We also used those secret deals quite regularly with last minute and got some absolute bargains such as the Park Plaza Tower Bridge in London for $80 a night and the Mayden in Dubai for less than $100 per night. It's a shame they aren't offered anymore.

Really nice itinerary with some excellent ports of call. Do you join the cruisecritic roll calls?

What about Ceuta or Melilla, are these going to be handed over to Morocco? What about the Canary Islands? The EU and UK relations are spiralling down hill. It does make you wonder whether brexit could devastate the EU and the EU economy (which is a major ponzi scheme at present).

Would anyone have any good discount codes for Sydney Airport Parking? I'm looking to reduce my rates for 18 days parking in May at the P7 and really don't feel messing around at the Blu Emu Parking as I arrive into Terminal 1 at 2100 (I have done it before and ends up taking about 30-45 mins to...

I’ve booked tickets previously with no intention of using the final leg. One of those occasions was due to the connecting flight I wanted being under the MCT so I booked a seperate ticket with just the ‘illegal’ connection and checked in online, no hand carry. Another occasion I was flying to...

Well precisely, the points upgrades probably make a significant impact in ensuring that business/first class is always full (or mostly full), precluding the need for opups.

Agreed.

There is a significant border force presence in the Port of Newcastle to clear the 10+ ships that arrive per day, so I guess there is a local office.

I've only once received an opup on Qantas and that was on an overbooked MNL-SYD flight with a fully flex Y ticket on my own with Qantas Gold status. I don't think my attire, the way I talked to the check in staff or that I checked in online affected the decision in any way. Overbooked flight...

I also have the Qantas Platinum Visa + Amex and was about to call Westpac to find out whats going on with the points being credited. I have had the cards for 3 months now and amex has deposited the points each time on time including the bonus, but I haven't had anything from Westpac. So I...

Interestingly worded, but essentially they haven't enough pilots. They don't have any problems recruiting fresh new pilots with 200 hours, however retention of experienced pilots seems to be a major problem. Perhaps they need to address the working conditions.

I hold a B1/B2 (renewed at the US Embassy in Oman) and have travelled to Libya, Syria, Iran and Yemen but haven't had any issues, so its really look of the drawer. ESTA is out of the question for me unfortunately because that would probably be rejected. I also hold two British passports and this...

Renting cars in the US is so cheap and easy, why don't you consider renting instead of Uber? I may provide you that bit more flexibility. Boeing factory tour is worthwhile as is the Pike Place Markets and the Space Needle.

T-35 for most flights, generally once boarding starts I'll take a steady walk down. Don't like being rushed and don't want to be running for a flight.

Another time I was flying to Barbados and was scheduled to fly QF into LHR and to BGI from LGW, a really coughpy transfer between airports. However this was just after the QF A380 had been launched and some teething issues meant a delay in SIN thus misconnecting, but all credit to QF as I landed...

Seeing the post by @Pleb Status about the change of flight resulting in him negotiating a transfer onto the direct flight which he wasn't otherwise able to get, I thought it would be good to see anyone else has managed some positive outcomes from irrops or schedule changes? With a previous...

Another thumbs up for the Novotel Citigate, perfect for transits.

I got caught with one of the non QFF earning fare class on Qatar airways, needless to say I'll be a little more cautious in future.

I used to live in the Middle East and Dubai seems like a vegemite/marmite sort of place, some people love whilst others hate it. There is plenty to see and do to keep you occupied and at least worth seeing once and experiencing a new culture. As for the heat in summer, it's no real biggie. You...

Yes, absolutely not a problem. You will get a beep at the gate though as they will do the 'visa check' which is normally done at the check in desk.
