    Suites savers now available

    I'm with you. There are 2 seats to LHR available on the dates we'd like so I think I'll lock that in for now and keep the last week of our trip flexible so if anything opens up we can change.

    Suites savers now available

    (I was the one that posted back on page 235) Have any luck? It looks like it's impossible to do without waitlisting and we aren't prepared to do that as we want to lock in things now and don't want to be hoping it clears all the way up to departure. Problems I've found: - Can only waitlist...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Same situation but I make more than I spend on travel so a lower AUD is much preferred by me.

    CX Lounge Developments

    Strange question but does anyone know where CX sources their tapware and accessories. The (what I'll call) brushed gold stuff?

    Foreign Correspondent - Air Asia Indonesia crash

    Fun story: my uncle (Indonesian) told me 10+ years ago he saw Garuda pilots drinking before a flight. Hopefully they have gotten a lot better since :shock:.

    Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

    re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Question - with the screenshot method can I only do it if it shows sold out? Eg. SYD(J)-HND(F)-JFK is available for a date and bookable online but I want to fly F the whole way SYD-BKK-HND-JFK which is available segment per segment but not...

    Please check my calculations

    All looks good on a points calculation basis. Obviously taxes play a part. I came to the same conclusion but for Suites instead of J. I'm going to try do SYD-SIN-FRA(stopover for 2 weeks)-JFK because the points for that extra leg are a tiny bit more than to just Europe...+$100 for one-way stopover.

    Why not stockpile AA points

    Australia to Europe via AUH on Etihad is two separate award bookings. To be one you can only connect via Asia Zone 1, Asia Zone 2, or Doha.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Andrew O'Keefe in the Etihad lounge (AUH). His personality seemed exactly the same as on TV....that being way too energetic for 6am after a long haul flight. Noise cancelling headphones went on.

    Suggestions for F/J options EUR to AUS

    Seeing a tonne of availability on QF F SYD/MEL-DXB-LHR. Is that normal? Phantom?

    Hotel recommendation for London, Paris and New York.

    I've stayed at Gansevoort Park Avenue (NY) and Hilton Park Lane (London) and both were good. Not sure if they are within budget these days.

    Alaska Airlines 40% offer

    I edited that second sentence as I am not definite about that. They may try and price it as two separate so hopefully someone else knows definitively or give them a call and ask.

    Alaska Airlines 40% offer

    Yeah check on QF/BA to find the available seats leg by leg. Not guaranteed Alaska will see the same availability but a pretty good chance (might be phantom). I used QF and had no problem. They allow stopovers on one ways so you should be allowed to stop in HKG at no extra cost apparently. Not...

    updated opinions on Qantas Premium Economy

    I found the seat was good/great but damn it was stinking hot laying in that chair. Not the fault of the chair exactly but overall it was terribly uncomfortable. Food was pretty cough but I knew it would be and just got off CX F + lounge tour so didn't care.

    Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

    re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Search MEL to CTS. Pulls SQ J for at least March 23rd and then screenshot. I think it only works close in but haven't tried many dates.

    Suites savers now available

    Would I be booking SYD-FRA when the window for the date opens and then add on FRA-JFK 2-3 weeks later or book SYD-JFK and then change the FRA-JFK to a later date. I have a feeling this is going to be very tedious which I guess is my punishment for trying to maximize the redemption with the...
