at “all” the Hilton properties in Singapore and I may find a new chain after this. The HGI is unbearable, the orchard road Hilton isn’t as bad as HGI but still makes for an uncomfortable stay. I’ve been staying at Conrad centennial but at over...

    Qantas Amex Ultimate vs Platinum

    Pointsdude effectively said what I want to say. To add my take, as Ive been deciding if I should switch from Ultimate to Platinum for a while now so I’ve given it a lot of thought. Key points: the ultimate card has a better earn rate (about 11% better? If someone could do the real maths and...

    Changes to CBA Travel Insurance Activation

    Are you sure? I haven’t read the pds in a bit but last time I did I’m sure if you used Qantas points it was still covered? Edit: just checked the pds and as long as you are using Qantas points its covered. Domestic Return Trips 3. You are going on a Domestic Return Trip and You either: a...

    New premium economy versus old A380 premium economy

    QF A350 are not in service yet. They will be used for the ‘project sunrise’ flights. Possibly put on some earlier familiarisation flights first.

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    While I’d agree the other carriers also had something to lose with additional QR flights, they would have very well competed with Qantas on flights to LHR and to EU in general. QR are a oneworld partner (yes there is BA too but their product isn’t winning any awards) for someone who holds...

    New premium economy versus old A380 premium economy

    I’ve only traveled on the new Premium Economy seats so I can’t compare for you. I did however travel on VA 777 pe back when it existed, I believe they were the same seat. Which I do think the new QF PE seats are fantastic and fairly underrated. I think QF PE seats are very good and better than...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    Yeah I am pretty sure this is the last refurb the a380’s will have before they are put out to pasture. Shame because the first suits were hardly touched in the refurb.

    So basically the mandate is for everyone to be uncomfortable all the time.

    Hotel Management penny pinching with aircon motion sensors

    Agreed, almost all airlines set it too hot for me. Some are worst offenders than others. I’ve actually found Qantas one of the best for not overheating the cabin though. Even then I have seen on the screen the cabin crew set the temp at 24 degrees at sleep time.

    Hotel Management penny pinching with aircon motion sensors

    I had 2 stays at Hilton Garden Inn Singapore recently and they are a big offender of this. After 20 minutes without movement the aircon shuts off. Spending my stay on the top level was very unpleasant, returning to a very hot room and during sleep being woken up several times by how hot the room...

    Hello, I am travelling SYD > SIN hand luggage only. I have completed online check in and received a digital boarding pass. Do I need to stop by the check in counter or can I go straight to immigration and security?

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    I noticed there is a QF 201 SYD > SIN 02/12 and QF 331 SIN > SYD 04/12 a380 services. These appear to be once off, anyone know the purpose of them? This means there is 2 a380 services between Syd and sin on these days, which seems unusual.
