Reduce your stress. Enjoy Changi. Don’t rely on everything going perfectly. Book the flights with the longer transit time.

I stayed there last year and used the on-demand shuttle both to and from the airport. My wife was flying at 6:30am on a Qantas domestic flight. We had no problem booking the shuttle for 5am. Then after seeing her off I called and the shuttle came and picked me up to take me back to the hotel —...

Right now there are F Saver seats available on the MEL-SIN route for February 10, 11 and 12.

Yep, if you use the app and activate the bonus point offers it more-or-less goes without saying that you’ll be in the top 10%. According to my 2025 Wrap Up, well over 90% of the points I earned were bonus points.

According to my 2025 Wrap Up I too am in the top 0.1%, and I transferred every one of my points to Velocity … yet I’m only in the “top 20%” of Velocity transfers! Am I missing a secret way of earning more Velocity points from FlyBuys, or is it simply that “top 20%” is the highest tier there is?

From memory, this happens for a few weeks pre- and post- Christmas every year.

I received two Amazon Prime credits overnight: one for $2.99 (which is what I pay monthly for ad-free Prime Video, but I’ve never received a credit for it before), and one for $2.01. Not complaining about the unexpected $5 — it must be the $5 up to the $84 as you suggest.

I live in Melbourne too and over the past few years I've had success with KrisFlyer redemptions to or from CDG, IST (twice), MAN and AMS (all in Business class). Brussels is a good option as well, and remember that Singapore Airlines flies into Gatwick (LGW) as well as Heathrow.

I agree. For the past few years, Velocity has been superior to Qantas when it comes to long-haul redemptions to/from Australia in premium cabins. Increasingly, that's not the case any more. I'd still pick Velocity as the marginally better FF programme if you're looking for flights to Europe in...

Call and politely ask for the fee to be waived, as you can't book it online.

So really your question is: Is it worth spending $360 for one month of Platinum? No.

If I'm reading you correctly, the question is regarding whether Platinum is worth $360. For me, Platinum is definitely worth $360 because I save far more than that booking cheaper (later in the day) fares and then using "Fly Ahead" to fly on an earlier, often more expensive, flight. And I love...

There's no magic bullet or secret formula which will tell you which dates/routes have the best availability. You just need to do your own searches and when you find a route you like with availability, grab it. Obviously the school holidays will generally give the least availability ... on the...

I SO hope you get to see it! It’s quite something. I’m realising as I write this that I was at KSC exactly one year ago today — thanks for bringing back wonderful memories!

Every now and then there's a glitch and you need to give them a call. Over the years this has happned to me maybe twice. Call or chat online; in my experience they've always given the bonus points manually. It's always good to keep receipts until you get the bonus points. In my case I usually...

So glad you're able to experience KSC. I loved my two days there -- seeing the rocket launch was the icing on the cake but even without that it's a fantastic experience!

Generally these airlines will offer a "Western" and a "Japanese" option. The "Western" options generally are less seafood-heavy so if you're not into seafood that's what you should go for. Even the "Western" food options are excellent!

Protip: if you don’t like seafood, make sure that you never fly on one of the Japanese airlines!

It’ll be very interesting to see what happens if lots of non-pet-owners take out pet insurance to get the bonus points. Will the insurers mind, given that the number of claims-per-policy will reduce (theoretically resulting in lower premiums)? Will they see it as a loophole to be shut down? One...

When I’m trying to collect points in a hurry, I’ll pay all my ancillary medical bills in full and then claim from private insurance, rather than asking the provider to claim directly and reduce my up-front payment.
