    SIA redemption booking change/cancel

    Oh I see what you mean, since SIN to SYD is technically part of the LHR to SYD flight. Hmm. I'd have to call up and change the date for that one and then try and get them to add the LHR to SIN sector and join it all up.

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Used to be 360 days for Qatar. Hoping they come back online for business class soon but not holding my breath :( Had two business class seats Syd to LHR in August 2020, booked through Qantas. Took months of planning, tracking and practicing. Was the hardest thing to press that cancel button when...

    Expedia - Accor non-refundable hotel France - advice?

    Thanks for the message John, this is interesting indeed. At this stage I still have no way on contacting expedia, either on the phone or via email (they don't list any email address for contacting them). I'll follow up with the hotel again and see if I can push them to resolve it at their end.

    SIA redemption September 2020 - change booking or cancel/rebook

    Yes probably the best course of action. I just got lucky i guess, but I may have to pay the fee down the road...

    SIA redemption September 2020 - change booking or cancel/rebook

    As an update to my situation, it turns out it was a system error and I was supposed to be charged the fee. SIA called me to tell me and wanted me to call back to pay, but the call cut out. I'm not going to wait on hold for ours to pay a fee, so will see if they chase me up again 🤔

    Expedia - Accor non-refundable hotel France - advice?

    The Novotel we had booked for Paris did look nice, and the hotel staff have been very responsive but unfortunately can't do anything since our booking is through Expedia. It will depend on the validity of the credit note as to whether we can use it or not. We'll have to wait and see. Hopefully...

    Expedia - Accor non-refundable hotel France - advice?

    YEP I have read that too, their policy is not generous at all and contains a lot of conditions. Contacting a hotel directly for a credit note for that specific hotel seems pretty inflexible, you'd think an Accor credit note would make more sense, although I guess they are hoping people aren't...

    Expedia - Accor non-refundable hotel France - advice?

    I find it odd that in some regions of Europe people can get a refund but in others only a credit note. Must be some sort of consumer law loophole in some European countries. I guess we will wait until our booking gets closer and see what the options are. Plan B is probably to try claim on...

    Expedia - Accor non-refundable hotel France - advice?

    Hi all We have a hotel in Paris booked through Expedia for late August 2020 - it's the Novotel Paris Les Halles, so an Accor hotel. We've cancelled our trip but this is a non-refundable booking, made through Expedia. Accor's cancellation policy for France is as follows: For hotels in France...

    Redemption cancellation

    Definitely would be getting frustrated if it was me too. When i emailed before cancelling my flights they told me it could be 20 weeks before i see a refund of the taxes, so i was very surprised to get it within a week....hopefully they start clearing their backlog and the 20 week timeframe...

    Redemption cancellation

    Cancelled our September redemption Frankfurt to Sydney last Thursday - pressed the cancel button online and agreed to pay the cancellation fee (about $200). Got the points back instantly, and the taxes of approx $350 have already been refunded. No cancellation fee was charged. Maybe I got lucky...

    SIA redemption September 2020 - change booking or cancel/rebook

    Yes same for me. It showed a fee and I put my credif card details in to pay the fee upon cancellation, and when I cancelled the fee did hit my credit card briefly but then it disappeared from my transaction history. Maybe that's how their system processes things, they have to charge the fee and...

    SIA redemption September 2020 - change booking or cancel/rebook

    I cancelled online by managing my booking. Cancelled it last Thursday. Got the points back instantly and the refund of 220 euros for the taxes came though to my credit card today. I was advised the taxes refund could take up to 20 weeks so not sure why mine came through so fast 😒

    SIA redemption September 2020 - change booking or cancel/rebook

    Are they redemption flights? Mine were in September (Frankfurt to Sydney). Just checked this morning and the refund for the taxes has arrived on my credit card and so far there hasn't been a cancellation fee charged. When I cancelled it did get "charged" as I got a notification from my credit...

    SIA redemption September 2020 - change booking or cancel/rebook

    All good, cancelled yesterday and managed to rebook for Singapore and Japan in April 2021 (fingers crossed). Probably will have a cancellation fee taken out of our refund, but i got the points back straight away so that's the main thing. Cancellation fee was only about $150ish from memory, but...
