I’ve never seen a single trip insurance company that wouldn’t cover that length of trip

What’s the issue? Most policies have a section on points and how they deal with them. Should be simple enough to buy a year long single trip policy

I'd go to AFCA. You've made your complaint, don't waste your time on amex further

Frankly, I was so astounded that my monocle fell out. Now I need to find another master lens-maker from Switzerland. And to top it off I can no longer fly SQ to get there…

Easy: Buffet- Atrium or Epucurean. Atrium is less high end but still nice. Epicurean is higher end. Both I find the desserts are the stars, very good when buffet desserts aren’t that great usually. The rest of the food is good too, atrium has the larger Chinese selection. Probably need to book...

I can make 5th March. I’m in a series of meetings with various Marriott chain reps (Edition, RC, the Luxury collection etc) that day, so will give the goss if allowed. I just need to check with the Mrs but count me in. 1738321579 Oh the topic of where- crown is still good for dinner, though...

Oh god. Surely that’s like New Year’s Day or something? Tell me that’s not recent! I love the snow there, and it’s not the crowds that get me, it’s the expense and western side nature of the place I don’t love. Hard to even find a menu in Japanese nowadays, there.

Apologies all for being unclear. SEAsia, not Seattle. Maybe the EU at times but really with small kids I like to stay in the +8 time zone, or within 5 hours of it. My last foray into jetlag with the kids was a disaster.

They’ve already booked for 5:30, too. There’s about 3 others. Thanks all for that, I was just second guessing myself when they were so insistent that it would be fine.

Oh yes, I mean to write that. 2 international flights in 7 years, one of which was DPS.

Helping a friend book a trip, and the go PER-SIN-KUL on one Sq ticket, in J. They already have a short protected transit in SIN of only 50min and they have gone and booked air Asia for 1h20 after landing in KUL. They have a 5yo and checked luggage. I’ve convinced them to book a backup ticket...

This is way too hard to answer. It’s down to you, where you want to go in future, how many people you normally get awards for etc.

SQ staff at the landing gate will help you if you are tight or have already missed it. The entire airport revolves around transits and connections, and SQ stake a lot of their existence on it too. They will get it right or make it right for you 99% of the time, if you book single tickets. I...

Used my last points on the weekend to book 4x ANA J PER-NRT, replacing an SQ flight(s) with direct. Nicer for the kids and for me, and the new luggage allowance is much more generous. 2x32kg a head, vs 40 a head. I’m actually bringing 8 bags at around 120kg plus carry on, so both would have been...

what’s Aeroplane like for TG J availability and general award cost? Being from PER and heading to SEA and EU more than N America, lifemiles was the go previously. I have just managed to burn my final 200k!!!! (Thank god) and am now free of that debacle, until I get tempted back in by hubris...

Has similar with AA in that schedule change and the flights I wanted weren’t options. Picking up the phone was quick and easy and the agents sorted it with ease, for free. Quite impressive really. I have PTSD from QF calls where they make the problem worse for the first 3 calls (that you were...

F,J,W and Y are the best way to refer to the classes here, just FYI. W being premium economy. No idea if you have enough points but your initial statement of not upsetting others with kids in J- no one cares. If you can, do it. I wouldn’t significantly sacrifice my own comfort just to show my...

Agree to check inclusions, but normally from seat selection it’s all the same. Sometimes the wholesalers are cheaper due to volume discounts or trying to meet targets. I’ve saved 40% on international business fares before.

10 years ago seems too short for degradation. I’m still getting 5kw from my 10 year old system, same as when it was new

Just lodge an afca complaint and they’ll act rapidly
