    First time to the US - comments on itinerary

    You have lots of advice already, and interesting you have the full spectrum from 'I hate LA' "Disney is boring' to those that love both. Have travelled to the US over 10 times, and spent 6 weeks there this past december. Did LA, Phoenix, Texas, NY, and Florida. One thing we realised once...

    USA with kids - advice please!

    Don't mean to be negative on the advice given on this website, but alot of the previous advice appears to be from people that either haven't travelled to the US and definetly haven't travelled with kids your age. I hope you are also getting advice from tripadvisor and such other sites and not...

    Million Altitude Rewards Points - Best Options

    Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of the singapore option I will have to do some research into their frequent flyers. The points have been acrued over many years, and I cannot see there being many other better credit card options, not a fan of Qantas so I steer clear of any card linked...

    Million Altitude Rewards Points - Best Options

    Hi. We should have around 1 million altitude points which we can convert to around 6700 AirPoints, or 500,000 with Singapore, V or Malaysian. We fly mainly to the USA hence we usually fly AirNZ but wondering if the experts here can advise if we are better of converting to them to one of the...

    if anyone can advise on which seats I should request that would be a great help. we usually get 4 in the middle, and i was going to ask for as close to the front of the plane as possible. but would love to hear if there are some seats that are better than others.

    Air NZ Premium Economy - worth $1000

    Yes, I think you are right on IMPD, what you say makes sense. if it was $4000 for business then it would be worth it. Appreciate everyone's input, it really helps to discuss with people who know a bit about travel.

    Air NZ Premium Economy - worth $1000

    THanks for the replies. I understand that it is a personal thing, $4000 is a bit of money, well for me, and we would survive without it. So I am juggling the competing issues in my mind at the moment. I did save $1500 on the original booking so i am kind of swaying towards going for Premium. I...

    Hi. Not sure if this is the right place for this question. But I would like to know if anyone has travelled Premium Economy on Air NZ to the USA? It will cost us (family of 4, kids 7 and 9) $1000 a piece to upgrade our flights to San Francisco to MElbourne (one way only). I am tempted to try it...

    Star Alliance /Air NZ Lounge

    thanks for that. The united one looks interesting. The priority club also gives you all the united lounges but not the reciprical rights to Star Alliance clubs. Would the united spouse membership include children ?? It would make it alot easier if there was one that covered all Star Alliance.

    Star Alliance /Air NZ Lounge

    Hi. I would like to know if there is a club you can join like the Priority Club but that gives you access to the AirNZ or Star Alliance Clubs. We don't travel that often but with two kids I am happy to pay to get into the clubs whilst waiting around the airport. Any help appreciated.

    Review of NZ FFP

    So which card is best for Airpoints? With the removal of Amex as a partner of Airpoints I am wondering which card is best to earn airpoints with? I have checked around and Bankwest is 500 - 1 airport ration. Does anyone know if this is the best you can get? Thanks.
