    Lounge Access Zurich - Singapore Business Class/Velocity Gold

    I flew ZRH-SIN in J (award) on SQ on Thursday just gone. As a VA Gold, only entitled to Swiss Business Lounge (E). Very impressed with the lounge - clean, modern, plenty of space. Good choice of food and beverages (made cook omelette's/eggs for breakfast, other items at lunch, and a freezer...

    Milan route with Singapore Airlines

    Re: Milan route Singapore AIr I don't know the answer to this, but I wouldn't try hidden city ticketing to BCN, hoping to hop off in MXP (even with carry-on only). I flew through to BCN 3 weeks ago, staff were very diligent in ensuring the correct passengers disembarked. Those travelling...

    'Human error' blamed after Flight Centre mistakenly releases passport details

    Might have been caused by the same Flight Center staff member who cancelled my NYC accommodation for me a few years back - and then blamed it on me.

    New business class for VA 737 [deferred]

    Re: Easy fix for VA - new 737 J class! I'm Perth based, and never use the bed for the eastbound flight (I refuse to do red eyes). However, I regularly use it flying westbound (even in the AM) - I'm either exhausted from work, tired from partying too hard if flying back on a Sunday/Monday...

    Not happy about qantas mag today

    If they were so concerned about the content, why didn't they just say "adult introduction service"? Why did the OP have to mention it was for gay men (men was capitalised, not sure why the emphasis). Subsequent posts has shown the OP's underlying feelings. You might be right, other members...

    Not happy about qantas mag today

    An advertisement for an introduction service is hardly cough. But, I feel this argument will go nowhere, so I'm going to leave it at that. As an aside, if you're looking for a 'conservative' airline in Australia, you won't get far. Qantas (who own Jetstar) and Virgin (who own Tiger) both...

    Not happy about qantas mag today

    A couple of things; 1. It's 2017 2. Can you explain more about Qantas being conservative? They have a float in Sydney Mardi Gras, they used pride decals on a A330 recently. I think they even used the hastag #gay330 3. I'm sure all advertisements go through a vetting procedure. An...

    AMEX Life Insurance - 20k pt Bonus

    I got a call from Amex insurance yesterday offering me this deal. As he started reading out the script (and mentioned the 20,000 sign up points), I cut him off - and told him I'd signed up last week.

    Credit Card Offers Amex Explorer Offers & Discussion

    Whilst my referral link offers 30,000 points for me, it's only offering 60,000 points for those who sign up - so it's better for others not to use my link. Is your referral offer different?

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    I'm sure it was tasty, but probably more suited to a stall outside Bunnings than J.

    Air Asia drama ex-Per

    If LEA was not chosen for either of these reasons alone, this would be a major concern. Wouldn't/shouldn't these sorts of issues be dealt with in sims?

    I sent a Direct Message via twitter on Monday asking them why the delays with points/status credits. Got the following response a few hours later; "We have just been advised that the delayed accrual issue has now been rectified. I do hope this is the case for your next flights"

    Travel Insurance - pre-existing condition (heart)

    I find InsureandGo good for pre-existing conditions. I use "ENTERTAINMENT15" as the promo code to take 15% off the policy (thanks to the entertainment book)

    If you had a choice of VA boarding music, what ambience/vibe would you choose?

    "Feels like home" or "Take Me" by Rufus ;) In all honesty, something by someone like Rufus would be good. Just nothing too heavy for those early (~5am) departures.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Got an offer for 500 points for the Coles Asian Convenience 350g range. Advertised as $6 each, but scanning at my local store for $3. Not sure why, not going out of date anytime soon. They're not too bad, easy enough to take to work to heat for lunch. I've found the points credit into my...
