    Accor "Welcome" Gifts for Elites?

    Last time we were there you could still access the “old” lounge too. The lounge has tea and coffee facilities plus a fridge full of juices, soft drinks and water. I just went in there a few times and helped myself to a few with no issues. The snacks at happy hour can get a bit packed on that...

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Chocolate can absolutely be vegan. Most Dark chocolate is already vegan but milk chocolate is made by adding milk. If you use soy or almond milk for instance this also becomes a vegan chocolate.

    Air Serbia...Belgrade to Ljubljana

    It sometimes costs a little more but I prefer to self drive if possible and it’s a very easy place to drive and allows you to get off the beaten track and travel at your own pace. You get to see a lot of places you wouldn’t normally see and experience a lot more of the local culture. We have...

    Qatar first class, what lounge on arrival?

    As long as you are arriving on QR F you will be fine. Just keep your BP because the lounge dragons can be very picky

    Oneworld Lounges at Heathrow (LHR)

    March this year was my last experience and the Brekky was superb at BA F. Added bonus that it was near empty. I’m not through there until probably June again but I’ll try them all out again for curio

    QF and VA point to Qatar Privilege Club?

    For QF from the T&C’s Accrual on Qantas domestic flights are only eligible when they are in conjunction with an international flight marketed by either Qantas or Qatar Airways on the same ticket. VA domestic flights I believe you earn Avios but no QPoints towards QR status

    Oneworld Lounges at Heathrow (LHR)

    I think the CX F standards have slipped the last few years. I always had it above the BA F lounge but last half a dozen visits have been average to the point that in March I walked out almost immediately such was the poor food offerings. I usually depart in the mornings so perhaps that makes a...

    Oneworld Lounges at Heathrow (LHR)

    Obviously YMMV but I do find the BA T5 F lounge a bit of a zoo and not great but I don’t mind the BA T3 F lounge and rate it higher than all the other OW T3 lounges

    Oneworld Lounges at Heathrow (LHR)

    My last visit to CX F lounge in T3 I walked out pretty much straight away. Was packed and they were just starting to turn away those trying to enter. Went to the BA F lounge and had a very good breakfast instead and it was practically deserted

    Swiss trains

    We have done a lot of train travel in Switzerland including the GE and Bernina many times and there are just so many ways to do it. Our last time there in March we did the same day Bernina return trip which was good fun. We have always used the Swisspass option in first and must admit I’ve never...

    Yes they are non QSuite but you then get 14hrs of QSuites DOH-JFK. $4600 is a very good price IMO

    Current cheap business class deals from Asia to Europe

    QR still $4600 CGK-JFK. 14hrs in QSuites not a bad way to fly. I’ve seen SQ recently selling MNL-SFO for just under $4k too
