Well you can do the same-day change on the BA app/website yourself rather than having to get to T5 first. For the 0900 flight they'd need to get to T5 by 0745 or so in order to process the change and then have enough time left to check in. That might be possible if bags arrive quickly and you...

BA policy is to never through-check luggage on separate tickets to other airlines. Correct there is no immigration coming from DUB, there is a theoretical customs check. DUB flights arrive at the southernmost gates of T5A in order to bypass immigration but not bypass customs (small risk of bus...

Two domestic flights with JQ. On the first flight parents were seated together and child (5) seated 4 rows away. Had a checked bag. When we went to drop it the agent proactively moved everyone into a single row together, even though we said it was fine to swap with one parent on their own...

The Post Office's rates are awful. However, for a few hundred £ it won't make much difference (especially if you don't have / want coins to make up an amount to the nearest note). Since covid, London has not been good for bureaux de change. You used to be able to buy and sell euros for less...

See https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnect/au/en/policies/book/baggage/interline-and-through-checked-baggage.html QF will do it when you have a separate ticket on EK, but in general most airlines will not do it, sometimes not even to a separate ticket on themselves.

I don't see why it wouldn't work anywhere that takes mastercard but there are very few reasons to use it in the first place

VS is a failed airline that is being propped up by DL, they are in no position to even think about this (although that won't stop Shai). BA maybe but they seem to be giving up on Asia and letting QR (an IAG shareholder) take over..

Debit card loads work instantly and with no fee at the moment I only use this card for an insurance payment which earns nothing on any of my other cards but gets a few points here

When was this because as I posted before, the searching on the airbridge stopped in 2018 (in my and my family's experience). I have flown to and from HK very frequently for the past 25 years except between 2020 and 2022 The UK, EU and HKG still only permit liquids in containers less than...

You have to do this in most of the world

Which of the Sydney CBD properties would be best to use a CSU? I have one voucher that I haven't been able to use and it expires in a month. I am IHG Diamond. I live in Sydney and have no time to fly anywhere, I also recently stayed at Voco Hunter and CP Canberra (which gave me a suite anyway)...

The gate confiscation of liquids at HKG on Aus-bound flights stopped in 2018

The stay will post after a week or so. This delay occurs at IHGs in many countries including Australia Happened to me several times

I recently stayed at CP Hawkesbury Valley as a Diamond Booked cheapest room at an average nightly rate of $210 + 1.9% card fee Received King One Bed Suite and diamond free breakfast. Also 15% off food at the bar/restaurant, but all IHG members get 10% off. I paid using a non-Australian credit...

I suspect it might have to do with some error in currency conversion of taxes / fees, perhaps if the booking was not immediately ticketed and the exchange rate changed. This shouldn't really happen when you book directly with QF/JQ though. Did you ever make any changes to the booking?

You mentioned the trip will start and end with flights via the USA. When you go through the US using an ESTA and subsequently go to Caribbean islands (as well as Canada and Mexico), for immigration purposes the US considers time spent there to be time spent in the US. This becomes a problem if...

I have yet to come across a business surcharging more than 2% for Visa and Mastercard anywhere in Australia. And the only place I know apart from Hiltons that surcharges exactly 2% (legally or not) is a Chinese restaurant, which only does it to encourage patrons to pay in cash. But on the...

Interesting. While your interpretation and the above email from Hilton makes sense to me, the consensus on flyertalk is the opposite. That is, as per your previous post, the Gold renewing gold would have 5 roll over, but the Diamond dropping to gold would have none. Has your account updated and...

Not a problem at all. Entering Schengen is a different matter

I am in a similar situation (will be moving back to Aus permanently later this year, but a few extended visits first, to look for property etc) I've gone for the HSBC debit card which gives 2% cashback on contactless transactions under $100. They will open the account from overseas and deliver...
