    Singapore BA Lounge reopens in December 2024 after refurbishment

    I know that if I had a choice between the Qantas Business lounge and the BA Lounge, the latter would be my preference, crowded or not.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    I had a spend $120 on wine to get 1800 WW. Until the end of this month BWS online have a spend $200 or more in one transactions and get $30 off. I purchased $205 of wine to earn 2005 points at an outlay of $175 - the $25 cashback has already been tracked so that's $140 for $205 purchase...

    While that is true and the debit occurs on or just before the payment due date, this is not useful in the circumstances where you may need to free up some "available credit" to make an international purchase.

    The answer is in your post. So it's a subtle fee. If the $1.95 for BPay is less than the interest you could earn for the payment amount over 5 days then BPay it. Nett 40¢ per day interest earn on ~$3kcan readily be had.

    Qatar Airways Refund Terms and conditions - Beware

    I have found when researching economy fares for some airlines the saving difference in cost between the cheaper fares that don't allow any free seat selection and the next higher fare that allows some free seat selection can nearly be the same or less then the cost of selecting seats with the...

    Paper towels enhanced from lounges?

    I noticed no towels in March. Sad because I do not like to directly touch the door handles on the way out of the lavatory. There’s a reason American Airlines lounges have foot pads to pull the doors open.

    Qantas Sydney International Business Lounge

    The First cupboard was at concourse level, and you'd turn left from reception to it. Business was to the right and down the escalator overlooking gate 31. Both were closed after they built the mezzanine first/business lounges over gates 9 and 10 before the 2000 Olympics. (Although in 2006 they...

    Best Accor property in Melbourne

    Are you referring to Albert Park or the City Centre (I know you like the old Hilton)? SWMBO really likes the City Center Pullman for our staycations - central to her needs (🛍️) and finds the lounge a comfortable oasis. She does not like high floors so the Sofitel is a no go.

    12 hour layover in Changi - which hotel to pick?

    Yes, there's a bank of flights leaving 11pm-1am during/shortly after which you can generally find an unoccupied bed/lounge in the T3 KrisFlyer Business Lounge sleep area.

    Platinum Plus Perhaps ...

    My travel agent agreed it is possible to credit the Qatar flights in the DONE4 to Velocity, but would that mean? It was not time for another back of envelope calculation - it was more appropriate now to fire up the computer and set up a spreadsheet. OK, the four QR flights could garner 400 SC...

    Qantas Seat Selection

    How old are the passengers in your party? I ask this as it is unlikely Qantas would separate you from children. You might try seat selection again at T-80 hours before the flight (3 days, 8 hours). That is 2:10pm Tuesday 14th. QF44 on Saturday 17th has the following seat map (solid blue blocks...

    Escape Lounge at Cairns Airport International Terminal

    Yes, but until recently it was only open to passengers on a class of service or status basis travelling on those airlines which paid the lounge operators for the access. This has changed.
