    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    $110 for 2000 points. A few big spends on booze in the recent 4x$60/10K offer means the algorithm now has the wrong idea. I’ll need to do a couple of $20-$30 shops to reset it.

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Funnily enough, I've just done this. Would rather have 2 x 1 free night in a two night booking than a free night. But I digress... No Sofitel availability on 27 Sept. Sofitel Wentworth is available on 4 Oct.

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    I'm not sure that's right as Accor status is determined by calendar year. My understanding of the status is that post 1 October 2025, status in 2026 will solely be determined by what is achieved in 2025. At least this is what Schedule 1 to the new T&Cs suggests (there's nothing suggesting...

    WP moving to US, maintain status or move to AA?

    If you fly a lot of domestic routes, WP on QF will get you lounge access in Admirals Clubs and Alaska Airlines lounges.

    Skyteam Kenya Airways Status Match

    If you're Qantas SG, the Kenya Airlines program allows you to get SkyTeam Elite Plus, unlike the VN offer which requires WP. Something to bear in mind.

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    Hmmm... 2000 bonus points and two free months. Was planning to renew in November or December after it lapsed this month, but I might leap now...

    The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

    Yeah. They've changed my DXB-SEA flight on 1 October to have Dom rose, Angelus 2006 and Opus One 2016. Good wines all but no Mouton Rothschild (was looking forward to trying one - hopefully I'll be able to scrounge one in the lounge). Meanwhile, the wines on my SYD-DXB flight on 30 September...

    Buying Qantas top-up points with a bonus: Worth it?

    That's odd - DXB-ADL is showing for me fairly reliably until 21 May in J.

    Singapore on Velocity points

    It's up to each carrier to determine how much baggage allowance each class gets.

    Qantas Classic Reward & Upgrade Devaluation on 5 August 2025

    If the flights are on the same ticket/PNR coming back, Qantas will protect your connection and rebook you onto a later flight if you misconnect. If they're on separate tickets, allow 3-4 hours to accommodate delays (although Qantas may still rebook you).

    Qantas Classic Reward & Upgrade Devaluation on 5 August 2025

    Yes, MH through-checks bags on separate tickets. If you're going international to domestic, you'll clear customs and collect bags in MEL. Fortunately, this is a much easier process than SYD.

    If you're flying MH, your best bet from KUL to BKK would also be MH as I think they through check bags on separate tickets.

    Qantas Classic Reward & Upgrade Devaluation on 5 August 2025

    Have you tried a paid sub to seats.aero to see what's there? And Daydream Explorer on pointsyeah.com may also work. Pointsyeah tipped me off to the fact there are plenty of 2xJ seats on MH MEL-KUL in May, so give that a go. Good luck, and smoke 'em if you got 'em...

    Qantas partnership with BP

    It's the 'everyday low price' apparently... ;)

    Qantas partnership with BP

    Just got a (possibly targeted) 500 point offer in my BPMe app (no need to activate now, it seems). No minimum spend so wandered down to my local and bought a $2 bag of chips.

    Qantas Classic Reward & Upgrade Devaluation on 5 August 2025

    That's only where travel's commenced. :) I also realised 14.5.12 is of relevance if you're within 24 hours of a flight segment. Changes within 24 hours of departure of a Flight Segment 14.5.12 The following changes are permitted to Qantas Flight Segments. A Change Fee will apply (see the...

    Qantas - Emirates Award flight Discussion

    ADL-DXB is available sporadically (23 and 25 March and 25 April)? And there's plenty of DXB-ADL in J until late May. And there are one or two other awards (e.g. DXB-SYD in J on 6 and 10 April). Given that there are some releases occurring, is this a sign of more worrying restrictions on...
