Thanks RooFlyer for the very useful information and that link! I'm going to schedule the night in Miami... just too much stress. Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm a bit stuck in my circumstance. I'm actually going AMS-LHR-MIA-CUN in one day. So I need to either do an overnight in one of those places or change the routing entirely. The Cancun flight is the last one of the day but they look to have multiple a day, so if we...

Hi all. After some advice please. I've booked a flight from London to Cancun, via Miami. BA209 to AA2492. Points in J. All one ticket. Flight in arrives at 6.05pm and flight out at 7.45pm, leaving 1hr 40mins to connect. What's the chance of actually making it? Just on a regular ESTA...

Standard YMMV but an upgrade from the base room to a suite is pretty good! My room was facing out to the street. No noise at all but would have been nice to overlook the pool. Could ask for that. Shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes on the clock, so 1pm,1.30pm, etc. We got picked up at the...

Hilton Garden Inn Bali Ngurah Rai Airport 1 night stay - base reward booking @5000 points. Upgraded to 1 bedroom suite Diamond Just transiting on the way to Malaysia, so booked this room at the bargain price of 5000 points. Recognised as diamond and treated well. Hotel is actually quite nice...

PG ticketed and economy. I thought I might be able to access a Oneworld lounge based on connecting to a J flight that same day. But reading again, I see where you're going. I would need to be connecting from a Oneworld airline... and as gold, I'd get access regardless of the KUL-SYD flight...

Great. Understand now. Thanks for that! Passing through about midday, so looks like CX for me.

Thanks Happy Trails. So I should be able to access one of those lounges based on the fact that I have a MH J flight later that day, despite the fact my next onward flight is on Bangkok Airways?

Hoping for some advice! I'm travelling Bangkok Airways (PG ticketed) from Chiang Mai to Kuala Lumpur, via Bangkok. I have a Qantas ticketed (MAS operated) flight home later that day in Business class. Also Qantas Gold if that makes any difference. Am I likely to be able to access any...

I do appreciate that but as I said to the agent on the phone, I went on qantas.com.au and booked a one way ticket from Malaysia to Australia. Yes, it got ticketed from there but as far as I'm concerned, I bought a ticket from Qantas. I only cancelled because I stuffed up the currency...

So while on the phone to Qantas to again chase a refund, I came across this thread. Cancelled a J class fare from KL to Sydney more than 6 weeks ago. Was told at the time that it would take 7 to 10 days. Called them again today and was told that I'll be put in the priority action queue and to...

So I asked in the lounge this morning as to why I was having a paid upgrade pushed on me and the lady backed up what the front desk told me. As a Diamond, I'm eligible for an upgrade to the Relaxation Room or the Junior Suite. As the Junior Suite wasn't available, no upgrade for me. She said...

It's certainly interesting. Having been burnt before in the hope of an upgrade, I tend to book the minimum room I'll be happy with. So not overly upset. But still, if I've booked the top of the 'room' category, I think it's fair to assume the next 'space available' room would be a suite of...

Yes.. that pretty well sums it up!

Just had an interesting experience checking into Hilton Sydney. Diamond member. Booked a Relaxation Room. At checkin, the lady starting going on about how there is a Relaxation Suite available and how nice it is. Then said I could be upgraded for the low price of $80 / night! Was happy...
