I also have a lightweight, foldable back pack for essentials which I use for trips with transits and which folds very easily into a suitcase. It can also be used on the trip home for dress purchases,.

Agree with the request: have been thinking along similar lines although not sure whether I can fit all I want into HLO. I am going to do a trial run on a shorter trip with s other and see whether it will work or not. He can carry any excess if it doesnt work :)

Yes, its not something that registers personally and doesn't fit into a code for me.

Thank you, that's helpful. It's difficult sometimes to sort through all the blurb and work out what will work for us. I saw the Rocky mountaineer advertisements years ago but the touristy hype leaves us less than impressed. Can be difficult to avoid these days. Good to know VIA works well.

OT a little, apologies. Would you recommend VIA for e.g Vancouver through to Jasper or Prince Rupert through to the Rockies? And after the wildfires last year how long is it likely to take before recovery. Possibly this question needs to go on another thread, I am not sure where.

Looks great and no problem finding on the baggage carousel

Yes, I notice Krisflyer are good with award flights I think about 353 days out however, *A are different. Not sure if it is the partner airlines e.g. AC not releasing award seats or do in batches.

Been dithering around this for a while; can't quite get myself into sell and buyback.

That makes more sense as I wasn't familiar with Kris+,. Obviously trying to market in Aus. I wonder how widespread the usage is.

Email just landed in my inbox. "From 1 July 2025, the mix KrisFlyer miles and cash rate to offset the cost of flight tickets on Singapore Airlines and Scoot will be improved, where 100 miles will be equivalent to SGD 1. Similarly, the redemption rate for the three SIA Group entities, Kris+...

Thank you for info, it did look exorbitant. I'll have to get better acquainted with the program.

Just checked this on the SIA website and awards are available until the end of August but couldn't see any after that. Also checked on Virgin Aus. Not familiar with their programme but they had award flights at roughly 88,000 points plus fees for economy. Not sure if this is the Virgin...

Gosh, thanks Matt I'll check.

And you can access the translation if need be.

bother, that's a pity. Are they going to replace with another airline partner? i.e. the list is shorter and less attractive.

I've been following the latter parts of this thread as we may have a similar situation later in the year and was looking at the different possibilities. Didn't realise you were flying on award points from SIN to JFK. From that perspective a hotel booking with a good sleep is more than made up...
