Well that's good service.... I think? 🤔

I also typically take out the full insurance with no excess when renting a car. This is also to insure myself against dodgy rental companies - not just in case I get in an accident! That said, there are so many horror stories and potential traps when it comes to hire cars that I mostly just...

Many hotels offer a wake-up call service, but few do it well in my experience. I often request a wake-up call if I have an early flight or something, as a backup to the alarm on my phone. My experience with this has included: Receiving an automated call at the precise minute I asked for (this...

Did anything ever come of this?

Does anyone know a good alternative to AwardWallet?

Looks like it's trying to stay close to land/airports. Maybe it had a MEL (Minimum Equipment List) item that allowed it to depart, but with the condition that it had to be within a certain range of a usable airport at all times? A bit like this Qantas flight from last year...

Doesn't look like you can actually book this?

Serious question: is there anything actually stopping car rental companies from trying to scam customers? Other than perhaps reputational damage? Every time they try to overcharge someone for damage they didn’t cause, or whatever else it might be, the savvy customers with evidence they are not...

No time like the present to get started on this journey :)

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is going to happen. In fairness to Qantas, they don't guarantee business class reward seats on any particular flight/route. I'm sure we would all love for Qantas to release more Classic Reward seats - and I do agree that there seems to be a lack of these at the...

Perhaps Rex should rename this lounge to "The Private Room"?

The article author is in their 50s, as revealed in this part: Yes, seems to be.

Only on routes between Singapore and Indonesia, at least for now. Would be great if this expanded to more routes!

Probably won’t come as a surprise to many on here, but the average person travelling in business class is apparently now younger, and less likely to be male or a corporate traveller. The article also notes that there are now more children and families in business class, and speculates as to the...

As a starting point, I'd recommend taking this course from the AFF training: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/course/2-credit-cards-airport-lounges/ This is free for all AFF members, you just need to be logged into your account when you access the page.

It's a program limitation. You can't combine different award types, and in this case the NZ flight must be booked as a Star Alliance award while the VA flight would be a specific partner airline award. You also can't combine VA and SQ flights on the same award ticket. But you can combine (for...

If they've changed the date of your flight as well, surely you could request to cancel for a full refund if you wanted to.

This is not possible on a single KrisFlyer award ticket. On separate tickets it would be possible.

You will have to book over the phone unless you can use the multi-city workaround. Last time I tried this (booked EZE-SCL-AKL) it took me 7 calls to QF before I got someone who could actually see the availability I wanted. It was an awful experience, to be honest - but I never did manage to get...

Team AFF to the rescue :) Glad you got an outcome you're happy with.
