    Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre (Chinatown) opening April 2024

    Yes, of course. And People's Park, but we visited them previously.

    Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre (Chinatown) opening April 2024

    Mrs Enthused and I had a stay at the Mercure ICON on Apr 22-27 and we loved the pool and facilities. The room is a bit small and only on one occasion when we were in the room did we get disturbed by the sound of drilling, and that was at around 4pm. I did manage the expectations of Mrs...

    I'm here Apr 20-26 so I'll post a review after this.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Ahhh yes, the old "enhancements" and "simpler and fairer". Ultimately, the doggo brekkie that it has become is why I'm not a QFFer.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    I have never understood why QFF doesn't credit SCs consistently across all OW partner airlines compared to QF metal/marketed or EK.

    Oz Based Tier Point Run

    Solid! My trip is in order to visit FNC for a few days and catch up with some mates who are getting together there. Also never visited Madeira before, and a new territory to add to the list (along with Sharjah, according to the TCC!) Otherwise, future trips will certainly be along the lines of...

    Oz Based Tier Point Run

    Unfortunately I don't reside in the UK, so I cannot benefit from the DTP offers with BAH. I joined BAEC when I was in Singapore for a few months for work and used my mum's residential address there! That was my workaround to join after I got screwed by AB's TopBonus collapse.

    Oz Based Tier Point Run

    My current BA year ends in Oct, so I'm trying to qualify early, but also trying to work out what my strategy will be between Oct 2024 and Apr 2025. I can sleep on a plane but I'm definitely grateful for what should be a direct flight back to SYD ex KUL.

    Oz Based Tier Point Run

    You want to string as many 2000mi sectors together to optimise TP earn. Short 4 hr flights, and usually on narrow bodies means you might need a layover to get decent sleep, MH F and QR Al Safwa lounges are open 24hrs which saves a night in a hotel. KUL-TPE, HKG-CGK, HKG-CTS, KUL-HND, HEL-LIS...

    Oz Based Tier Point Run

    This is my booked insanity. 5 separate tickets for KUL-TPE-KUL ($800), KUL-SYD-KUL ($2700), KUL-CMB-DXB-CMB-KUL ($1700), SHJ-DOH-MAD-DOH-SHJ ($2800), MAD-LIS-MAD ($600). I already have 175TPs and 3 BA sectors, so I'll comfortably hit Gold before I reach KUL. Enthused for Al Safwa action because...

    QR/AY J Australia to Helsinki for $5-6k return

    I spied an awesome fare BKK-HEL-LIS for around A$3.6k. HEL-LIS is also 2000mi so that's my 140TP sweetspot right there. The only trouble is getting to BKK before 0700 - I have an 0500 arrival into KUL and I don't think I have enough time to get to BKK in time.
