Thanks for the heads up as I'm on a THC rate here in December. I booked through Platinum Services over the phone as the Amex Travel website was playing up, my booking confirmation has the price listed in IDR so they'd have no forex argument

Those who want to read the book and also have ALL Platinum/Diamond - you'll have access to a 25 euro Rakuten Kobo gift card as one of the annual gifts in your ALL profile. The Chairman's Lounge eBook is available on the platform.

You can also push for them to reaccommodate on the next service with J available.

Silver/Gold will confirm!

In that case it might auto-renew - please do report back if it's that smooth! If not, it might be worth trying to contact Accor Plus Member Services first. I've had good experiences getting them to chase Amex previously - they obviously speak to someone who can actually do something vs us...

@LinaLee @Cloud9 sounds like you were both on the same flight !

I'll add that as an example, the in-flight shopping magazine mentions the current Ichiro's Malt special is tax-inclusive but should be declared As an aside when I purchased the Mori Izo flying into Sydney, they took 10% off the price shown in the magazine, presumably removing the Japanese GST...

Probably yes, but if you are even remotely unsure I would declare it and let customs decide. Alcohol duty is very cheap - a flat 800 yen per litre for whisky - Procedures of Passenger Clearance : Japan Customs

You'll have it until December 2025 if you don't renew your Accor Plus, or February 2026 if you do renew. You may be best off letting your Accor Plus subscription lapse at the end of February, then activating through Amex.

It sounds like you're looking for a return trip rather than a multi-stop OWA? (the topic of this thread is the oneworld award, 318k QFF per J passenger with up to 16 legs) I would not stress nor feel compelled to book ASAP just because your Gold status is expiring. There are a few reasons for...

I would appreciate both if possible - immediate family flying from Perth on 3 Nov who would really appreciate lounge access before their flight, and I'm out of passes myself!

I suspect they will have run out of stock in a few months

That's normal. You should get a statement credit within a week or two usually.

I saw a mention of this on FlyerTalk before my HND-SYD flight earlier this month. I forgot to ask, but certainly it wasn't offered to me - and I was drinking whisky. Not sure if it's available on the 'non premium' F routes

The NSW gov developed the FuelCheck app for this. A couple of 7-Elevens in Inner West Sydney have very competitive pricing, and my home is within range for Fuel Lock. The EG/Ampols near me are not usually not on the cheap end but I do occasionally visit when there's an Amex Offer These are the...

Agree. I fill up 1-2 times a month, not enough to jump through hoops chasing $2-3 off a tank and a hundred points. For simplicity I just use 7-11 price lock (which usually gets me close to the cheapest fuel nearby regardless of discounts) and collect whatever VFF I can

Very easy. Both use Amadeus so you just plug your Qantas generated PNR into the Malaysian website.

The food and beverage is nicer but you're rushing to eat and then sleep. JL52 being a day flight means you can take your time! The SYD-HND menu in August included caviar on the snack menu, unsure if it still does. If MEL-SYD is cash, yes but YMMV. Go to the international connections desk, ask...

They do have quite a few higher categories. We've booked the Conrad Suite, above that (in price order) is the King Ocean Front Suite, Conrad Ocean Suite, Conrad Pool Villa, King Lagoon Access Suite, Conrad Pool Suite, and Conrad Penthouse. I'm interested to see what we get assigned. For our...
