this is a great thread and good to know about the Aus/NZ trains as we probably wont be able to get to the others for a while. We travelled on the Feve - thanks to Seat 61 - a couple of years ago. It was a very fun way to travel, back in time complete with man in hat with flags and whistles at...

Thank you all for suggestions, I have found it to be a waste of time speaking to people in the Philippines or wherever and I might leave it until April as WA suggests. Pity about the Feb bookings but too bad. Thanks all

Guess so: what's the best time for the U.S?

I was upgraded after meeting a status challenge and I had a conversation with the Honours rep on the phone and he nominated the two years upgrade based on our location (WA) and there not being many Hiltons in the vicinity. At the time, there was only the Parmelia in Perth and we don't live in...

Hi, Help with this one if possible. I was upgraded to Diamond in March 2018 with the status earned until March 2020 and was sent an email confirming this. In December I was downgraded to Gold: which is not unreasonable as we have not had a lot of stays in 2018. However, we are doing more and...

Property: Parmelia Hilton Perth Booked: King guest Received: Deluxe King Status: Diamond We really like this hotel; has a good atmosphere and we are well treated. Staff very friendly and obliging and restaurant dining/wine well done. Interested to see a few posts back about the Executive...

Hello, I have been 'lurking' on this site for a while and was recently invited to participate. So here it is: hope the experts don't find the question too repetitive. Probably the answer is already out there. Hilton are currently having a sale in Europe for 2016 and I am looking to book a...

Re: More Central and Eastern European bling (incl Transylvania); *A flights, Accor ho Great trip report Rooflyer; finding the St Petersburg description particularly interesting. Di

Hi Rooflyer, Not sure if this is the best way for a question but you have a refreshingly down to earth, not too technical (sorry) way of reporting your travels and experiences. By the way, I did read your Saint Petersburg report from last year and it sounds great. Question: using your Aussie...

Re: More Central and Eastern European bling (incl Transylvania); *A flights, Acco... Thank you Roo Flyer for such an informative post: we will be following some of your itinerary later in the year (and travelled some of the Romania last year) and I am very interested in your comments. I...

Wow; thanks people for those helpful comments. I will absorb and get back if any further queries.

Thanks Markis. It has never occurred to me to use AA points - although we've been to the US - for a Qantas flight to Asia. I have accumulated points in United which I think is about to be absorbed by one of the other airlines. I will check on Starwood: we move around a fair bit but I haven't...

Hello, I am a novice in the loyalty programme world and this website and I am having problems getting my head around the different loyalty programmes; the most effective accumulation of points and the transfer of points between different programmes. E.g the IHG program states points can be...
