Ok it is arguable if if it post Covid but hotel prices are so much more expensive than 2019 in the 4 cities I am visiting over the next 3 weeks: Palo Alto, LA, Philadelphia and NYC. I have booked all but NYC hotel and trying hard to find something decent at a reasonable price. Courtyard Times...

I just use my QF WP status.

I purchased D Class fare and the Qatar Airways app is telling me I can access the Al Safwa First Class lounge. I thought they used to charge people for that!

That's a long way to go to SFO but the Q suites and the extra SC will make the journey a lot more pleasant. I may need to go there and was planning to drive up from LA. Thanks for the tip.

Just found out it may not be possible to do an overnight transit at NRT. Going back to the drawing board to find alternatives.

Not brave enough to fly PR. Also, I'm trying to stick to OW carriers. I'll probably book KUL-LAX via NRT in PE and JFK-KUL in J. RM13k/A$4.2k. Not too bad. If I can change airport in Tokyo then a lot more options but not likely by the time I need to travel.

I'm trying to get from KUL to LAX in May. JAL offers the best option in J but some flights still require a change of transit airport. Too hard during the pandemic.

I'm looking at the same thing for an upcoming trip to the US. I have been relying on my annual travel insurance policy in the past but I noticed that the covered amount is not enough. I have asked my insurance broker to find me a few good options. Will post the results hear when I find out.

This is how I see things unfolding over the new few years: - Delta variant continues to cause chaos to the travel industry - 14 days hotel quarantine the standard for most countries with some countries imposing 21 days quarantine - The Epsilon variant, followed by zeta then eta appears in some...

Just received this promotion. Tempting but no travel plan (not one with hotel stay involved any way) for the next 12 months. Rediscover your happy places More for you: Get a 60% bonus when you buy points for your next adventure by 25 November. If you miss the early bonus, you can still...

Home quarantine would solve the problem.

Me too. I am involved in selling the home quarantine solution that Hong Kong and Singapore governments are using. Works well and inexpensive. The PCR test is reported to be close to 100% accurate if test is done 7-8 days after contracting the virus so test before boarding flight, test on...

I have an upcoming trip from HKG to KUL at the end of Nov. Cathay Dragon was the only airline flying that route direct. The next direct flight now is 14 Dec. Looks like I will be in hotel quarantine over Christmas. Unbelievable!😭

More like Dec 2021.

Oops. It is the same. I only read the "Marriott - buy points with a 50% bonus offer" heading and didn't read all the posts.

Just received another offer from Bonvoy: Now until 30 June, buy or gift up to 100,000 points and get up to 60,000 points free. Redeem when you’re ready. Will there be an even better offer round the corner?

It may be a different card but the idea is the same that I would be given a certain amount of credit to be used on the Amex travel platform. It is the pricing of that platform that I claim is expensive.

I get a $400 credit per year. It is Amex travel that is expensive. For flights, they don't have some of the cheaper class seats. For example, I am looking at KUL-SIN return flights, I was only offered SQ & MH. Cheapest is MH at A$250. Airasia & JetStar not available on Amex. I can get MH...

The prices for both flights and hotels are significantly more expensive than almost all other booking methods. The $400 credit is not worth $400.

Never looked at BA. Will have a look now. i only travel to Europe 2-3 times a year though.
