That’s actually a really decent warning tbh. Sorry, but that is part of the points game. I don’t think it’s on the airline to be able to tell you during booking what the earn will be with any one of 20+ partner airlines.

There’s no fight needed. Jump onto online chat now, ask about the credit, see what they say, save screenshots of it and then after the timeline send an afca complaint. Takes about 5 min or fewer and your money will appear.

Thanks for that post. Prompted me to check- Perth has changed a bit, too. This is disappointing as I had a booking for tonight expressly to use the credit and now it’s too late to change. For people in Perth- Balthazar and Shadow now gone too. 6Head is new and Rockpool is back.

Travel agents are less accountable than your staff, usually. the agents might follow your policy to the letter but that will almost always lead to either random higher costs that you didn’t expect, or unhappy staff when they get a less desirable itinerary, And the corporate agents are the...

Ah yes, I see. Absolutely I would never use reciprocal. So many potential issues in that.

Generally that is covered under your insurance regardless.

Not sure on the bag thing. Many flights are by weight limit, not bag limit, and many people would pack 2x10ish in than 1 even 23kg

I saw for the first time an online booking portal offering throwaway ticketing. It was a one way Japan to Colombo and had an extra leg to somewhere in India. It’s unlikely but if someone wasn’t quite thinking right, esp on a shorter layover like 2 hours, that you could exit immigration and...

Nib will cover them at that age. Not sure if it will give them all they want in terms of insurance. I suggest it’s easiest (not cheapest) to just insure the whole trip and be done with it.

And not for all FHR hiltons, either. If it’s important email the hotel to ask so you have it in writing. But for normal Amex travel, by the letter of the program you will not.

$600 absolute minimum. Closer to at least $1200

If any company with through check it will be SQ. I’d hold high hopes but get in early in case it takes a while, and check your bag receipt well and don’t lose it.

How to endear yourself to a community 101. Ask for advice for nothing, get angry at people. Lucky we have the ignore function!

It can be automatic. We called to check and they said we already were premier. YMMV. Never heard anything from them though

Adding sectors can make sense for comfort, esp when the price doesn’t change much and if you get paid leave or are retired or similar situations where time is less valuable than money/comfort/whatever.

It’s common to happen this way when booked via GDS. you still contact Amex for hassles

Still processing the refugees from latitude. I’d give it another 6 months or so

Hmm. Should I be taking my towball off? Didn’t know it was a thing? It’s never been used!

Exactly. This view is dying out toward comfort wear, and I am all in favour of that!

Sure, but at the end of the day you have to check in
