    I'm looking to return to Australia in March 2024 from Asia and just found availability for 2 people from TPE to SYD China Airlines business class for 150,000 points plus $7,408 fees. Is this some kind of a joke?

    Anyone travelling in France right now?

    I have been in Paris for a month. We're staying in the 5th and there are a few more sirens heard but nothing else of note. If I hadn't read about the situation in the paper I wouldn't know anything is happening.

    I'm interested in the Lufthansa group airfare, probably in business class. Is it possible to use Austrian airlines into Europe? What fare class is business class booked? Is it possible to fly via Asia both ways or must you return via North America or Africa? Thanks in advance.

    Centurion annual fee

    Going back to my original point I am happy with the benefits in a " normal" year when I travel extensively but next year will be different, how can Amex justify a $5,000 fee for a card with fewer than normal benefits?

    Centurion annual fee

    I am an elderly woman. I am looking for tangible benefits not bling. Most years I make full use of the Shangri-La Diamond status, the Hilton Diamond status, the St Regis US $200 extra benefit, the Avis and Hertz upgrades, the travel insurance.

    Centurion annual fee

    I was in London and wasn't told of the shopping bonus. In fairness they have taken the $700 off my statement but are not budging on the annual fee. Given we are not likely to be able to use travel insurance and travel benefits next year it seems an excessive amount to pay.

    2014 Centurion Benefits

    Well, I'm in terminal 5 at LHR and Centurion gave me fast track through security. Worth the annual fee, I don't think so. Does anyone know if the Mandarin Oriental benefits have gone? If so, what's left.

    Just tried to book the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Bangkok for 2 nights in October. Was told by " executive" that the free night for paid night deal is only valid until the end of September. Is this true?
