I completely agree with you it varies wildly for all the brands both within IHG and Accor. I always look deeply into the individual hotel, can’t trust the brands alone. For example the Mercure Doncaster (MEL) is fantastic, new modern property > Voco Brisbane which is just a lipstick cosmetic...

Finally…. But it will be a faux IC for a while, as I echo what everyone else has been saying - this property is incredibly tired. Any insight as to when we can book?

We moved flights once and took the bassinet seats from someone (had Bubs with us). We subsequently then didn’t make the connection…! So those people bumped out would also have seen non baby carrying folk in their seats… This was a while ago so not guilty for your flights :)

Don’t suppose anyone has test driven a Polestar 4 yet?

Not to mention you can get better interest rates than ING too!

I also think it’s great and look forward to it being rolled out on more aircraft types… I thought I read QFLink was next up thread….

I’ve found if you are on a tight connection you may find an Emirates ground staff member waiting for you to whisk you straight to your next gate - well has happened to me twice transiting in Dubai.

I know! I’ve had some absolutely incredible reads over the last couple of years in the great Covid bounce back and all the corporates are flying around again. Some amazing information ‘shared’ 😉

Same, it’s everywhere. I now basically carry my NC headphones everywhere to block them out.

Some corporate TAs have weird and wonderful ways/processes of cancelling and rebooking. One must be alert!

Yes saw a couple of mine had changed. Good, much prefer them to a 737.

It’s not a delight it’s wonderful 🤪

That’s good news / interesting, the new A220 seats are good. Personally would like to see them in the 737s too.

Just reporting back: - Stunning hotel, great rooms, huge, comfortable bed - Good breakfast / lunch in hotel - Amazing gym & lap pool, one of the best hotel gyms ever seen - Very quiet - Not much in local area (I was there for work so this didn’t matter to me)

People’s QFF points still posting quickly? I had a bunch of stays that posted 2 days after to both my IHG and QFF account but now up to week 3 for a stay early Feb… odd…

When the trains are running, yes… sigh.

Same, I have a photo of it as a backup and hold firm if challenged. Never not won 😉

Quick side step - has anyone printed anything in the MEL F lounge recently? I can’t recall seeing a printer in the office I used last time…

Thank you checking FT for me!

Well Velocity is hardly a stellar program anymore, especially after the last round of devaluations
