Haven't you just described premium economy???;)

Oman "cheap" fares seem to have disappeared but good lucking your quest

I put $200 on my amex and the rest on Citi debit card when overseas. Might as well pay 3% on the absolute minimum!!

Please stay on topic!! I recently visited Ireland and forgot to bring TimTams, due to super busy pre-departure week at work. Irish were MAJORLY not happy. Have to bring double quota (maybe double-choc) next time.

I remember Jennifer Aniston switching from first class Emirates to economy, with a total stranger and it all seemed hunky-dory with the staff. So I'd think you'd have precedent on your side.

Another sucker on ABC news website wants me to reimburse him for sending $500,000 to a crypto website, at the behest of his Asian WhatsApp girlfriend whom he had never met. When will this ever end??

Both. Plat charge with a side credit plat explorer

Phone call took 2 minutes. Nothing offered. Didn't ask. Card closed. 1m spend over two years.

Dunno. They are all a bit coughpy now with poor transfer rates. Probably look for highest sign on bonus and one that offers insurance if you spend $500 on travel expenses rather than buy the flight tickets.

Not seeing the value any more... SQ enhancement, dining bonus ending 2024, awful service from Amex travel. Will need at least 150,000 to 200,000 MR to stay. I've done the sums and that is where the cost:benefit ratio works for me. Anything less and I am gone. I won't need to go through to...

So, I used Nord to watch the Ashes in London last year. Had tickets for 2 days at Lord's but watched the rest at the home of our London hosts who had tickets for all days. Nord worked fine. I accessed Channel 9 coverage in Australia while in UK. Is that illegal?

275,000 for you, but only for platinum charge card.
