Earlier this year I used my Platinum Charge $450 and Reserve $400 travel credits to purchase SK flights from LHR to Norway and purchased "SAS Plus Pro" fares that provide lounge access, seats near the front, 2 x 23kg bags and are fully refundable. I used the $450 travel credit towards tickets...

We will be renting cars in Germany, Austria and Slovenia later this year. I usually use Hertz as I am Gold Plus Five Star from my Amex Platinum card and one of the benefits is no additional driver charge for a spouse. The Hertz Australia website lists "Free Additional Driver - Applicable for...

We put our QFF number for the flights. Late this afternoon we received 4000 QFF points for the J FRA-DXB flight but haven't received the points for DXB-SYD yet, although I would expect that they should be through by tomorrow. I must say we were surprised when we arrived at FRA from EZE that...

When he offered flights that day he originally offered us a flight that departed less than 3 hours after the time we were speaking with him and we told him we couldn't make that flight as we had to pack and leave the hotel to check in for the flight so he then offered us the evening flight which...

After I spoke to a customer service rep at Lufthansa on Monday evening when our Tuesday evening FRA-SIN flight was cancelled and we were moved to SQ from FRA on Thu Feb 08 we went to a Lufthansa ticket office at FRA on Tuesday morning to enquire about compensation for the two day delay and we...

We are currently staying at a Frankfurt airport hotel ready for an LH flight FRA-SIN connecting with SQ SIN-SYD in J as the final part of our RTW revenue fare. Late this afternoon I received a notification that LH778 for Tue 06 Feb has been cancelled and to use the chat function to organise...

We‘re on the plane now!

This morning the SYD airport website shows LA800 as operating and I received a Flight Change notification overnight from TripCase showing our flight has been rescheduled from Cancelled to departing SYD at 11:35. FlightAware also shows that the flight is now scheduled for 11:35. We’ve checked...

Thanks. Yes I will.

I‘ve just checked FlightAware again and LA801 has departed SCL and is scheduled to arrive in AKL at 05:20 tomorrow morning. It‘s also still showing the AKL-SYD leg scheduled to arrive in SYD at 09:30 as cancelled.

Thanks pjm99au and SYD. We decided to still travel to the Rydges hotel tonight so we‘re already at the airport if they advise we are being booked on another flight to AKL rather than our original flight if it is cancelled.

Thanks pjm99au. Hopefully it is still operating. It's just when you see the flight tracking sites as well as SYD airport showing the SYD-AKL legs cancelled you don't hear anything from the airline that you worry. We had a change of seats when I checked in last night and they seem to have...

We are booked on LA800 tomorrow (Wed 03 Jan) that is scheduled to depart SYD at 11:35. I have done online check-in and received an email from Latam this morning with details of our flight. At 11:39 I received an app notification and an email from TripCase advising that LA800 0n Jan 03 has...

Thanks for posting this Must....Fly! I've been looking for a J Award BA LHR-VCE flight for next October. Using QFF points the only flights available are BA flights departing LHR at 1720 and 1905 for 30,000 points + £52 each. After reading your post I logged in to my BA account and they had...

I did a transfer yesterday from my Amex charge card to KrisFlyer to cover enough for a return trip to Europe for two of us. As others have noted, earlier today we could still transfer at 2:1 since Amex must be using US time. I've just logged in again to Amex and the following is displayed as...
