Some photos from the lounge

I was unaware this existed until today. Was walking by and thought I would ask if a lowly platinum charge holder could get in. Answer was yes with 2 guests completely free. Wow what a huge step up over every USA domestic lounge I have been in. Hot food buffet, full drinks bar with an excellent...

So that's it for this report. Overall I would say I still think ANA is one of my favourite airlines to fly on. But as stated next time I will try to make sure I am on the 777 over the 787. It's probably all in my head but I am sure the beds were longer and that makes a huge difference when...

Some photos of the food. I ordered the Japanese menu as I had it last year and thought it was excellent. This year it was just average. I think on my return trip I will choose the western menu. It looked much nicer.

Well flight done and I have to say given the choice I would take the 777-300er. My reasons for this: 1. I prefer the old style windows with a shade over the new electronic style. 2. I know the 787 is claimed to be quiter but I did not notice any difference at all....if anything a little more...

Here is a pic of the Tarmac viewing area of the lounge and also the 787 waiting for us P.s. The sake tasting set was delicious.

My very own sake tasting set. All from Hiroshima. Sake tasting rating from +8 to an 8 year old aged on oak which is -44.

Just a brief history before I get into this I was supposed to fly this route last year but the grounding of the 787 fleet prevented it. Ended up flying the 777-300ER to SFO instead which was one of the most enjoyable flights I have had. So it should be good to compare the two. I am writing the...

Well first let me say yosemite is my favourite travel spot, somehow or other I seem to end up there every year. Usually I stay in the backcountry but I have stayed at the Ahwahnee and the lodge at the falls. Location wise the lodge is closer to everything in terms of restaurants and buses for...

Yes all on the one dividend miles issued award ticket.

Hi all. Hoping for some advice. Time being of the essence with the impending merger. I have an award trip booked 6 months ago for travel this June. On my return leg I am flying nh801 which connected to sq255. Originally this allowed for a 1:10 minute transfer at changi. Nh801 now has been...

One more vote gor the MGM can not beat it for value for money. But if as you say you prefer a hotel with no casino then I can strongly recommend the Trump. Big rooms, very new 5* hotel and only a short walk (about 5 mins) to the Wynn/Encore end of the strip. Can usually be had for under $100 a...

woops 737-800...sorry about that

I flew DJ472 in January and I am pretty sure there was no premium economy seating on that flight which seemed odd to me. Interestingly on the flight back we were on a brand new plane (747-800 I believe) and there was no in flight entertainment offered. I guess they don't like us that much in...

Keep in mind that with this card you also get a free return flight within Australia each year, free membership to Prioirty Pass (unlimited worldwide lounge access), free travel insurance - even when not using your card to purchase the travel. As well as a host of other benefits, which are...

Has anybody else seen this offer? The platinum charge card is already excellent value IMHO but this puts it over the top. 50,000 points as a sign up bonus. If I was not already a member I would jump at it. Hope it helps others. T & C "This offer is only available if you apply via this online...

Hi All I was recently comped ACLUB Platinum status. Just wanted to ask of other peoples experiences in receiving the stated Platinum benefits when staying at Sofitel Hotels. Most importantly do you routinely receive "- Room upgrade at check-in (depending on availability and upon request)" and...

I had a look through the posts on the board and it appears no one here has picked up on this excellent opportunity. Expedia UK is offering 20 pounds off most bookings for as little as a one night stay. Catch is you have to be a new expedia UK member. A friend of mine sent me the code and it...

Hi All I was looking at flight loads on V Australia on seat counter. Does anyone know what booking codes Premium Economy falls into? I have a feeling W is one of them but am not positive. Any help is appreciated
