    Exciting news. Dare i dream of being able to use points to these destinations? Or will that not be possible like it wasn't when Virgin had the contract.

    Planning trip to USA and/or Canada for WC 2026, any tips and advice?

    Does anyone know if Qantas release classic awards online for Westjet flights between Canada and Mexico? Or do we need to call up? I can't see anything online but am wondering if its because there's no availability/nothing released?

    Would you fly at a less convenient time to get a nicer plane?

    My best laid plans have been stymied, i was to fly MEL-SYD tomorrow in an A333 but at check in have discovered that the plane has been switched to a B738. I've gone from my lovely bank of two to now being in the back of what is going to be a very full bus.

    Gone in 5 days: My Award Travel Heist

    Same for me. When I first start working in London I had a colleague who could not comprehend that I went to Brussels on two consecutive weekends. She was so confused that she assumed I was a courier of illicit substances and could not comprehend that I happened to like Beer, Chocolate and a...

    I Have Five Days In Egypt - What Do I Do?

    I really enjoyed my short time in Alexandria. The Bibliotheca was gorgeous and had a nice dinner at the Fish market. I left wishing I could spend more time than the one night work afforded me.

    So are there any alternative locations for these cities? I'm interested in going to Osaka for Expo 2025 later in the year. Would i be better to stay in Kobe for example?

    Lapland for the Polar Night, + Austria and France

    Not to hijack your story, but it reminds me of my first ever trip to Helsinki in 2009. I did the same thing. It was a great night out, only made better by the Finnish man next to me telling me he was a diehard Geelong Cats fan (thanks ESPN for those late night tapings of matches in the 80's and...

    Corporate travel policies

    Just a data point on this example which defied common sense to me. I was scheduled to attend a wedding in London. I had my leave and flights booked. I then received notification that a contract ceremony was scheduled in Dammam and my presence was specifically requested by the client. This...
