    Seats.aero - a useful tool for finding Qantas & Velocity reward availability

    Ah, sorry, should have been more specific (I was in my e-mail to Aeroplan). 🥴 It's PER - MRU - CDG & PER - MRU - LGW not displaying.

    Seats.aero - a useful tool for finding Qantas & Velocity reward availability

    I purchased a membership today as part of their Black Friday sale. I decided to do a few dummy runs to see how comprehensive it is out of the gate. FYI there appears to be some issue with Aeroplan awards availability displaying correctly - seats.aero is not picking up Air Mauritius awards...

    YouTubers. Youtubers everywhere [Travel Bloggers]

    Any love out there for Vicarious Voyager? Definitely a study in quality over quantity, he's been active for about 5 years but only has 46 videos on his YouTube. Unlike a lot of the youtubers mentioned here this is a side gig for him and I think this makes his content very genuine. It's...

    Qatar Devaluation: Increase in Carrier Fees [Reversed, sort of]

    My emotions: disappointed but also unperturbed. Disappointed. My issue is not so much with the rise itself, but with the sneaky way it was conducted with no announcement or no warning. It is, to be frank, unprofessional to alter the price of a service and not communicate it to the customer...

    AMEX rejection

    No. I continue to hold my HSBC SA Gold card that was the last one I opened, in October of last year.

    AMEX rejection

    Hi all. Reapplied for this card today (8 months later). Instant approval. 🥳 Nothing else changed about circumstances. Like I said previously, AMEX frat boys throwing darts at applications. 😵‍💫 Either that, or AMEX or gaslightling me. 😬

    Do AMEX referral links expire?

    So does that mean I can accept this offer on face value, or are you saying that AMEX can turn around and say that, regardless of what was offered and even though there was no expiry date on it, that was an old link and the bonus won't be honoured?

    Booking Sri Lankan Airlines?

    I've flown on UL in the past 6 months and thought they had a great soft product and OK hard product in J (IFE selection was very poor especially - bring a book or pre-load shows on your own device). The main downside was that both of my flights were delayed. One delay was just 20 minutes but...

    Do AMEX referral links expire?

    Hi all, One of the forum members was kind enough to supply me with a referral link to the Platinum card offering 275,000 MR points for signing up. Unfortunately AMEX rejected me back in January for undisclosed reasons :mad: (it has been suggested on this forum it was likely that they had...

    Revolut referral?

    Hi all, So I signed up for Revolut and I now am in the position to provide my own referral code to see if I can benefit both myself and some other members. It's open to the first 5 referrals only - any more and neither you or I get any additional benefit. I will receive $110 for each referral...

    Article: My 3 Favourite Airline Points in 2024

    Wow! I figured I was being pretty savvy by concentrating on exactly the three programs that Matt also endorses but from the other comments it seems like a lot of the cool kids are doing the same thing! 😖:D I've obtained points on five different programs in the past 18 months. In order of...

    Aeroplan 50K benefits

    Unless you're travelling with them I don't believe they're able to use the lounge passes: https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/aeroplan/credit-cards/lounge-pass.html#/

    Aeroplan 50K benefits

    Not online. If you try to it tells you that the journey has already commenced and to contact an AC number to arrange it. Anyone who I've tried to give a pass to where this is happened has been a good friend, but perhaps not good enough for me to endure AC Customer Service (repeated traumas at...

    Revolut referral?

    Sorry for the delay in replying. How much do I get if I use your referral link - you didn't state a figure!

    Breakfast Guest?

    Ah, sorry if I've been a bit unclear - I'm already staying in the hotel and the room is booked for one. Still OK to bring a guest or should I make up a story that my 'partner' is joining me for my last night's stay in the property? Will remember to book for two in future though! 😁

    Breakfast Guest?

    Hi all, I've booked a double room for myself at an IHG Intercontinental and I have breakfast included in the rate. Do you know if it's possible to have a friend who's not a guest at the hotel join for the buffet breakfast? I ask because the actual rate of the room with breakfast is...

    Revolut referral?

    Just closed my UK revolut account and I'm looking to open an Australian one (frustratingly there's no option to switch your default country). Does anyone have a referral link so we can both pocket a few dollars rather than me just doing the standard sign up? TIA.

    BA Avios subscriptions

    Thanks! I have my BA and QR accounts linked so it shows me a joint balance. I can't say for absolutely certain but I think it just took the miles automatically from my BA account without me even needing to do a manual transfer. For Jun 23 my travel back to Australia included a short holiday...
