    Q's re CNS domestic-> international transfers, QP and TRS

    Thanks for the reef lounge warning folks. I did the booking via JQ website, this was the cheapest return leg option and the shortest travel time. Via GC was more exxy and I think the other option for CNS had the later return time. However, it wasn't until ticketed that I realized the return leg...

    Q's re CNS domestic-> international transfers, QP and TRS

    Thanks for the info. Seems like I'll try the reef lounge via priority pass if the QF lounge is too far to walk back to. tix says JQ26 arrives and JQ16 departs Cns intl on the way back from Nrt. Arrives in SYD intl terminal. I don't have the itinerary with me, so not sure the flight numbers. So...

    Q's re CNS domestic-> international transfers, QP and TRS

    I'm heading to SYD-CNS-NRT and reverse in January and as it's my first time on JQ and via CNS, so I have some queries: 1. The SYD-CNS leg is domestic, so I assume I'll have to pickup luggage and re-check in CNS for the onward flight? 2. Is the TRS desk beyond the customs departure in CNS? Is...

    Master Priority Club bonus thread.

    Cheers markis10, Haven't stayed at an IHG hotel for a year but then checked out your codes again. Was a bit concerned having a gamble on the codes working but switched from QF earn to IHG earn... Just turned a 3600 point stay at a CP into 37K points. Great stuff!

    Do kids still get free toys on flights?

    My experience: Last flight int'l QF in 2012 there were Smiggle packs or Crayola packs for the kids. Kids enjoyed them and they were pretty neat. They both had bag tags in them. In 2010 and 2011 on SQ flights they handed out Nickelodeon branded soft toys. DL - random wing badges. VX -...

    Extra guest into the executive lounge?

    What I've done a few times, admittedly in Aus Hilton's is either call and speak to the lounge manager when you get there, or visit and ask nicely with a smile. I guess it depends on how long you're staying there, but for the occasional visit, I've never been turned down.

    VA7 BNE -> LAX in J

    I've previously got them to put the sleeping cover down and sit on that, and I've found some newer mattresses are thicker than older ones.

    I stayed here for 3 nits in December. Fantastic, genuine staff. Fantatic hotel. Welcome gift of fruit from memory. water everyday. Upgraded as a plat from a suite to a better suite. So I'm not surewhat theyll give you for a king room. Got drinks vouchers also. Didn't try brekky though. Being...

    Newbie to hotel status, any advice welcome

    Club Carlson is fine for your upgrades. and accor plat is ok in some hotels. Just check the benefits as serfty says. you can get gold hilton by paying for it via one of the other US forums . In my opinion that's the best one. Upgrades and free brekky.

    Open jaw long haul bookings

    I did this last year, outbound syd-lax-sfo, outbound JFK-lax-syd. I booked the DL internal flights and was lucky enough to be speaking with a supervisor who made a note for me to be able to change to VX when those flights showed. Did that with no charge. Also no charge over the phone as you...

    Priority Privilege in HK?

    My understanding is that this program is strictly for IC hkg, and not even the IC grand Stanford is included. The PAC region is separate to this.

    SYD-LAX as WP - should I select seats or just turn up?

    Suggest you assign via DL, call va and try and get something you want. Then checkin and request if that doesn't work.

    Cheapest way to get 260 Le Club points

    Car hire with europcar gets 250 points. Just google the microsite. That's 10points short! Re QF points, better move quickly. They are being devalued... Going to 5:4 rather than 1:1. https://secure.accorhotels.com/gb/leclub/benefits/partners/index.shtml Suggest you transfer 12000 now while you...

    Gold/Diamond [+anyone else][breakfast] Enhancement-coffee [now $5]-in Hilton Sydney!

    Re: Gold/Diamond [+anyone else][breakfast] Enhancement-coffee [now $5]-in Hilton Sydn I suspect it is a way to reduce demand on their barista. I was on glass two weeks ago on Sunday morning and waited 20mins for a flat white. I was sitting next to the barista and could see she was under the...
