Having had my wedding on the weekend, family from Adelaide were flying home Monday night. In the departure lounge my three-year old cousin was given a chocolate covered peanut by an unsuspecting older couple. Luckily his Mum saw it happen and they got it out of his mouth before swallowing but...

Cheers. Have locked it in!

Hi all, I've flown plenty of long haul to Bangkok in the old A330 fitout in Row 23/24 and had no trouble with the bulkheads (in fact found it very pleasurable). Upcoming flight in April to Honolulu, the Row 45 bulkheads are available in the middle. Seatguru says restricted legroom. I find this...

It's a very disappointing product offering but I've paid for it for the handicap which I am using in my first comp this weekend :). No tee-times at any fully private courses, no weekend tournaments. You'd think with Golf Australia on board they could deliver at least some exclusives even if...

You haven't noticed fares dropping in recent weeks? Fuel surcharges do not affect normal fares at all. If a fuel surcharge is applied, the base fare is reduced by the same amount. It's only frequent flyer tickets that fuel surcharges increase the cost for.

Virgin to remove fuel surcharges; puts pressure on Qantas to follow suit

I'm sure you could use an AA voucher to book a codeshare domestic flight within Australia? Sounds like best value.

Is it confirmed that I get platinum IHG if I join up and am already an Ambassador?

Selected extract of my email to them Full response Completely missing the point. Responded directly and haven't heard anything for almost two weeks so not holding out hope.

Booked a 7:25am flight from Heathrow and expected to get there from Victoria station by train in time.

Damn, figured I'd still get the ambassador benefits even if no points but we're already at our limits on budget so a $400 saving is perfect (plus could be more if FX rate gets worse as I expect. Been checking probably fortnightly for promotions already hence finding this deal today. The...

Further research on flyertalk (without posting there) seems to indicate the online rate needs to be in same currency so I've booked with expedia and cancelled my flexible booking with IHG. The expedia rate is refundable which is a massive bonus as well. My next question is will I still get the...

I'm an Intercontinental Ambassador. I have a refundable booking at a Mexican Intercon Resort in April for 6 nights. Current rate is $US1,992 for refundable inc taxes and service charges. If I convert to non-refundable it should go to about $US1,793. At current exchange rates that's about...

If you already have a club membership, I can see almost no value in the premium membership. Disgraceful product offering, I think I'll be one of the few to sign up though as I'm in the first year of a 10-year waiting list at NSW and not really playing enough at the moment to justify going...

So the email arrived this morning! $249 for premium membership. Very disappointed with the courses they've signed up, particularly in NSW. Not a single private course in Sydney that you can't get on through other very simple means. The AGU handicap is probably worth the cost though for me...

Points arrived in Qantas yesterday. Balance doubled!

I have a 7-flight itinerary for 2 people in the US/Mexico in April that I'm looking to change. The routing should stay the same but dates need to change. The flights are non-cancellable. There is a $200 change fee. Is that fee per flight or can I change 3/5 flights at the same time for the one...

They could just send him to NRT direct. Painful itin!

Is a 55 minute turnaround at JFK feasible? So the JFK flight now officially departs from Brisbane. Moving up in the world up north haha.

DREAM HYPOTHETICAL TIME WIth the SYD/DFW non-stop A380 flights I've been wondering about non-stop Europe flights from Oz. By comparing flight distances and the cheaper costs of JetConnect I've been thinking about how awesome it would be for Qantas to set up dual hubs in Perth and Auckland to...
