The carry-no-cash-can't-tip problem had been obviated at a hotel in Vancouver recently: there was QR code payment portal option shown on multiple stickers in the room!

Just see the comment upthread about using the Czech Airlines website to achieve seat selection.

Well my need is suitcase size (65cm), not carry on, but that's certainly ouch for carry on!

Thank you! A quick Google indicates that they're quite difficult to acquire at the moment! (Hard in Australia, and even the US website has very limited in stock product.) I shall research them further.

I wonder if there are any current recommendations for 2-wheel (ie, enclosed inline-skate wheels) softsided suitcases at the moment? (Replacing 65cm, 3.2kg Paklite.) Like some upthread comments, I find 4-wheelers ill-suited to many places and the fragility of the wheels in transit is also an...

Well, the problem is that there are different configs on different TK routes, so it depends both on route and flight number whether you get Eurobusiness or a recliner or whatever. Considering the added cost in $ and points for the add-on short-haul leg, it was important to mention it so that...

A heads-up that the Aeroplan 50K offer has now been extended to June 2024.

I've just booked a Star-Alliance J award using SQ Krisflyer points on Turkish. While there was better availability Europe-MEL compared to SQ, nine months ahead, there are some things to note about this: 1. There were only one or two days per week with award J seats IST-MEL 2. J seats from...

I third the use of this wallet. I've had one for about five years. The tiny pen in it is very handy for filling in forms. It's bulk means you know it's in your front pocket (or when it's not!).

Oh, your status was even listed down to the *day* of approval +1year, wow. Thanks for this info.

I've read almost the entire thread and don't think this has been clarified (best answered by non-Aeroplan peeps): For those who didn't do the qualifying spend immediately, did your status period align with the card approval month, or the spend-qualification month? E.g. approved in June...

SO I've just experienced the catering. There's something more to the whole caterer-contract story, because it doesn't explain why away-ports are getting different catering too (unless, say the KL-caterer contract somehow encompassed a worldwide supplier network). Anyway, the satay was intact...

I had no problems with the website 3 years ago, but earlier this year only worked through the app. And my middle name didn't change ;)

I've seen many ambiguous errors in this process, but not "deserialising"!

See my post paragraph above regarding seat reservation. It's usually not hard to *do*, just hard to log in! 😋. Other AFF members can hopefully advise re your luggage.

Ah, I'd overlooked that little fact. How strange.

Interestingly, MH has added more text to their main page about dining, listing routes affected by the cancellation of Chef-on-Call and Special Meals. It's notable that SPML problems are supposedly only going to affect shortish haul flights (not Japan/Aus/Europe). You have to wonder what's going...

Just saw this on the MH website: https://www.malaysiaairlines.com/content/mh/au/en/mh-media-centre/important-for-you/inflight-food-beverage-services.html Amongst other things: Seems that they ended a catering contract in KL and didn't manage to get a new catering contract in place in time.

November this year? That's way too short a timeframe for an award seat on SQ via Velocity unless there's a lucky release of some extra seats. Earlier posts in this thread show how hard it can be.

Does Aeroplan have greater access? Just curious, because some award-seat-search platforms return a fair bit of Aeroplan SQ availability where there's nothing via VA, but I haven't paid attention to the points (knowing that Aeroplan has horrible variable pricing), as I don't have Aeroplan points.
