I had an interesting experience tonight at my local (regional) WW. I went and cleared the shelves of the $100 V1s, and headed to the self-serve. Guy helping me out told me that he wasn't sure if he should check with manager, so he did. Manager came over and asked me if I had heard of any...

Amazing that you're ahead of me and you started later than me, TonyHancock! That's incredible!

Because most of it has come from insanely cheap RTW tickets and it's a lot of fun but it's a lot of travel. It would be nice to slow down rather than spend the next 15 years travelling at the same rate. Lifetime BA Gold is great, and the 4 status cards from BA GGL are wonderful, but it's not...

Seems I'll be heading out tonight to see if I can buy my last tranch of Visa cards if the local WW branches will play ball - one more time.

Makes flippping hotels in Perth a lot easier for mattress runs on stays when they do! I'll be looking forward to this one. I do like the Parmelia, but Hilton alternatives are great.

You can book it by that date for a flight up to 12 months after that, if that helps.

Quite a number of us are BA GGL, which is a much better proposition and more of a oneworld frequent flyer program than QFF these days (QF forces you to travel with QF, whereas BA is still pretty much carrier agnostic. The upgrade certificates (Gold Upgrade for 1/2 - GUF1/2) are useful and the...

I never did post this back then but I hit QF LTG back in March this year. The irony was that I was never supposed to get it, as I had completely abandoned QFF in 2014 when QFF brought in the "fairer and simpler" changes that I saw as limiting my options to fly who I wanted. So I ended up over...

It's been a while. Now that I have big ATO bills, I found myself coming back to look for the best option, and will try to stay a bit more!

I love your excitement NatZ. Thank you for posting as it's easy to become used to the lounge benefits. Clean amenities and showers are a godsend when travelling, as well as wifi and a snack when you are waiting or when there are flight delays. I keep on trying to remind myself how amazing it...

I pretty much started to do this at the start of my specialist career - I found the option to work rurally, and started my career working 32 weeks and taking 20 weeks off (unpaid) a year, where I travel. Best decision I ever made. Not waiting until retirement to really travel.

Much as it doesn't seem like it, this is a real improvement on what BA was offering before. Is it a Business fare code and earn Business class TPs/SCs?

This is the best news I have had all day. I wonder if they got frightened by a lot of people calling about cancelling their cards because of loss of SPG and AA transfers.

Re: Couple of AAdvantage questions from a newbie to it From Systemwide upgrades

Partners of obsessive frequent flyers are on the best wicket. They get to fly Business or better in ways that most people can't even dream of, and all they have to do is endure some odd inexplicable comments from time to time ("My QFF anniversary is two months away and I still need 420SCs. I...

I think that's the thing - there's what people would do themselves, but we should perhaps all consider that other people on a forum might have different ways of doing things. I try very hard to write First/Business/Economy rather than F/J/Y because I think it improves readability of what I...

It was up early in the year on the AA front page: Reach elite status faster

Thanks for sharing the story. I think the general view of people here is that you're unlikely to find support from other people here because it's not clear what you would want them to do to prevent it happening again. Your emails to them are unclear. In busy airports, it is a reality that not...

Re: AA transfer bonus on SPG Starpoints - 5000 AA+5000 SPG transfer bonus for 20000 p I ended up pulling the trigger on a lot of MR points to SPG and then AA and now need to start booking some speculative AAward bookings. Sorry people, I'm stealing your availability (if I can find it myself!).

Or friends. Part of my planning is organising laundry stops with friends. Because being able to do your laundry whilst you're hanging out with friends rather than sitting alone in a laundromat. In New York there are services like bag washes, which make it easy (and they're cheap!). But...
