Re: Hyatt Gold Passport - Redeeming Nights In Japan - Do Points Cover Additional Char I redeemed Hyatt Points in Japan in late 2011 - and never had any "additional" charges.

I'll be with the +1 at the Hilton Pattaya looking down on the common people partying, whilst sipping coughtails the Hilton's NYE party :D (and a big thanks to HHonors Diamond Rewards!)

Looks more like an entree! Sure they didn't serve the lunch menu by mistake? :p

You can usually buy fully refundable tickets with Skywest cheaper than flexisavers as well (and you get J class SC!). I don't even bother with redeptions - waste of points and money....... It is going to be a challenging cultural takeover - it's a very old fashioned airline and a few people I...

I received a nice two pack as well - Wolf Blass White Label aged release Chardonnay and a SC Pannell GSM :). Happy with that

Actually thinking about it now... yes that is the reason! :lol:

I'm down for two seats at the Perth advance screening... actually looking forward to it - haven't been to a cinema in a few years....

I just redeemed ~95K points for 2 (Y) PER - CCK- PER. Flights would have cost $2050. 2.15c a point seems good value - although more importantly I get a chance to go to the Cocos Islands

I have been doing about half my regular QF Y flights SYD-PER or MEL-PER with DJ with flexi upgrades over the past 2 months (inbetween the new QF year). On four occassions there have been less then 4 passengers in J - and on one flight I overheard that "they are all upgrades". I even had a DJ...

Did the Syd-Per A330 IN J on Friday (older bird) There were multiple IEFs out of order - in fact about 6 or 7 - all on the F/J/K side (but in no real pattern). Annoyingly of the ones that did work a number of the loop movies had poor quality. Was probably a good thing (in my case) as I had...

Clearly we must be on very different flights... I've had some shockers don't worry but in the 100+ QF domestic flights in the last year I would say 4 or five were below par. With the 30+ VA flights this year about 10 or so were poor (certainly my MKY-SYD VA flight (and pre-flight) experience...

I too think the Hyatt GoldPassport program is probably the best loyalty program - the hotels treat you very well as a diamond- as they know you have earnt it (no short cut for this level!) - but as you say the number of Hyatts in Australia isn't looking too good! Lucky I have 650K points to use...

Re: Will the end of the JSA impact QF points earning on BA (codeshare) flights? It appears a few QF intra-Europe codeshares with BA will remain (Qantas Industry website): Qantas and British Airways are in the process of winding down their Joint Services Agreement. From 31 March 2013, Qantas...

In many ways it is quite a clever change, (although I would have included JQ into this as well). I guess it follows the concept "loyalty bonus" not "fly lots of other OW airlines and we'll give you a bonus" as well. I reached P1 in September with 2 months to spare so put about half of my...

Yes - sounds very familar... Phone call centre - advises you to do it online - you go online and and it states to ring Velocity Centre for SkyWest claims..! Second call - please send us your boarding passes (which has my Velocity number on it, the booking class and everything else one would...

Had a lovely glass or two of a well-vintaged Mount Mary Quintet in SYD during one visit :p

Used P1 call centre today for a classic awards booking (who I also used to get the 'unavailable' connections) for my parents who very inexperienced flyers and are not the type who you can rush (if you know what I mean) ;) PQQ-SYD - was delayed more than 1.15hrs this morning leaving 22 minute...

Was on MEL-PER yesterday - The "Winter Vegetable Soup" was horrible. Had about two little pieces of celery in it and was effectively flavoured water. Even one of the cabin crew said "this one is not popular at all .... maybe a Spring Vegetable Soup may have been better!" They replaced a few of...

Was in the dom QClub PER last weekend - Saturday morning at 8am. About 30 pax total -it was calm, relaxed (even the lounge dragons were friendly!) After visiting the place 30+ times this year (and sometimes walking straight back out) - for the first time I can say it was actually a *really*...

Seat selection has been very handy indeed - especially for those of us who earnt P1 with 90% DOM Y, although doesn't work so great on Q400s...... On board service DOM - varies significantly - from being ignored by the CSM (whilst they great the WPs sitting around me!) ... to being looked after...
