    Hilton Price Match Guarantee

    A hotel program should not be judged on its BRG, firstly does it have properties where you travel and what are the east of earn/burn. BRG is a gimmick at best, it was good when there were a lot less rules, we had one member who used it with another chain to get free suite stays but his self...

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    No real woes as such, they own their planes etc, however the folk who worked out the QF contract took an optimistic view on opex being the same as post covid and the parts shortages blew that out of the water. As a result they are trying to renegotiate the deal. I suspect Qantas could quite...

    Thank you for your loyalty

    Had an interesting call with QF yesterday. My membership year ends in Oct and as I am doing a stack of J flying this year thought I would call about the thank you status credits and see if they can be moved into my new year. Apparently they can be moved only if the members status level has been...
