re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A OK so another 25 over night. Hopefully I won't sound like a dick when I say: Because of the limits on # replies over time etc. I won't be able to reply to all the requests. You will get a Google notification if access is assigned. To keep my...

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Guys if you're requesting access to the spreadsheet please note: - I need a Google friendly email address - Direct requests via google docs will not be actioned (all they do is fill up my inbox so please don't make them that way) - Currently...

Whoah! 19 new requests for the spreadsheet overnight ... did something happen that I missed? O_O

Yea I reckon... I'll tell him to give it one more shot I guess.

Hey all, A colleague of mine (no Velocity status) has had a bereavement and booked flights for the funeral. The funeral has since been delayed so he needs to change his flights. The call center are asking $60 change fee per flight and wouldn't make an exception, so I just thought I'd check if...

What if you already have Gold?

Hey I thought a useful thread might be the best value Hilton properties. Value is relative/subjective of course but I'm talking lowest average rates with the best amenities (eg. Sydney has an amazing Exec lounge with a great "coughtail hour") and the most likely to give upgrades. For me Hilton...

Status: Gold Property: Hampton by Hilton Berlin City West Date: August 12-15 Booked: Queen Room (98Euro avg) Received: Queen Garden View (descibed as a 'nice upgrade' but really, not like an ocean view or anything :P) Nice enough hotel, first time at a Hampton. Staff were very nice and helpful...

Re: How do Hilton treat you as an Elite? Yea I just took the eStandby request. Bird in the hand and all that (although it's not guaranteed anyways I guess). Normally I ignore the paid upgrade requests and hope for the best. Perhaps it's time I pulled the trigger on the Velocity Plat comp for...

Re: How do Hilton treat you as an Elite? So should I just ignore the eStandby and hope for an EXEC or Suite up or accept the $0 upgrade request and hope for a Suite upgrade (if they in fact do that?) I gues my question is does the eStandby request prejudice the desk upgrade?

Re: How do Hilton treat you as an Elite? Hmnn I'm not sure I'm bothered to pay for the upgrade as I'm only there 1 night and the rate is only $159 so it's a big hike percentage wise. I'm guessing then that there's zero chance of an upgrade to the Junior Suite at the desk no matter which way I...

Re: How do Hilton treat you as an Elite? Adelaide Hilton

If you are offered anm e-standby upgrade for $0 AUD is it best to apply for it? Is there any chance that I'd be upgraded again at the desk? If I ignore the eStandby wait for an upgrade at the desk am I risking no upgrade for the potential of getting a better one? I'm Gold, booked a KING GUEST...

Perth flight downgraded, so I'm in the MEL lounge til 5 *tries not to drink all the beers*

Stupid 28 degrees knocked me back with their app wizard. I think I have too much available credit or something... but it doesn't give you a reason when you do it online :/ Looks like it's Amex(spensive) for this weeks Eurotrip :/

Thanks guys :)

I'm flying J class to Europe on Monday... when do they usually send out the email offer? Seatguru says there's at least 6 free first class seats on the 2nd leg... I'm hoping for an Auction upgrade or maybe one at checkin... any tips?

I'm gonna be there next week, looking forward to it :)

Thanks guys, fly ahead it is... there's a flight on every hour, I'll turn up 2-3 hours early and hopefully get one of them (or get drunk in the lounge trying! :P)

Hey all, I just called the CC and asked about moving a flight next week to an earlier time. It's a saver lite and I was told it'd be $80 change fee + $35 booking fee + fare difference. Last time I changed a (sver) fare as a Gold they just changed it for free as a complimentary gesture. Has the...
