    What's your company travel policy?

    That would be a written warning for me! I’m grateful I can now use my personal rather than corporate Amex and get points from the spend!

    What's your company travel policy?

    We are contracted to Virgin, corporate fares which are flex, booked through a corporate portal. Double status credits are ok if you hit the booking window! These days even international is in Y (Asia was J when I last did it, so not going again!) Hotels are also company approved only, refunded...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    How much longer would you have needed to keep it for to get 30k points? Cancelled mine last week- wasn’t offered anything, but she could see that I’d had it for <6 months & it was the second time I’d had one.

    Yup, that’s it. The difference in comfort is significant. (But I still had a good sleep in row 14 the flight before!)

    Pyjamas - "exhibitionists looking for attention,"

    Wore my SQ F pyjamas in J last night, and noticed 2 others were also! More comfy, clothes stay fresher and uncrumpled. Never saw a queue for the bathroom. I’m a convert!

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Wouldn’t row 15 get the full width bed rather than the cubby hole for your feet? Or is that just the centre seats? I unterstand row 11 / 15 can open up at T-48 hours... was earlier than that for us last week

    W Hotel Brisbane

    Thanks for the pics! I’ve stayed at this hotel for work- room not suite though. Same vibe, it’s great while it’s so fresh & schmick but I do wonder how it will age...

    Advice on champagne

    True that!! And thanks @Cruiser Elite for the heads up on the PH rare- we loved it! Definitely my favourite over the Dom. No trouble getting that brought into TPR (infact they remembered that was my preference when I returned 12 hours later without me even asking- such great service!)

    My First Trip Report/SIN FLIGHT/ A380 / F ever!

    Yup, nice one! We did SQ218 on Monday, loved it. Squeezed in a good 4 hours sleep (ate then slept), hit the ground refreshed & running in Singapore and then backed it up with SQ306 to London Tuesday morning, rinse repeat! TPR before & after a day in Singapore made the experience v easy. I...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Ah, thanks. Just checking as we’re on it tonight! Flew home on the new first last year from Paris- loved it. We are yet to try suites, decided the night flight (all we could get as our dates are tight) was still worth it. Flying home in J disappointingly! ;-)

    Sorry, did you mean to say you *can’t* experience the caviar on the a380 from Melbourne as it leaves at 00.05?

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Sidebar question, what brand is the decanter? I have one which looks similar- looks great but terrible to pour from. I've relegated mine to water only where spillage worries me less!
