    Gotta love guys like Cruiser Elite. Really do appreciate the generosity. Jessica - next time our lounge paths cross, I shall be your coughtail mule. As for the quiz - It had to be Jessica Tam, she's the only one in the list that I would think capable of such unashamed debauchery.... and I bet...

    Has anyone had success with the call-up "Marginal" xASA's?

    re: Has anyone had success with the call-up method for "Marginal" xASA's? Well, as of 30th August there were still 2 CSR's that had no idea of this process. I called the prescribed 1300 number, entered QFF details and spoke to Anastasia who directed me to the 'Points + Pay' section of the QF...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Agreed johnself. However, it was the $8.50 for a cruddy glass of red cordial mixed with glycerine with no appellation control that really got me. At the very least domestic beer and cheap wine should be free. Infact, I am happy with a couple of bottles of water in the room and a few pieces of...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Having stayed plenty of times at both, I would not recommend HOP, unless you can get a suite with view of the MCG and a room far away from the terribly noisy elevators. Last time I was there some Japanese businessmen enjoyed recreating the Melbourne cup on their desk chairs down the hall way at...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Just saw Straitman's post. Looks like those that ask shall receive. I swear I recall being able to help myself last year however? In any case, I'll be sure to ask for my gin and ton tons next time I stay. Thanks Straitman, for setting us straight.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Swanning - you are right. HSW did use to include spirits. Not last week. Agreed.. it would be a shame to see it become the beer and cheap bubbles club. That aside, I still really like the location and the property in general. The free continental breakfast takes place in the Exec Lounge...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Afraid so...not all Exec lounges are created equal. If juicing is your thing... come 0600 it will more than make up for it. You'll be sticking to the Heinie's and bubbles at night time though... and the selection of canapes ain't too good either.
