I am also Diamond and my understanding is that I get all my Accor benefits if I use Step. Have you a link to Impressario as I would like to see how that works. The other Step benefit is that they often have a 3rd or 4th night free, so that would be nice to pickup. The example I have seen was for...

I also contacted the Step agent via Accor Plus FB. His name is Stijn and is based in the Netherlands. I’m looking at booking with him as the usd $100 credit is very attractive for short stays. The rates seem to be similar to a refundable rate directly with Accor. also the free breakfast is a...

Does anyone know what business seats Virgin are releasing on this route. As soon as seats were available for early Feb24 I searched various routes ex Aust (including new OOL route) and dates and couldn’t find any availability. I was speaking to Virgin last week for a particular flight and they...

1675730470 I flew DPS-BNE in Virgin Business on 5Feb and agree it is very sub-standard. We were in row 2 and seats did recline but as usual our meal order was taken last and they had run out of choice of meals. Offered a vegetarian meal which I strongly object to as being the only alternative...

This is a real disappointment for me as I browse the AFR on my iPad every day and click on any articles that interest me. Their personal investment sections on Wed and Sat are very good value. So I will take DRD71 advice and email them. I was hoping there would be 100's of entries on this thread...

Yes please we have a flight on 31march

MR61 I could write reams on this because we agonized over which cruise to choose from late 2017 for a cruise we did in November 2018. My advice is to get back to basics by which I mean you need to ask yourself what do you want from the cruise eg comfort versus adventure. We choose adventure...

Yes you transfer to QFF but only after they are accrued at Le Club; and transfer rate is 1:1. So you have to log inot Le Club, click on "Manage my Le Club Accorhotels points" and complete the form. There is a minimum of 4000 points to transfer. I don't bother as I stay at Accor enough to use...

I am LeClub gold member but have seen some blogs on promo's (now expired) on how to become PT. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am Virgin PT if that helps. thanks

I have a conference at Impact and looking for an Accor hotel which is convenient for one of the mass transport systems in BKK. Novotel BKK is full and not sure whether to book at Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok (next closest but still miles away), VIE Hotel Bangkok or the Pullman Bangkok King...

Yes you have to have the points in your account first before you can complete the booking (or you can use points + pay). I have found better availablity when you do the whole trip (OW) in one transaction rather than splitting into two sectors (and it is cheaper). Also for super savers, if you...

Can somone clarify how long these vouchers last, I thought they were valid for 6 months, but the last posts says 12 month and others have also mentioned this timeframe.

I received my first annual voucher in Nov10 (must have just made the cut-off). I had to ring KF to find out how to use it....a little box pops up on the award booking screen...very easy to miss. I recently tried to use the voucher for an award booking in Sep11, it would not accept it, so another...

Does this community ever setup online petitions- would love to set one to send to SQ and Westpac over these recent changes

Re: Kris Flyer Points Significant changes I am going to review the web sites that compare these cards. I also recall both Choice and AFR did recent reviews, so will look at that as well. However I would love to see Virgin take up the challenge and provide a PT card (visa or mastercard) with a...
