    Hyatt Regency Brisbane

    Did not see this one coming - looks like the former Next Hotel in Queens Street Mall. Hopefully this is the way Hyatt will expand its ANZ footprint rather than announcing a build in 5 years and then never to be heard of again (Hobart...). Info is scant on the website but hope it will have a...

    PGR Escape & Stay Wild this Summer food and beverage terms and conditions.

    Used this at QT Canberra in early December - they took the $40 per night off the bill at the end regardless of the discounts applied with dining. As a Balck cardholder I don’t know how they made any money with that stay ... would be interested to see the response you get from PGR

    Accor Movenpick Hotel to open in Hobart

    Assume this is the Hyatt Centric which was announced .. and then all went quiet? Would have rathered a Hyatt ... typically avoid Accor hotels. But good to see some new hotels in Hobart!

    Who else still holds the Citibank Free For Life Premier Card?

    Virgin Australia to be sold to Bain Capital

    ‘“Re-imagined” business class meals’... looks like they are starting from a low base then! Suggest they get Coles delivery with some $5 sandwiches. Wonder if the catering suppliers don’t want to deal with VA 2.0 just yet?

    Lord Howe Island - October 2020

    Despite travelling all over of the world to some pretty amazing places - this remains in my top 5 places of all time - and it is part of NSW... seeing the trip report makes me want to go back again!

    Qantas to Merimbula

    Didn't take long for the dummy spit ! from Bega District News: "Given the small passenger numbers, and the competition posed by a secondary airline on a route where Rex has historically seen passenger numbers which do not support viable operations for two carriers, Rex wishes to provide formal...

    QLD border declaration

    Have found many hotels are offering some great deals when booking direct - much better than the general discount travel booking websites and almost all are flexible Pay on Arrival. Win win for both parties really in the current climate.

    Hyatt Canberra closes Ambassador (Club) Lounge permanently.

    For any Hyatt Globalists in Australia - sad to say Hyatt Canberra has decided to close its Ambassador (Club) Lounge permanently. They are currently offering a 10% discount on F&B instead.

    Complimentary Alcohol for 7pm Departing Flight

    With wine might as well come out of a box too... actually would probably be better than what they serve now anyway. Handed the half full cheap plastic cup back to them last time ..

    How long until you get to LTP? (Or are you already there ^_~)

    Got 40K SC in 12 years, but now just a regular WP so probably another 20 years at that rate.. hmm if it was 50K or maybe even 55K probably worth aiming for but not 75K.

    SQ Premium Economy Food & Service

    Just returned from a SQ PE experience - overall - great on the A380 day time flight from SYD - excellent service with senior cabin crew who seem to only look after PE. Food was surprisingly good. Even had a convenient toilet. Nicolas Feuillatte generously served and even addressed by name...

    SLH 'Partnership'

    Looking forward to this - certainly places Hyatt in the upper echelon range compared to Hilton and IHG- devil will be in the details but if they treat Globalists well -I’m in !
