The check-out day is the one that counts - even if a 20 days stay over December with the check out being 1 Jan . Have done this over the last 3 years :)

Interesting - I regularly stay at both, although admittedly I stay at the Hilton purely for Promos (and occasional bargains) and to maintain diamond (otherwise I would probably give it a miss) however I prefer staying at the Hyatt - actually it has become one of my favourite hotels in Australia...

I wonder if the "complimentary food" is better than the existing flexi meals...... not that it would be difficult....

This has happened twice to me before when I really had to get another connection or had to get to a client site - constantly being advised boarding is soon but then delayed again and again (and incorrectly -" the plane will arrive in 40 minutes" - a check of the outgoing airport site shows it...

After a recent flight (Darwin -Perth) on VA I can tell you it was also the last - I had my bosses with me (visiting from the UK) and all our flights previously were QF around Australia and they were horrified that for a flight of nearly 4 hours there was only tea coffee or water AND the food...

Was driving past DM at Epping (Vic) for work - and can confirm they have 2 bottles left.. they did have more :D Now how to get them back to Sydney.....

Had this issue a few times. one option that works sometimes, use Qantas Hotels as they are sometimes the same as the Quest Direct special rates direct but you earn QFF points.

Recently stayed at the London Andaz and the Amsterdam Andaz. Chalk and Cheese. London room was not functional, diamond (GPP) recognition was very poor as was the room. Staff not helpful and check-in process is still dysfunctional. Unlikely to stay here again unless I needed the location...

Maybe they were being proactive and thinking of the handful of QF codeshares that leave from Terminal 2 ...:rolleyes:

Since I have reached Plat1 with QF with 2 months of unusable SC earn left, I have started re-directing some flights to VA in order to maintain Plat for the next year. Must admit haven't been all that impressed with about 5 out of 6 flights of late (all to or from PER) - checked bags not...

Flew PER-SYD on Monday (sadly an old EY 330 bird) but the IFE was appalling. It actually reset itself every hour on the hour and was poor quality. The J cabin was only 3px but there was one very annoyed passenger in front on his first VA 330 experience trying to watch a movie... (along with...

Flat fee CC charge is fairly common now in most Australian hotels chains - Hilton, Hyatt, IHG. Lucky you were not at a Rydges - they charge 3.5% for Amex....

Current "Australia-Wide" sale has some great Flexi fares on sale - considerably undercutting VA flexis on PER routes... interesting !

Re: QANTAS's domestic sale(s) Current "Australia-Wide" sale has some great Flexi fares on sale - considerably undercutting VA flexis on PER routes... interesting !

Took me more than 2.5 months for PER- Derby flights to get credited..... yet Esperance ones were less than a week. The joys of VA....

Ditto - I will renew again since conception. Not sure about next year as moving back to Sydney. Shame it didn't come in earlier as it would have been 6 years in a row.... - 80% of it domestic (& NZ) Y. So yes benefits wise in the air - not much for me being mainly domestic- but the P1...

Did use Qantaslink but noticed hardly any difference in T3. Lounges seemed the same, just a lot more destinations on the boards. Did notice quite a few QF staff in bright red jumpers over in T2 entrances and it looks like all the references to QantasLink at T2 have gone. Took a photo from the...

Currently hover around the 1M-1.2M mark but reached 2M last year before finally having some time free to use some of them....

Good luck getting anything off VA - after a flight cancellation mid trip - it took me 2.5 months, 6 calls and many emails to finally get a letter - and that as a Platinum Member, and with emails to the Office of the CEO !

PER is getting pretty close second to the bottom then - bland, out of a big tin food -machines are often broken or dirty. Makes you realise how much they appreciate their Perth FFs.... Last time I was there at 1130am it was full of rowdy (and getting rather tanked) foul-mouthed individuals...
