    Avianca Lifemiles cancelled redemption experience

    I am 99% sure that what I had had refunded was the tax component. The change in the exchange rate from booking - refund caused me to get confused. Let it be known that this (getting confused) has been known to occur with far less complicated scenarios than this one :) ; just ask my wife.

    Some legs with points, some with cash..

    MH was surprisingly quite cheap from IST to MEL/SYD one way $600 ish with a free KUL stopover when I checked 2 weeks ago. It was only cheap coming back. Going out was not attractive at all.

    VVF Gold, just shy of required SC to maintain..

    On my old velocity gold card it mentions that this card is valid (along with the access benefits I assume) for a further 28 days from the review date. I cant see this on the new global wallet card however.

    Singapore hotels advice

    I recently stayed at both Roxy and Novotel Clarke Quay. The rooms were nicer at the Novotel, the location is fantastic and the view was outstanding. We caught the Marina Bay Sands laser light show at night from our room! The Roxy was pleasant but it was out from the centre of town a bit.

    Kyrgyzstan ! Has anyone been?

    I recently was denied check in at Singapore because my itinerary did not meet the requirements for the Chinese 72 hour Visa, (SQ). I was flying with SQ to HKG then CA to PEK.

    China Southern

    It looks like that site is Chinese and therefore would be pricing in CNY (chinese yuan), I cant tell for sure because of the mobile number verification code.
