    Hotel recommendations for Taiwan (Taipei, Kaohsiung)?

    Depending on how much time you like spending on trains, this may or may not be fesable. At least 50 minutes each way from the main station (if you change to an airport express train). Personally I'd stay in Taipei, but I was staying for 4 nights.

    Hotel recommendations for Taiwan (Taipei, Kaohsiung)?

    Might be a bit late, but I stayed at Regent Taipei and was very happy. I bought IHG points during a 100% bonus, and after everything it worked out to about $280 a night.

    Perth Airport Underground Rail Link one step closer

    Just passed through the airport but couldn't use the train line as I arrived after midnight. While the overnight gap in services isn't long it would be good if they can address the need for 24 hour trains to the airport

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Interestingly I stayed at the Indigo and the Mercure side honoured my drink voucher. Funny how two 'competing' hotels have a secret passage between. I was given an additional drink voucher as the room was not yet ready so they encouraged me to relax at the bar

    Credit Card Offers ANZ Frequent Flyer Black: 130,000 Qantas Points + $200 back

    I ended up cancelling this card before the second lot of points since the annual fee didn't seem worth it. Overall moderately successful

    Cairns Airport to Cairns CBD - anything cheap available?

    I caught a bus to the Cairns Botanic Gardens (maybe $1 or $2) then caught an Uber to the airport which was relatively cheap. As a bonus I got to have a quick look at the gardens

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    I think this qualifies as a newbie question. If I have a connecting flight AAA - BBB - CCC, will this count as 1 or 2 flights for the 4 flight requirement for status?
