Except if you renew through Amex Platinum card benefit.

I’ve qualified for Forever Gold. Mostly made up from 7 years of work travel between CNS and BNE/SYD on (first DJ and then) VA. For some years I also stayed QF WP (hit P1 one year also). I’ve reached QF LTG already, so now I can revert to BFOD for our occasional domestics family trips, though va...

Ah, they must have added that in the 10 years since I last read the T&Cs. Thanks

Whose midnight, I’ve always wondered…?

I bought Travelon scales many years ago. When I was looking then my research found they were the lightest and most compact scales that I could find at that time. I couldn’t understand why some were so bulky and big when I was trying to minimise weight...

In preparation for our recent trip in Paris, my research showed they had recently changed how the metro tickets work, including the tourist passes. So perhaps it was enchanced during this change. The tourist passes isn’t much value except if you are travelling to the airports, which seems...

They have plenty of sweets/chocolate options… you just have to ask. Tim tams, Cadbury chocolate, white macadamia balls… I know it’s not Lindt, but it is available.

If you’re planning on visiting other major (and minor) museums in Paris, the Paris Museum Pass was good value and allows ability to skip entry queues at some places. Some places still needed a booked time entry, but having the Pass sped things up in most places. It is consecutive days though, so...

In contrast, on recent EK flights, they specifically stated, “we don’t use gimmicks or celebrities… we just want to give you the safety info…”. Seemed to be staff and “regular” people in the video.

The new divider between economy and business. There’s another thread somewhere discussing it. (Don’t have the link sorry…)

I'm curious: did I make a travel mistake recently? It's been a while since I've been through DXB, and I've previously travelled by myself, and I don't think I ever recall arriving at C Concourse with a transfer to either B gates or A gates. Arrived from CDG last week at C gates, and had to...

Troy Cassar-Daley sat behind me in EK J back from DXB the other day. We were in the infant seats, and I felt even more conscious of our son and our phaffing around during boarding once I recognised him. He was very pleasant though. We’d had a poo-nami event just before boarding, so everything...

I would’ve thought “DYKWIA” was the most important 😜 Welcome to AFF

Yeah I think I’m thinking doesn’t their BCN route go via MXP?

Aren’t some of those airports the mid point for their fifth-freedom flights on to USA…? So you’re competing not just with end-point redemptions. (Or am I getting g confused with emirates )

BNE-CNS 10:40 departure on Friday 23-May Beef quesadilla. It was delicious. Other offer was a vegetarian tagine (I think) with optional chicken. Only had apple juice - feeling jet lagged from Paris return overnight. Alaric was excellent CSM. Even offered a drinks service before the meal...

For anyone interested, I went with Lycamobile France for our week in France. It only cost ~$10.50 AUD on conversion for 40GB - way more than I’d need for a week, but that was minimum for 5G speeds. I’m sitting on LTE however, and haven’t had a chance to check the settings. Everything seems to...

my guess is it would register as the renewal for your next year, but it’s only a guess. I redeemed my Platinum benefit in the final month of my paid membership, and the membership just rolled over at renewal date.

An Airbnb I stayed in Tokyo was very specific in their departure instructions asking not to leave suitcases. I guess they may have been left with someone’s discarded case once and were left responsible with disposal. Vaguely knowing Japan’s rigorous rubbish regime, I wondered if it perhaps cost...
