I always try and book OW ex Hkg to access the superb Cx Pier F. Unfortunately due to expiring Kris Flyer miles, I had to book Sq ex Hkg in Oct :(

Yeah, I got to LTG about 9 years ago...and have limped to a total of 21K lifetime SCs despite being Plat continuously since....it is cheaper (and easier) just to book flights incl status runs during dble SC promos to maintain Plat each year than to chase LT Plat!

Forget the security breach...the horror of having to sleep on the airport floor overnight!!!

We did this one from Windhoek, Namibia to Vic Falls, Zimbabwe last August. It was great but long days of travel https://www.kiboko.co.za/tour/deserts-rivers-wildlife-adventure/ @bPeteb did similar but started in Vic Falls and ended up in Cape Town. You can go the other way...

Avoid Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kawaguchiko, Takayama and to a lesser extent Kanazawa and you will get a great Japanese experience without the hordes of Western tourists...on our last trip in October last year, we chasesd the Autumn colours and went to Morioka, Akita, Lake Tazawa...

Any issues paying the Aust ATO with US Amex card? There is a 1.45% surcharge but I need to spend US$6000 in 6 months to get 150K Hilton pts. :)

Will this card ever be included in this promo again? Starting to doubt it.... :(

I should add the food in J from Hel to Hkg was a shocker unless you like reindeer! Smoked reindeer salad starter, and reindeer meatballs was one of the main choices. No Asian options despite the Asian destination and all Hong Kong female flight attendants.

Our flights weren't cancelled

I would avoid Flying Ay for now...risk of flight cancellation is real and high! Flew Ay Fco-Hel, Hel-Hkg, then Qf Hkg- Mel, starting last Mon. Have been on tenterhooks about flight cancellations; day before our flight Fco-Hel cancelled, 2 days after, Hel- Hkg cancelled. Dodged a couple of...

Yup...no sign of any activity at 11am...so made a toasted ham sandwich and boarded at 1135am

Does Spice Bar open at 11am? Hoping so as my flight is at 12 noon

Currently on board Ay99 Hel-Hkg about to takeoff so will have another 12 hours in this J seat...the only crticism is that you sit upright or lie completely flat...nothing in between ;)

I used to get blocked a lot when using my BW World MC...but now i get sms authorisation codes sent ( including whilst OS) to complete the transaction so no issues unless I misplace the phone ;)

Has been 9 years since I visited Budapest so memory is fading... Sign up for a "free walking tour"...i remember doing a couple to get oriented to the city...

I didn't get the offer but my sister in law did. Even if they did offer me this, they can shove it....I have found other better oprions for Fx spend....when I rang to ask if they would grant this near 20 year customer, a waiver of the fee for 12 months like they had to some customers, they told...

In October last year, we chased the Autumn colours by going to Northern Honshu Island: Morioka, Akita (+ Lake Tazawa), Hirosaki (and hired a car here to go around and stay at Lake Towada), and Aomori. Caught the JR East Shinkansen mainly but there is a scenic train along the coast from Akita to...

Withdrew €1000 from ATM a few days ago at just over 0.58 which I thought was bad...today it is 0.55! Still got another 9 days in Europe. :(
