    Maintaining and gaining hotel status what would you do?

    Hilton is Ok for non Aus purposes but their footprint is woefully small locally. Marriott have a promo at present that gets you an extra status night for each brand which helps, especially as you get one night at four points flex in addition to your normal generous 1/2 night

    Luggage from Sydney to Canberra
