Yes it's a new space on level 1. Looks all shiny and modern but is probably a 3rd of the size of the original space. When I was leaving I could see they'd even set up temporary tables and chairs outside the lounge as an overflow area! But as Princess Fiona mentioned about the only plus is the...

Hilton Sydney When: 1 night in December Booked: King Corner Room Got: King Corner Room Status: Diamond Fun fact: I had this room type booked over a month ago, and a few days before arrival got automated email about an upgrade to a King Executive, which as we all know is really just the same...

Just enjoyed some hotel hopping in Bangkok, and split the time between 2 properties I've stayed at before. Millennium Hilton Stay: 2 Nights - August Booked: King Deluxe Room Received: King Executive Room Status: Diamond It was over a busy weekend so the property was heavily booked, but HH...

When you say 'it took around 10 to start to get regular upgrades'. Does this suggest once you had become a familiar guest, the upgrades were because staff recognised you?

Good to know you've experienced 100% success upon asking. For what it's worth, they reached out to me the day before via text with a general greeting and I replied saying an upgrade would be greatly appreciated. TBH I don't believe it should be necessary to request an upgrade at check-in. If...

Keen to hear others' experiences with QBR and earning Qantas points with BP petrol. I've been earning points regularly for general monthly spends on petrol via the BP Plus app, but then getting the bonus points out of BP for the promotions they run and send emails about, that you need to...

HH Diamond member Stay: August 2024 Sydney Hilton, George Street Booked King Deluxe Received King Deluxe Is it just my poor luck or does this property just not offer comp upgrades? Anyone had any successful upgrades either ahead of the stay or at chcek in? Third consecutive stay here, for a...

Ha, yeh I only mentioned the water as it's the first time I've been provided with San Pellegrino Sparkling Natural Mineral Water And Avian. Normally it's just whatever is produced locally.

Conrad Bangkok Stayed 4 nights in May ‘24 Status: Diamond Booked DELUXE KING Received PREMIUM KING-HIGH FLOOR It's been noted by others this property no longer offers suite upgrades (even when available), only next cat up, so I wasn't anticipating anything higher. Only tangible benefit in the...

Following on from a recent lacklustre experience at Hilton Sydney, just had a one nighter in Melbourne, and was a step up...(even on a weekend) Property: Hilton Melbourne, Little Queen Street Nights: 1 Status: Diamond Room booked: King Guest Room Received: King Heritage Room (nice high room...

Can't imagine it would affect your current stay. It's not like you'd be asked to move rooms. Once you've checked in, they'd just see your status at that point.

Great property in an even better central location.... As a HH Diamond member, I'm rarely acknowledged by staff or provided a worthy bump in room type, especially on weekend stays (even when higher room types are still available).... Doesn't really bother me, as I book the room type that suits...

Thanks for all your responses... EK check-in counter it is then....

But wouldn't Qantas be able to issue the boarding pass if it's a Qantas e-ticket number?

Just wondering if I can use Sydney Qantas First check-in counter for an EK flight booked through Qantas? Flying first class with EK

I'm sure it'll still be a pleasant enough flight on the 787. But I too was looking forward to experiencing the First Lounge. Interesting that the seat map for QF11 is still reflecting the A380 configuration, so who knows where we'll end up being seated.

I did ask for the next date an A380 was operating QF11 and was advised possibly 4 days later, but even that flight could end up as a 787 as well. Didn't really have any flexibility due to travel commitments.

Hi all, OP here.... After almost a year of looking forward to this first-ever first-class experience, and doing extensive research on making the most of this 'bucket list' flight, I got a call from QF this week to say sorry but you've been downgraded due to an aircraft change, and there is no...

Great info thanks. Logistically, on arrival in LAX, I'd collect luggage, clear customs, then proceed to AA bag drop for domestic connection (on the same ticket). So how do you access the QF F lounge, isn't it located airside after international customs? Wouldn't you need an international...

Ah never mind, I located a link to that OneWorld info. But unless I'm interpreting it incorrectly, my only concern is the 'exception' directly below the details you provided, which states you need to be Emerald or Sapphire tier. Its a bit contradictive to the previous paragraph you mentioned -...
