You might be posting similar questions across several programmes, but I do not know of any FF programme where you cannot do this. Give them a call, ask to cancel the ticket of one of the passengers but keep the rest of the booking intact. I have done this quite a few times for various reasons...

I haven't noticed any difference between my FlyBuys offers before, and after, taking up Coles Plus Saver. It's hard to tell for sure -- who knows what offers are only sent to Coles Plus Saver members? -- but I haven't noticed any increase, particularly in the number and frequency of freebies...

I took a photo of the menu at The Back Room if you're interested. And sorry to hijack your thread ... didn't realise that linking to my post would take so much space...!

Yes, The Back Room speakeasy. Great fun! http://www.backroomnyc.com/ https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/a-boyhood-dream-fulfilled-space-geek-tour-of-the-usa.116415/post-2806930

It's a diner and not a restaurant, but I had great fun at Ellen's Stardust Diner in January. It's a Manhattan diner (very hear Broadway and Times Square) where the staff are all aspiring Broadway actors and break into song in between serving you. The food and drinks were pretty good too, and...

SQ releases the bulkhead seats 96 hours before the flight if you call or via online chat. Well worth it if you can snaffle one!

Hello and welcome! You've certainly come to the right place when it comes to this stuff. There must be hundreds, if not thousands of years worth of accumulated wisdom and experience on this site. My 2c worth: You say you have a "hefty" FlyBuys balance. That balance can be transferred to...

And in your opinion did it limit the number of Economy passengers walking up to the Business toilet?

@AFF Editor Could you also try to find out whether same-day upgrades to First using points will still be available to non-Skywards elite members?

I would welcome a gym at an airport, especially if I had a long layover. But no shower afterwards? Ewww!

Yeah, MEL is so fantastic that it doesn't even have a rail line to the airport! (In fairness, though, it has the cheapest airport parking in the country... and at least you can walk between the terminals).

Having lived in Leichhardt for a couple of years, I have no problems with the curfew, at least to the north of the airport. Yes, noise insulation helped, but all it took was a hot summer night requiring opening the window, and it was too noisy to sleep.

How common is this in AmEx lounges? This was the AmEx lounge in DCA...

I love the idea of separate lounges/areas where the more premium customers get an elevated experience -- which, to me, means more space and, as @ThePointyEnd pointed out (no pun intended!) above, peace and quiet. I don't care about the champagne or a la carte dining: but when the lounge is...

Almost certainly not worth it for most people. I value Accor points at 3c each (according to @aikman above they're currently worth 3.5c/point). If you're using $70.48 of Accor points to get 2600 Velocity points, that values the Velocity points at 2.71c each. Unless you're using the points for...

I know I'm weird, and this isn't for everyone, but I loved my time at the Mundolingua: the Museum of Language. It has everything from a genuine Enigma Machine to endless interactive displays about every aspect of language and linguistics. Like I said, I'm weird. But if you're a museum junkie...

The easiest way to work it out is simply that if it earns points, it earns SCs. If it doesn't earn points, it won't earn SCs either.

It's easy enough to work out. Take this Choice fare between Melbourne and Perth. It's $393.99 including GST. If you divide that by 12 and round up (as Virgin does) that comes to 33 SCs, which is exactly how much VA will give. So unless I'm missing something the SCs given are based on the...

Did you really just criticise someone for using American English, immediately before using the word “vacation”?? ;)

Complicated? Normally $12=1 Status Credit. Double SC’s: $12= 2 Status Credits (ie. $6= 1 Status Credit). Triple SC’s: $12= 3 Status Credits (ie. $4= 1 Status Credit). “Outright stupid”? “Nonsense”? “Ugly”? Really? If you can understand mathematics at about Year 4 level, it’s none of the above.
