Hi all, I booked a ‘cheap’ Etihad guestmiles award/reward flight in business class, and I can’t find any info on whether I can access their business lounges (or partner airlines lounges). The flight cost me 180,000 miles for SYD-AUH-FCO (I think that’s the minimum), but lounge access isn’t...

Hi all. We flew night flight 6.25pm Mel to Singapore and we didn’t get offered pjs. Just wondering what amenities could my wife and I ask for on the flight home?

Taking a few trips soon and will be collecting a few toiletry bags from J seats. Do the contents of the toiletry bags you receive from the airline need to go in a transparent bag when going through security? I don't recall having to do so when I was in the US.

I received an email the other day for this promo: “When your business signs up to IHG Business Edge and a company representative stays at least one qualifying night by 14 May 2024, your business will be rewarded 5,000 IHG One Rewards points.” Further down in the email, it mentions instant IHG...

My daughter and her new husband chose to go to NZ for their honeymoon so I used Qantas points to book them on EK412 from Sydney to Christchurch in Business class. Before they flew I suggested that they casually mention to the crew on boarding that they were on their honeymoon. I thought they...

I'm wanting to use points for a ski trip next year in Jan/Feb. I'm wanting to fly Business class (or first if I find the unicorn) and am pretty open with dates, but I'm finding very little availability and nothing that seems enticing. The AA site seems to only give me routings on Fiji Airways...

We’re looking at booking Business Class flights from Perth to Europe later in the year, maybe with Emirates as their schedules, all A380's and take-off/landing times etc suit. As the return Business Saver fares for 2 come in at over $3,600+ cheaper than a Flex fare, were looking at a Saver...
