    Luxury Escapes

    I have followed the LE advertising for a long time now and we booked our first adventure earlier this year. We had a week in the Maldives via one of their all inclusive promotions followed by 3 nights in Singapore on the return trip. It was seamless, everything was organised as we had been...

    Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Canada. closer to home - the wildflower season of West Australia - especially the Coral Coast & Pilbara as well as later around the Stirling Ranges in the Great Southern. Spectacular.

    Which whizz-bangery are you using to make your flying better?

    I have done a similar thing. I re-purposed a Royal Brunei Amenities Pack given to me by a friend. It's about the size of a pencil case but a little fatter, so fits chargers for phone, camera, tablet, kindle as well as an international adaptor and a Kinchrome pocket power bank and some earbuds...

    WBC Altitude Black MasterCard and AmEx Query

    I also read the reams of conditions attached to my recent statement. I took it to mean that the Earth Black card is still an unlimited earn for points. The other wording just seemed to remove the words Bonus Partners and replace with Bonus Points. No change for Earth Black card holders, I think.

    Scootbiz PER to SIN. Any comments?

    We are flying Scootbiz Perth to Singapore for a quick 5 day Xmas lights visit on 24 Dec. As we don't have much experience using LCC, what should I expect. We are normally QFF flyers so were interested in anyone else's experiences with Scoot. Thanks in advance for your feedback.:confused:

    First Post.............joined many years ago

    Thank you everyone for your comments. Yes, I found the IHG Dining Rewards not a patch on the Priority Privilege that it replaced. We used to get value with the 50% dining discount (for 2) and the 2-for-1 nights at Crowne Plaza/Holiday Inn/IHG properties along with the other freebies. However...

    First Post.............joined many years ago

    After joining AFF in 2010, I have finally summoned the courage to make an initial post. I have used the various posts for many great ideas on best seating on long flights, info on different airports when you have a 3 hour layover between flights etc. but thought I should get rid of the line on...
