Thank you Matt, most appreciated. Yes, I did look at the *A box and couldn't quite believe the complete lack of award availability including economy for about a month. Thought there must be something I was missing. I will do a rethink on using expiring miles - probably have to redeem on Virgin...

Is it possible to book Air New Zealand as *A with SIA awards? I've checked the SIA website and there are no flights listed Per to AKL and vv. Also called on a help line which was very not. Information and suggestions welcome.

great track

Very interesting TR and enjoying the photos and detailed explanation of historical sites, poetry, literature and political aspect.

We had a connecting flight last year - PER - SIN - BANG on a linked advantage award. The Singapore connection was scheduled as 1 hour which concerned me. However PER to SIN arrived 30 minutes early and it became a very relaxed connection. Probably depends on where your final destination is as to...

I suppose the upside is to find a good blue chip to buy.

Yes, it was an interesting visit. We stayed at one place, their version of BnB, where they had a picture of Queen Liz on the wall. Not sure if it was for our benefit (not English) but they also spoke the language. The memory of the beautiful coastline took me back to visit Slovenia, Croatia...

Where does Hurtigruten sit and also Viking?

Fortunately went to Russia while it was ok. Still have a hankering for the Stans and Iran and hoping that will be achievable in the future. Probably won't make South America and the hiking - too far and too energetic now, no longer have the fitness required.

Thank you for a great TR. We are not really interested in cruising. However, there are places that are best accessed by boat. In that respect it's been terrific to read a practical (dress codes 😬, I pack for likely weather conditions) and honest report of the up and down sides of getting to...

Yes, there are some good options in Granada, we really enjoyed our 3 nights. Lots of outdoor dining options - after 9.0pm of course 😀

Yes, probably because of popularity. We stayed in a beautifully furnished unit that was part of a small complex with inside tiled atrium and it's own patio. From recollection the tariff was roughly 100eu and the best value we had in Spain. I guess it was because of the location in small windy...

Could be depending on time of year . We stayed in the old, hilly, area with night views from the patio of the Alhambra. However, if you become an amigo the Paradores have some good offers over a number of stays or visits to different places. E.g we stayed in what was an old Palace in Zamora...

Have to disagree with this. Depending on your transport there is a lot to enjoy both in and around Granada. E.g mountains, white villages. Further afield Ronda.

Very sorry to hear, hope you can get some rest. Been enjoying the TR particularly photos of the fauna.

Enjoying the TR and the parts of Vienna and history I haven't yet encountered even after a few visits.

Been busy and lost track (not intended). Glad the App has been working well, good to know for the future.

Tomorrow might even be better, for LT. 🙂

According to the App if I log on I will lose my cards. However, without logging on my cards are all shown and working. It seems if I log on I have to transfer through to Klarna. Which I can't be bothered with at this time of the year. I'll wait and see what develops.
