    Best Car rental for Personal Amex Platinum

    Had a horrid experience with Sixt in Europe made through Amex Travel. In saying that, Amex CC have been great in resolving issues. So there is that to consider. We have a wide range of car rental options in Australia that are competitive - so it shouldn't matter much from who to use.

    BLR terminal transfer time

    I am in BLR multiple times a year. Indigo has been dropping the ball lately and it is no secret that the CSR needs a complete overhaul.

    BLR terminal transfer time

    I can concur that as per AAA99's post that it is quicker to walk between the both terminals. The issue mostly is with Indigo (6E). If QF and 6E destination are not interlined at the origin airport - it is even more problematic as the bags have to be individually checked in (and the time limit...

    Redemption Tickets

    Did not think SQ and Star Alliance redemption tickets could be married anyway. I think the posters are all trying to marry SQ individual redemption segments from A-B and B-C to A-C, such as to avoid paying more miles

    Redemption Tickets

    This is what I meant. I could have them combined by speaking to an agent in Feb 23 (yes he said it could not be done at first but eventually did combine after speaking to a supervisor). However, recent posts by other posters dealing with multiple CSR appear to not have it marrried. So either its...

    Redemption Tickets

    Wow.. looks like the goal posts have been moved. Sad if it is the case, as it does not make sense to pay more points when individual redemptions are available.
