    that bassinet life (RTW with our 9 mth old)

    and finally a couple of food photos - step up from economy but nothing to generally write home about. Pastizzi mid-flight snack may have been the highlight! Biggest thing to write home about this flight was definitely the space - particularly being able to utilise the 'dead' zone up in the...

    that bassinet life (RTW with our 9 mth old)

    the bassinet was an interesting one as you can see. straight up plastic of some description with some weird peepholes. bed mode of the seats wasn't interrupted by the bassinet which was great however the little dude didn't want to sleep in increments much longer than 2 hours, so there was a...

    that bassinet life (RTW with our 9 mth old)

    onboard we settled into the bulkhead by the window and got the expected couple of glances from some unimpressed passengers. Had a box of Cadbury's favourites for the crew which went down a treat with plenty of thank yous from many of them Lovely weather for our departure!

    that bassinet life (RTW with our 9 mth old)

    QF7 was first up. Booked using AA miles (80,000 each) in August 2017 for a flight in May 2018. Little bit of fiddling around trying to add DDjunior to the booking, as well as a schedule change to the following day but all sorted in the end. Quick note for those with kids - the express path...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    yeah that looks pretty trash. found out my anniversary date is tomorrow, so cleared out the points to SQ today and will give them a buzz tomorrow to see the retention offer, but most likely cancel the card. interestingly the rep said if cancel within 30 days and no use of travel credits...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Here’s some pics from suites and F on the 777. They had assigned 2c/d to someone else prior to check in so had to kick them out when we checked in (and tried to tell us it wasn’t guaranteed- worked out in the end). Was the same bassinet they use in Y. He ended up sleeping on the double ‘bed’...

    Is it still a pro rata refund on annual fee? Think it’s time to cancel the platinum charge

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Apologies as I seem to ask this question regularly but haven’t ever followed through and booked. Auntie wants to get to MAD from BNE (or SYD/MEL) Can you get Etihad and Qatar at a through rate? Ie not 2 awards? And same for CX? (Ideally don’t want to have to go BA/ connect through LHR)...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    do you mean J or F? have had ZRH-SIN and LHR-SIN clear F waitlists within about 3 days of departure in the past week, but not had success in SIN-SYD clearing on the same ticket. also had J waitlist confirm instantly after the phone operator added it. basically there's no hard and fast rule -...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    just flew SQ321 (LHR-SIN) which is a 2205 departure and 'supper' per the menu - got the caviar but no satay, so think it may depend. anyone know the differences for SIN-SYD 241/211/288? on 241 shortly which is continental breakfast (skip via breakfast in TPR) and then lunch maybe those...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    random one - if bassinet seats in suites have been assigned to people travelling without infant, would they be bumped? basically we've redeemed a last minute ticket and 2c/d have already been assigned - but call centre confirmed no baby in travelling party. However because they are already...
