Turkish Airlines has, in my opinion, some of the consistently best on-board catering of any airline. It uses Do&Co as its main caterer, and in all my flights with TK, I can't really recall ever getting a bad meal or being hungry. Even in Y, TK typically provides good quality hot meals and I find...

Current Velocity promo: https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/offer?promo_code=ZG685355 Activate the offer, book by 9 March 2025 and fly to HBA or LST by 20 January 2026 to earn triple points.

They seemed to have pulled all flights on this route from sale (including beyond March).

Quite possibly, I’ve seen this in FRA and MUC as well (other LH Group hubs).

I'd be interested to find out how you find SuperCards once you've given it a test run.

Apologies, you're right - I stand corrected!

I dislike hotels that don't provide a proper desk and comfortable chair in the room.

Has anyone tried out LogMy.World? Seems to be a fairly sophisticated flight tracking tool with some quite detailed stats and a nice map. They have a free and a premium version. https://flights.logmy.world

Hmm, good question. In general, a bonus is worth around half the same percentage of discount as long as points cost a fixed price. For example, say that points cost $20 per thousand and you buy 50,000 with a 100% bonus. You spend $1,000 and end up with 100,000 points. Instead, say that you...

I stayed once at Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium which was walkable from Makkasan station (in about 10-15 minutes). Would stay there again.

I flew out of VIE yesterday and the Star Alliance terminal had free magazines and newspapers available for anyone to take. Nice!

There's a new offer on now to buy Choice Privileges points at a 20-30% discount. That's equivalent, basically, to a 40-60% bonus (so a similar offer to the one a few months ago). Ends 3 March 2025.

Let us know!

I've always wanted to visit Robinson Crusoe Island. It's so hard to get to that so few people will ever get the opportunity. Was it rough on the seas getting to the island? And did you have the chance to meet any locals?

The Globus family of brands (includes tour companies Globus, Cosmos and Avalon Waterways) will stop giving Qantas points on tours booked after 12 March 2025. When booking before then you can still earn points if travelling until the end of 2026...

They were when I flew Etihad out of Sydney about a year ago. Did it change?

Quite a few dates in March as well. Interestingly, Qantas is not selling Premium Economy on these flights. Presumably this means you could book Economy and choose a PE seat, although I just tried making a dummy booking on the Qantas website and seat selection wasn't available at all.

Good question. I assume it would be OK as long as you have a new ticket number and the ticket is still showing now as being valid.

Most people using that lounge these days are getting in with Priority Pass anyway, so I doubt this will have much of an impact.
