    Emirates "Special Fares"

    I believe Abu Dhabi and Dubai are in the same country. Abu Dhabi is like the Canberra of United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dubai is like the Sydney of UAE. UAE is a federation comprising of 7 "emirates" (or better known as "states" here). Happy to stand corrected if i got any of the above wrong.

    you'll find that in the T&C, upgrade benefits apply only to Sofitel hotels. Unfortunately Sofitel isn't participating in this sale.

    BOGO Vouchers query

    I think i may be able to help. It depends on the individual hotel, whether the maximum amount of free nights is 1 or 2. You can find out by making a dummy booking under BOGO (from priorityprivilege website) and click on the link of the rate type. It's the page where they detail the rate and...

    High quality discounted diamonds + mileage run

    i would highly recommend buying online from a reputable US site. All you pay is GST. Due to AUSFTA you don't pay duties if it's originating or made in USA. WIth the current exchange rate i think you'll be able to find yourself a bargain. Definitely cheaper than buying from anywhere here.

    Qantas American Express Ultimate Card - now 50,000 bonus points

    Does holding a current supplementary card mean that the person is no longer a "new" applicant?

    Luggage question

    you can take as many pieces of luggage as you want as long as it does not exceed the COMBINED weight of your allowance. 15kg will be fine even in Y.

    Koru club access for QC/SG members in NZ

    I'm assuming you were all flying QF/JQ when you have been given access due to the fact you had QC/SG/WP right? Or were you flying Y in NZ and given access due to the fact you had QC/SG/WP? Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me either way to be honest, but would be a very good thing...

    AirAsia X to start SYD-KUL on 01/07/2010

    Not likely to have OMG o'clock departures/arrivals considering the curfew system in place in SYD. Plus they would want to be able to connect people coming in from other places. Looks like airasia X have evolved to become (dare i say it).....the first LCC in the kangaroo route!

    Airline pickpocket strikes as passengers sleep

    The problem is, of course, if the stolen items are cash. Best is to go with TG's suggestion to lock your carry-on at all times. I do that. Curiously, what about ladies' handbags?

    Baggage Limit's

    Thank you for your reply thewinchester. Before asking the Q i had already looked carefuly on the QF website. They did not specify whether the weight of the "additional piece" corresponded to the class of travel. I've always thought the "extra piece" had a limit of 23kg regardless of class of...

    Baggage Limit's

    ive always wanted to ask this, as a QC or PS, does the additional piece (for travel transpacific) have a 23kg or 32kg limit? Does the limit correspond to the relevant class being flown at the time?

    On the cusp of 1st time silver - do I go for it?

    I just realised something when trying to book AA flights intra-US. Apparently all airlines (with exception of Southwest) charge for checkin baggage now. Ranges from US$20-$30 per bag. I see that it's free for anybody with OW status - which means PS gets it for free. Same goes with *A...

    Antler Luggage

    I stand corrected! Indeed it is Canada that's doing it, was in the news and i confused it with TSA rules.

    Antler Luggage

    Do note that TSA has a new ruling re: 1 pice per person. A handbag is considered one piece. I'm not sure how practical this is, but as you know the events of the last week has caused many knee-jerk reactions to new TSA rules, which as i mentioned earlier is dynamic. Changes regularly. When's...

    Antler Luggage

    Big question is are you travelling into US airspace? With the new rules (albeit dynamic) you may find the restrictions to be very tight. I don't think even the airlines are able to keep up with the rules, so i wouldn't rely too much on their website-stated entitlements. But if you're not...
