    RTW award flights itinerary questions

    Yes, although I am doing my own thing between San Francisco and New York. I couldn't get what I needed from United. No business availability at all. I may call back and see if I can do it over the phone closer to my departure, though. I think they want to see the entire itinerary prior to...

    rtw staralliance with krisflyer miles

    A few years ago I was able to change the return leg of a SQ award booking, but I was told I was only able to do that because they had initially made a change to the timing of the flight (if I recall it was by about 5 minutes) and thus I could "rebook" to a more convenient time. Worked out for me...

    Whats your best experience on a delayed flight?

    I have spent many an hour in that very overwater bar. A wonderful place indeed - well done!! Flying into Gizo is an experience, too. My first time the pilot performed a go around because a dog was sleeping on the runway.

    Whats your best experience on a delayed flight?

    My story is one of simple pleasures. A few years back I was booked in J on Hawaiian Airlines from LA to Honolulu. A while after takeoff, while out over the Pacific, we banked to the right and the captain announced that due to a medical emergency we were diverting to San Francisco. We landed in...

    FYI timochy, I rang last Sunday at about midday or just after. Got on to the wonderful Mai Loh (I'm guessing the spelling) in the Singapore call-centre and she was really helpful. I do hope you have been able to sort this out and get the flights you need. Regards, Peter

    RTW award flights itinerary questions

    I got row 3 on the first leg and row 2 on the second. I'll ring them when I get a few minutes to see if I can move to the "good" rows - and by good I assume you mean the window seats that are actually close to a window, with the pod on the aisle side? Out of interest what do you use for seat map...

    RTW award flights itinerary questions

    Happy to help, but it's pretty easy. Use the Singapore airlines website first of all, primarily for flights on their planes. Use the United airlines site for everything else. I also use expert flyer to check overall availability. Remember the rules (check the star Alliance sure) and come...

    RTW award flights itinerary questions

    Well actually........................... I think the Brussels Airlines flights above are in Y (although they have been ticketed as I). Checked seat maps today and can only see economy seating. Hopefully it means I get a bigger waffle on board or something. Not complaining as it was the only...

    RTW award flights itinerary questions

    Yep - not a saver reward in sight. Any suggestions for trans continental US? I'm starting to think I might just pay for that leg and call it a ground leg on my RTW ticket.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Well comparing the T3 lounges with several others I've visited around the world in the past couple of years, I am impressed. I didn't really see them as tired or needing a makeover.

    RTW award flights itinerary questions

    Sorry to re-ignite this topic, but does anyone know if the internal US flights on United (When booking a Busines class RTW redemption) need to be booked in Economy saver or is First Saver ok? I can't see any Business class flights from SFO to NYC or BOS (my two options). Assume this i because...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    I just left Thailand today and to me it wasn't expensive at all, particularly compared with Singapore or Europe. BKK was a breath of fresh air (figuratively, only).

    Marriott Sukhumvit Bangkok

    For me it isn't close enough to the airport for a layover, unless it's a couple of days. Expect 25 minutes in a taxi at BEST. I arrived about 7:30pm and had pre-arranged transport - took 45 minutes to get to the hotel. For a layover I'd choose a hotel close to BKK and get the train into the...

    Strange Food Decisions

    I've noticed that I tend to make some odd food decisions when I travel. Spur of the moment choices in restaurants, like ordering pork knuckle in Germany, when I know full well that pork doesn't agree with me. Today in Bangkok SilverKris lounge I noticed with the delight of a 5-year-old...
