Tour company said "We mainly use two companies. MTA and SKY Services. We had a record year with private flights last year and had excellent service from both. MTA is our go-to company."

Thanks, Flashback. Not sure which charter company the tour company will use. Should I ask them? Is MTA a good one? Are all charter flights OK - 2 to 3 hours seem to be long flights! I think it is Tsaradia - a subs of Madagascar Airlines. The airline code is MD.

Neighbour kpc and I have been exchanging tour quotes for Madagascar. We are going in April and they are going a month later. We have read about the (lack of) infrastructure (roads) in Madagascar, and we are not fancy in doing daily road trips from 8 to 10 hours to get from A to B, so hubby has...

That could help. Fingers crossed for you. There were many steps I had to follow based on Rob Burgess' article. Read the comments in that article might help also.

I did not encountered any problem - I did the match for hubby using hilton gold and he is now RR VIP until December 2025. all done in one day. This will come in useful for Madagascar, Mauritius and Norway trips. As @Gold Member said, breakfasts will be a good benefit - and maybe early checkin...

We did a similar route when visit Iguazu Falls in Sep 2019. We flew from LHR to GRU, private road transport from Argentina to Brazil (likewise the driver took care of the paperwork for border crossing, no hassle), back to LHR from GIG. On the Argentine side, we stayed at the Gran Melia hotel...

Agree! We had a good laugh when our girlfriend said she would file a complaint with the human rights commission. Hubby said it would make her feel good, but it would not do any good 🤣

This is a touchy topic for many retirees - getting a credit card - a fair bit of discussion in choice community. When i was in the workforce, no problem whatsoever of getting a credit card (banks falling over themselves to keep increasing my limits!). So the advice 'getting a credit card while...

Does anyone know if the TK RTW fares have been pulled - ie no longer available?

Decided to lodge an online claim via AC website for missing points. They got posted immediately. Both hubby and I are now 25K AC members - which is 'nothing'! We earned 25K from flying RTW J with TK using TK and AC flights.

Is that the Azamara?

Thanks, madrooster. I checked SQ and points not posted there. The boarding passes showed aeroplan but nothing posted for a week now. I will wait a few more days, and maybe email or tel AC - I have kept (paper) boarding passes.

update: we have completed our RTW with TK and successfully changed FF number from SQ to AC when we checked in at counter for the relevant flights. Q: how long does it take AC to update their FF to show points earned? It has been a week for our AC flights YYZ - YVR - SYD but nothing posted to...

Tried Air Dolomiti but it could not find the AC booking reference. So will ask at check-in.

Thanks, Mattg. Will try and report back.

We will mimic your great itin for a good use of the newly purchase aeroplan when the time is right for us. [Thanks, neighbours! 😊😊]

Sorry, just logged in now and saw your question. No trick in using the CBA ultimate card. We just entered the card details on AC website and got SMS from CBA with code, put in the code and the transaction was processed. Were you required a code from CBA to process the transaction? We logged...

same here, paid with CBA card, points posted immediately - C$3,500 = A$3,813 each

We have recently joined AC aeroplan. We have existing AC fight bookings (paid with cash) and entered SQ KF numbers. Now we would like to change SQ KF numbers to AC aeroplan numbers for those AC flights. We have not been able to do this from AC login. Instead, the advice from the net is to...

When I was at the Mater a few years ago, the cafe kept calling the room to ask if I wanted food. I said no, they wondered why ???
