When I did it the other day, the website was broken and tried to charge before the assessment occurred. Did it today and it worked as expected (and you described it). Might try to cancel the Qantas insurance and find something (anything!) I can charge to my card as $75x2 is a lot cheaper than...

I went through this the other day. I have a physical disability and they make you pay the $75 assessment fee before the assessment of whether they cover you. This was slightly frustrating because I have no way of knowing before paying the fee whether my particular issue is on the list and the...

Yes - that's in the cover. https://www.citibank.com.au/global_images/complimentaryinsurance/pdf/mcg7932_0319_citi_description_of_cover_final.pdf

My local in Richmond Victoria also went from being a VC to a Liquorland as part of a broader removal of both VC and First Choice. Kinda sucks TBH, as Liquorland tends to have a pretty ordinary range. More here: Coles set to axe Vintage Cellars and First Choice brands as it takes fight to Dan...

3x points this morning. Yawn...

Book direct if you can unless the online travel agency offers a large discount. And check what you're buying too (as things like checked luggage may not be included in the 'cheap' fare). Further, if anything goes wrong/needs to be changed, you'll probably be in for a world of pain (and often...

Probably worth searching the interwebs. The vibe from what I’ve read is that while their soft product is ‘getting there’, there are still a lot of *very* clapped out planes flying in dire need of a refurb (particularly their 787s, which fly into Australia, and their own 777s). Has your friend...

Yes, it was nice while it lasted. I will hopefully get to use the points it generated for a SQ J flight back from NYC, and if so, will toast Citi for its generosity...

Yes, Accor Plus offers 20 status nights.

Cheers! Only silver so little chance it seems. Hopefully I'll at least get poor man's business class for the outbound. Might grab an exit row seat for the flight back.

I've managed to fluke classic rewards in Y from MEL-SYD-HNL on 28/12/24 and HNL-SYD on 1/1/25. :) Have put in for upgrades but I suspect the likelihood is somewhere between Buckley's and none. Could someone advise me of the loads on QF103 (SYD-HNL) on 28/12/24 and QF104 (HNL-SYD) on 1/1/25?

One more for the mix: Travelog, whose videos are anonymous and who has a day job, both of which are always promising signs in the world of Youtube flight reviews. Patrick Shea also assembles detailed flight reviews of obscure airlines (but always has weird sound). (Otherwise, as mentioned...

2x for me. Woooo... /s

Also glitching when looking up JQ flights for me.

Mine was 20k/$180x4 or 10k/$130x4. Still a few weeks to go before the Flybuys algorithm to work out I’m a cheapskate.

If you've never signed up for Accor Plus, it's 40% off at the moment. Looking at the same random dates in April I plugged in, it was $3.8k for non-members, $3.6k for ALL Members and $3.3k for Accor Plus for a flexible room rate, and you'll get 20 status nights which, when combined with the nine...

You're quite correct. (Was getting mixed up with cases on codeshares sold by EU carriers on non-EU carriers, which is where courts have held EU carriers liable)

What a pain! UK261 will still apply (with Brexit, this was one of the many EU rules that was incorporated into the UK more or less unchanged), unless EK comes to the party in DXB. Google UK261 to get more info on it. Regulation EC261 vs UK261 - UK Air Passenger Rights is worthwhile looking at...

Mine expires on 15 December. Have already cancelled it (you still get the benefits if on an annual subscription) and have put a reminder in my calendar to resubscribe on 16 December.
