Agree with the moving around: we have travelled on trains around France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy and they have been very good but it takes a main portion of the day. Innsbruck was a lovely surprise and a great scenic route is the train from Zurich. We also love Rome/Paris and Florence...

Thank you, I will give them another try in the New Year.

Hi, need some opinions/advice please. We have a waitlisted biz and confirmed economy award on SIA for 1 and confirmed biz for 1 same time/day Bangkok to Perth, end of May. Virgin have an available award biz same times, same day. Do we wait hoping for SIA to release the waitlisted biz or just...

Bhutanese or Tibetans?

sorry, just fact checked the forest - 70%. Possibly lost some over the past few years. Agree with others about the Stans but doubt we'll ever get there.

Definitely do not give up on Bhutan; it's an amazing little country - I think it is something like 90% forested and the Government has the "happiness" measure for success. Very different approach. Of course, they have their share of problems, not least the relationship with the country on the...

We travelled Pegasus to Trabzon years ago, much better than Vueling (never do again). Took a bus to SAW which was a fair way out of Istanbul central. Rather convoluted getting there and would be better if there was a train.

Hi, Yes, we couldn't quite work out the room we were allocated except it was one of the older styled rooms which had been upgraded with carpet and some fittings and it was spacious. Which can be different to some of the newer redesigned rooms i.e. we have had an "Executive" designated room...

Thank you for the trip report; we go to Esperance in March and will check out the Castle Rock - didnt know it existed.

this is a great thread and good to know about the Aus/NZ trains as we probably wont be able to get to the others for a while. We travelled on the Feve - thanks to Seat 61 - a couple of years ago. It was a very fun way to travel, back in time complete with man in hat with flags and whistles at...

Thank you all for suggestions, I have found it to be a waste of time speaking to people in the Philippines or wherever and I might leave it until April as WA suggests. Pity about the Feb bookings but too bad. Thanks all

Guess so: what's the best time for the U.S?

I was upgraded after meeting a status challenge and I had a conversation with the Honours rep on the phone and he nominated the two years upgrade based on our location (WA) and there not being many Hiltons in the vicinity. At the time, there was only the Parmelia in Perth and we don't live in...

Hi, Help with this one if possible. I was upgraded to Diamond in March 2018 with the status earned until March 2020 and was sent an email confirming this. In December I was downgraded to Gold: which is not unreasonable as we have not had a lot of stays in 2018. However, we are doing more and...
