I did this is Feb this year and had two wonderful days in Sinsheim and Speyer going to the Autoteknik museums there - which are basically one rich dude's idea of fun stuff to collect. Went into a concorde, the Russian equivalent (T144?) and an old Lufthansa B747 on which you get to walk out on...

Interesting - I had to get the card anyway as part of our mortgage package, so that's a welcome bonus. It'll be good to get back on the gravy train. Thanks for the heads up.

Have just been approved for Bank Australia Visa. I'll test as soon as I get the card in my hand. Here's hoping. P PS: Yes it was a drama to go through the application process.

Many of us have benefited from your "warping" cove, and do the same happy dance around the ceremonial totem pole of points harvesting.

I can confirm this is the case - This month an early entry to the lounge (we had 8 hours at Changi to kill) in the Business lounge meant I had three kids and a wife sleeping on those couches - and blankets and pillows materialised within minutes of our arrival - very accommodating. We limited...

Well then the offer is open to someone if they would like.

In SYD SQ F lounge tomorrow morning from about 6:30 until 212 boards, unless I can get my waitlist confirmed on 232 in which case I'll be working in the F lounge for 3 hours longer. I have no clue if I can guest anyone in SYD.

Yes Winston1, I did this this very thing this year in Feb. It required calling the SQ call centre in Sing, but they were very helpful as usual. Regards, P PS. SOrry for the tardy reply - been offline last few weeks.

I've been the only passenger in suites a couple of times. I felt a bit weird the first time but in Suites you barely notice the other pax anyway. You are right, though - Flawless and hyper-attentive service.

Do the airlines have a "banned" list? If so then these two should be on it. Surely there is a section in there for people with no behavioural filter. Having said that - there is a certain satisfaction in seeing how....um.....messed up some folks lives are. Makes me appreciate my quiet little...

You'll get Changi dollars if you are transiting through Singapore with less than 24 hours between flights. You get them one way only. $20 for general merchandise and $20 for cosmetics, liquor and tobacco. Because I am really the most bonza husband in the world I spend mine on cosmetics for my...

From the SQ website: For redemption of upgrades from Economy to Premium Economy Class or Business Class, only tickets purchased in Y, B or E booking classes on flights operated by Singapore Airlines or SilkAir are eligible. Which is a bit odd, because W class is still classified as Full Fare...

I've tried to convince my wife to let me upgrade her to Suites. I've honestly married the wrong woman - she said no! I offered to take one for the team and upgrade myself, but she simply gave me "the look". Oh well, slumming it in J it is.

Always great to read your continued appreciation even after so many flights in suites, Cove. My enthusiasm hasn't dampened either - I'm in the TPR right now contemplating what to have for dinner, and then second dinner - considering I'm on the 00:45 to SYD. There are worse ways to pass the time!

Not wanting to one-up anyone, but this may be food for thought. I have 4 saver redemptions and 1 standard on SQ J in September for a family holiday. Is there an official AFF record? Cruiser, surely you'd know the theoretical maximum? (And I apologise if I offend you by suggesting you'd know...

I'm in the SYD SQ F lunge on Monday 23rd from about midday until 14:30 if anyone wants a guest entry. Then in Terminal 3 TPR/SIN F (I wander) on Wed 25th from about 7pm until midnight, so can guest into F lounge. Regards, Peter

Love the availability!!!! Just got lumbered with an IBM thing Monday week in Singapore. Wasn't expecting much, but actually got exactly the suites availability I wanted: SYD-SIN SQ222 on May 23 SIN-SYD SQ231 on May 26 I'd always heard last minute Suites Savers redemption availability was a...

There's been a bit of chat about QUDOS on here, but I'm loathe to go through their onerous application procedure (which in all likelihood I wouldn't pass because of my "complicated" financial structure). I'm therefore wondering if anyone has done anything with Bank Australia, previously mecu. I...

Yes I shouldn't be so pessimistic I guess. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to bankwest I go. Rgds, Peter

With so many options closing out, it will, I fear, soon see the end of this thread...............oh the humanity.......
