I have read on social media that amex NZ was reviewing their platinum card offering in NZ. It's hard to know if it will return at this stage, judge like how the edge disappeared a few years back

I mean at the end of the day, the bot’s decision to release X/Z/U/P is likely based on a series of complex algorithm’s and predictions based on a route’s historical sales data. Hence why some months it may be easier than other months to get classic rewards released. I believe there are also...

Voco Melbourne Central When: June 2024 Status: Diamond Ambassador Rate: Whatever the flexible rate rate last month with the triple points bonus Booked Room: 1 king bed standard Received Room: 1 king bed premium high floor city view (3 step upgrade?) Amenity - chose breakfast I’ve stayed at...

The simple answer is that there are very few options. If QF11 is cancelled around departure time, I think the only real option is QF73 To SFO or if you are really lucky time wise, you could possible get to BNE to catch the 15 or MEL to catch the 95, both which depart around 2100 - 2200 ish If...

I guess there would have been a spare? The 9/5 QF11 (VH-OQD) turned around and operated QF94 yesterday evening if anything, there is an extra 787-9 lying around. QF17 landed this morning which was a 787-9 (VH-ZNC). There was the original 380 which sounds bung (VH-OQH) and the QF11/12 today...

options are really limited for evening of 10/5 departure 96/16/12/18 (apparently there is an 18 tonight according to EF) all zero in J CX to HKG that departs in the evening also zeroed (the 0030 ish departure) OW options to TYO all zeroed NZ to AKL is zeroed the only option I can see right now...

it will hit Sydney curfew very soon if they don't depart...it will become a QF12D at this stage leaving at midnight or something

as I said, they did know...it was zero'ed out at T-60. I just found it silly they didn't do anything about it....

I tried to get rebooked on the F lounge when I got in from JFK around 1930, but they sent me outside to ticketing which fortunately wasn't too busy yet. I know something was fishy as I was monitoring a J to F upgrade and about 60 hours ish out it went from F2A2J9D9 and economy down to N or...

my biggest peeve of the whole experience is that the IRROPS are very dependent on your own skills and knowledge around the commercial aviation sector I think I only got rebooked on an NZ flight to AKL, which was my final destination, due to persistence and knowing routing and availabilities...

another night, another qf a380 meltdown jfk-lax-syd-akl, get to lax, then get a text that qf12 has been cancelled for the night and rescheduled 1100 the next morning. the kicker for that is the rollover would be I would miss the last connection out of Sydney to Auckland and end up with forced...

IC Times Square So I was in New York for a work conference so the rate was booked through the conference provider. I don’t actually think it ended up being much cheaper in all honesty…. Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked a standard king room. Initially allocated...

QF3 AKL - JFK menus attached. slowest meal service I've ever experienced. 3 hours 45 minutes all up. 1 hour between drinks/nuts and starter, then another 1 hour before main. CSM tried hard to set expectations that things were slow in the back cabin as apparently the 787 only has one person...

landed just now, with MPC it was a 30 minute wait non MPC the line was snaking around bottom of the escalators down to CBP....

It's actually more than just domestic. It is now also present on Trans-Tasman routes. Previously the TT algorithms allowed for WP to select row 4 free of charge. Now it's pay for row 4. Actually making me consider TT travel to air NZ which at least still has slightly extra space seats for...

I unluckily got the one flight which departs 2025 as a one off on 1/5 which I moved out of then!

a lot of the changes are to do with fleet capacity constraints. effectively by changing to a late departure to the US, it means the plane only sits at LAX usually for a few hours rather than 16-18 hours as previously. the question is, how will this all impact maintenance and performance given...

I’m surprised the contact centre talked about the Royal Suite. Having stayed at that Voco myself if I recall there are a number of junior suites / 1 bedroom king suites The order I think goes: 1 king bed suite luxury bath view > 1 bedroom suite > 1 bedroom suite luxury bath view > Grand Suite...
