Question on activating the Priority Pass membership with this card. Is membership length tied to your card being active? Or is Priority Pass active for a year from the time of activation, regardless of whether the Citi card is still active?

Thanks for the earlier replies folks. Appreciate it. Are there any particular airline/airport pairs that come with cheap taxes? Eg: In OneWorld land, FinnAir is exceptional value.

Imagine you've got ~200k Velocity points burning a hole in your east coast pocket. Where overseas would you go to get the best bang for your Velocity bucks?

Yes, presumably for a refurbished bird - only have one economy deck to choose from. From the in-app seat map, it has a galley icon for the two rows behind row 77 before going to row 78. And there's another galley icon row in/before row 48. The in-app map also has space for approximately 7...

Anyone done row 77 on the Qantas A380? From what I can think of: Pros: - Can reline all flight without any guilt. - No one kneeing your seat. - Less *passenger* noise since there's 'no one' behind you. - Might generally feel more 'snug' in the corner if trying to sleep. - Would smell better...

Hoping not :(. Looking to travel 8 or 9 April, and NSW isn't in holidays yet, it's later in the holidays for the other states, and it's a Monday/Tuesday so hopefully less demand. There was availability that time April this year. But you could well be right in any case. I would have thought...

A question for the higher tier souls who might feel pity on a hapless Silver. Are any of you seeing economy rewards seats for SYD-LHR in April 2024 yet? Seeing heaps up until 22 March, but after that it's a drought - almost two months now up to 16 May.

My goodness, it's a dream come true. ... And now wait for everyone to store them flat - longways no less, and fights break out as people try to move them. Normality, sadly, resumes.

Do any new narrowbodies have enough bin space for people to be able to load a standard roller carry-on case sideways instead of flat? I image that would allow an additional bag per bin (an extra 3-4 dozen bags across an entire 737-sized cabin?). That would save a bit of faffing about. That...

Multi city doesn't seem to work. Or it's breaking for me because they haven't released any rewards seats yet for early April, so it's not happy when searching for SYD-LHR... Getting a bit frustrated! Other times it comes up with an error wanting ID or passport details, etc. *shakes head*

On a related note... Does anyone know if you can stack Qantas Hotel vouchers? Eg: $50 + $50 in the same reservation? Or would it need to be make under a separate booking?

Interesting. Thanks folks. Will have to come armed with some sums ahead of time. Or go with Plan A and use Airbnb!

Thanks for the tip!

Just wanted to say thanks so much for this trip report @RooFlyer :). Looking to do Egypt, Jordan and Israel in 2025, and this is great inspiration.

Thanks both! Sounds like a goer. Pity they don't allow bookings more than 6 months in advance :(.

Hi all. Does anyone have experience using the Citibank "4th night free" perk? Pointhacks has an article about it - and says it can be used for all hotels on hotels.com, and subsequently keeps saying 'hotels, hotels, hotels'. The Citibank T&Cs also mention 'hotels'. However, hotels.com also...

Thanks all for the welcome :D.

Thank you sir - that certainly seems to do the trick. Have a lovely Saturday.

Thanks very much. Yeah, I figured that would be the case re: delays (unless there was a large number of people delayed on the same earlier flight). Good to know. I think I'll try that and call when the time comes. There's an earlier 10:15am flight that you wouldn't think would be crazy full...

Hi all. In the next 3-4 weeks I'm hoping to score myself and my +1 some QFF reward seats from Brisbane to London in April 2024. Unless routing changes in the meantime, things would likely look like this: Brisbane 11:10 - Sydney 13:45 Sydney 17:00 - London (Heathrow) 06:15 A 3-hour connection...
