    Hotel Management penny pinching with aircon motion sensors

    I had 2 stays at Hilton Garden Inn Singapore recently and they are a big offender of this. After 20 minutes without movement the aircon shuts off. Spending my stay on the top level was very unpleasant, returning to a very hot room and during sleep being woken up several times by how hot the room...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    I noticed there is a QF 201 SYD > SIN 02/12 and QF 331 SIN > SYD 04/12 a380 services. These appear to be once off, anyone know the purpose of them? This means there is 2 a380 services between Syd and sin on these days, which seems unusual.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Has there been any other offers like this going around? Im 5 nights off renewing diamond (on top of my planned stays). 5 night mattress run is a bit much, especially at current rates.

    New Qantas Business Amenity Kits?

    Just got off QF2 with this amenity kit. The bag quality isn’t as good as the 100th century ones but is the same as most other business amenity kit. The contents is pretty much exactly the same as the previous kits but no longer contains a pen. Which I found very annoying as I needed a pen for...

    Credit Card Offers Qantas Amex Ultimate Benefits & Offers

    Yeah the value of AMEX is really going down hill. Across all cards. Even the platinum charge is a shadow of what it once was. I get it, they don't make the money they use to due to interchange fees changes which use to pay for benefits but come on. I think they are taking the piss now. If they...

    2 x Amex Travel Credits, 2 x Pax, 1 Booking?

    Yeah I called and amex travel said they can’t help. Had to be on 2 seperate bookings. 1696293228 That is a good idea, unfortunately this was an international trip so one way bookings don’t work so well.

    Upgrade using points booked using amex credit

    Yes you can, as above. You need to wait for the flight to be ticketed. I did this the other day, then jumped on QF booking page and initially it said "fare not eligible for upgrade" I nearly died. Waited for the flight to be ticketed the next day and checked again, put in the upgrade request.

    Qantas is sorry (again)

    Oh great, more batch releases of frequent flyer seats (I HATE the batch release strategy). I wish they would just do a mandatory set of reward seats released on every flight (say 2 seats per class) and then they can release more unsold ones closer to departure if they would like. Id much rather...

    Inconsistent/Poor QF Business Class Treatment out of Bangkok

    That still isn’t an excuse for both Qantas or the crew. If they don’t like their pay and conditions they can leave. They aren’t “forced” to work for Qantas.
