Re: 2015 Vintec wine cellar offer Can anyone with similar size fridges comment on the power consumption of these?

Thanks CJEMNMAC - I only spot-checked Y and J, and am in the middle of doing a systematic day-by-day search of Y+/J. Will return to do another pass for Y. That's really far out. I take it that if there are no reward availability for redemption then an upgrade would not be available either...

I'm looking for 2 J seats in Sept/Oct, and I can't see anything other than Any Seat (the ones for ludicrous amounts of points) I've tried spot-checking other months into next year, checked for Y, and still nothing. Is there an easier way to check other than manually clicking through each day...

I got mine in email on 6th May.

Really tempted, but changing to KF for SQ J flights into Asia is pretty good...

Thanks for the tip calgarychris! I've had the form for the Plat Reserve sitting on my desk for a few weeks. Looks like I should give them a call and send it in ASAP!

I've only had the card for a week and it's already making me re-think about renewing it next year.

Thanks mitwg - They've never been able to upgrade me to an Exec Floor room before, so it makes sense. I'll make sure to ask specifically for access next time. Can't hurt right? :-) Thanks!

Thanks mitwg, I'll definitely do that next time. I'm most often at the Conrad Singapore and Hilton Tokyo However, I can't find any reference on the HHonors site to lounge access for Gold. I can see it for Diamond status. The page I'm looking at is Loyalty Rewards from Hilton HHonors. Am I...

I did get an upgrade from el cheapo room to a suite at Hilton Tokyo, but it turned out they didn't even have my HHonors Gold number on file - that was purely because I informed them it was my honeymoon. However as an Honours Gold, I've never been offered club access before. Are you saying just...

Thanks for the suggestion vantage03 - that's exactly what I did. The agent confirmed the website limitation for redemptions and when I asked about the discount she said it was absolutely no problem and put it all through including the payment.

I'm currently trying to book a redemption flight from SYD-HKG return, but for the return HKG-SYD leg the only options the website is giving me see departure from HKG at 0800 on SQ1 or 0905 on SQ857. All the options mean a minimum layover in SIN of 7hr 20min. Is this because these are the only...

Thanks eminere! I was wondering what EF stood for in other posts!

You'll have to excuse me for silly questions, but how do I figure out whether a particular flight PER->SYD on 15 Sep is the new config A330 or the old one? The link to seat maps when booking are quite generic. On VA you get to the seat selection screen before the payment screen - I think it...

MH_fan, can see why you're confused. I'm currently SG after soft-landing from WP. However I have a bunch of upcoming overseas flights which will see me re-qualify (or maybe that's qualify) WP. I haven't updated my profile.
