    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Absolutely. Anyone who dealt with LM long enough knows how incompetent they are in every step of the way. The above is just another example in a long list…

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    I had an incident once about 8 years ago where I got to the airport to check in and was told my booking has not been ticketed properly. Luckily I had enough time to contact LM and sort it out but ever since I always make sure to call them a day or so after making new booking and request to email...

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    One of the very few Aussie Merlot I enjoy drinking. Not cheap but will smash most of the famous labels.

    Has flying J ruined you?

    Flying J definitely ruined my +1 😂 Before meeting me she never turned left when boarding a plane and now she doesn’t want to fly Y anymore unless it’s domestic. I don’t mind Y to Asia and done that heaps pre Covid on HKG business trips buying QF $598 return tickets which were sold during the...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Most villas are the same size, some are bigger but don’t expect complementary upgrade to any of them. Typical resort, doesn’t give much extra benefits. The villas are very nice though and it’s good value if you can book 4 stay 5 nights using points.

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Thai doesn’t show ghost availability on LM these days. Not really, just need to make sure the booking is ticketed and call them if you notice any changes made by the partner airline.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    In terms of diamond benefits you should expect anything between 1-3 levels upgrade depends on occupancy and length of stay. Complementary breakfast and half price coughtails during happy hour. If you end up going there then make sure to book dinner at Jahn. The food is great and they have a...

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Very hard to find AU to EU these days. TG is your best bet and must be same day connection as LM system doesn’t seem to allow overnight (even <24h) layovers. There was short period of time few weeks ago with very good availability from various EU ports to SYD (not vv) on TG for 85k miles but...

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Another successful redemption today. MUC-IST-HKG TK J 75k miles plus $US147 taxes. Booked in July which is a tricky month for award seats. Couldn’t find TK seats on UA or SQ. In fact there was nothing in J on *A and OW for the dates I needed. As shocking as it might sound LM had the best...

    Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

    Another one of those brands who set ridiculous prices for export then trying to offload excess stock in the domestic market. JD sells too much rubbish these days, very hard to find a true bargain there.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Duck Confit and Bak Kut Teh are two of my favourites. Also have a look at the onboard menu online. Lately I find it more interesting than the same old BTC offers, particularly when not departing ex SIN.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    A PITA I’m dealing with for a while as it seems every booking that I’m trying to change has this issue, usually with *A partner availability. Knowing how SQ operates don’t expect them to fix it anytime soon. Incidentally QF has similar issue with Int - Dom connections.
