The only Suites flight from SIN-SYD occurs at an inconvenient time (0045) arriving in the morning, meaning I end up wasting another day of my limited lifespan. Looks like, if they agree, I'll just be moved onto the evening flight to MEL in plain old F.

I have heard of nightmare stories that they don't honour that kind of thing. If you call up they say that there are no flights available on the alternative flights, they are available for "new bookings only". And hours wasted. If you have experienced precedent for a better outcome, let me know.

Dear people, Just received a nasty surprise that my F redemption for July 2026 has been partially downgraded for the section from SIN-MEL. So I believe I remain eligible to visit TPL in SIN on arrival.... but would I get any refund in either cash or points? What would you do? I know this is a...

Currently Vyvanse (for ADHD) has done wonders for me in terms of quality of life and work efficiency, but I am unable to get my blood pressure under control. Now on 8mg of Candesartan instead of 4 and my BP is still consistently 150/100 or worse.

Time to put on two N95 masks and then run away as fast as possible.

"Citi has announced the cessation of a range of promotions next month, including the end of cash back offers as well as the sign-up bonuses for every single Citi credit card." Do second traches of sign-up bonuses (eg at 12 months) stand for existing credit cards? What if I already hold a NAB...

Sorry I've been busy of late, what is happening to Citi Prestige? As I've already got a NAB card elsewhere, does it affect me getting the second tranche of bonus points 12 month in? (Is it even worth paying another year's annual fee for those points?) Did NAB take over this card from Citi...

@drron maybe you might like Ron Gastrobar.

drron, I used an umbrella as a walking stick! Worked like a dream.

Going to make my second visit to Netherlands in early June next year. Having explored Amsterdam in winter on my previous visit, I would like to visit some of the nearby towns. Leiden, Haarlem, den Haag, Rotterdam, Utrecht come to mind. But l only have time to visit two, three at most. Any...

In health news, I have just started Vyvanse for ADHD. I didn't get formally diagnosed until my 40s. Even on the first day it was life-changing. But I need to get my blood pressure under control. So there's a lot of jingling with antihypertensives to come. Has anyone here have any personal...

My take at the moment is that the Qantas frequent flyer scheme, by world standards, is uncompetitive and Qantas J is also uncompetitive by world standards. If they can get away with it, good for them. Crown in Melbourne had no problem offering blackjack where 22 is a draw - if it were offered in...

I have dysania every day.

My personal opinion will be that it will no longer be possible, except in extremely rare circumstances, to book a First class Emirates flight with Qantas points ever again. And I wouldn't be surprised if Business class follows suit in a few months. I am happy I managed to book, with old rates...

Air China are the nut low in my experience. But I have not tried their business class. $5 wine?

I am on the waitlist and I am wondering whether there are any waitlist updates. I am in Sydney for that weekend anyway (and will be attending dinner in Newtown). If a spot opens up please let me know through private message.

@lovestotravel - Saver.

Well that's why I expect this to be my last ever Krisflyer redemption. It was nice while it lasted.

MelbFlyer: the former.

Mission achieved, I have booked first class HND-DXB (22 hour layover)-AMS on May 31 next year. I now only have a couple of thousand QFF points left. I booked Singapore airlines first class on the way back in July FRA-SIN-MEL. Sources say a devaluation is inevitable at SQ this year.
