They are good most of the times, but for small cities and regional towns the number of available hotels is still significantly fewer than Agoda, Expedia/Wotif. Another thing need to watch out is the awards dollars are expired 18 months after. I was hit by this last month, lost about $80...

Why not hire a car and drive 2 hours to Rotorua? This is actually my itinerary for the coming Queens Birthday long weekend, with EK F redemption ticket :)

Alright, I have read thru all the posts under this thread while waiting my 2 hours delay at LST for flight back to MEL. Apparently there was a system meltdown of VA which was causing a significant network damage. So back to the topic, I wouldn't rate MEL anywhere close to the worst airport, but...

My wife got similar email, PS for the last two years, but only $150 credit.

I've been to this DT twice this month. Being a Gold, no upgrades both times. First time was at a higher floor with window and second time is at Level 2 a windowless room. To be honest, there is no difference between the 2 regardless window or not. Breakfast was sub-standard, if you have to pay...

Wait until this arvo (Thu) happy hour, you may be lucky to find some good ones.

Flew with Cathay Pacific last two weeks, flight out of MEL boarding was a mess, there was no rules at all. While at HKG, things worked like a charm, F/J with Platinum first, Gold/Silver/Marco Polo second, and after the first two was the general boarding (Infants were actually grouped in the last...

I think most likely the answer is no. I was flying VA from MEL to CHC last month and the check in agent suggested I can only use the domestic lounge if I really want.

Re: Hilton HHonours Macquarie Platinum Card How did you tell you status got upgraded? From Hilton website? If that's the case, is your new expiry date set to be Mar 2016? I am currently a Gold, so I can't tell if the status had been applied to my account.

Re: Hilton HHonours Macquarie Platinum Card I had the same issue when I activated my card last week and tried to access it online via http://www.macquarie.com.au/macquarieonline, I rang them a couple of times, nothing helpful. later I found out I can actually access my account via...

Re: MEL-AKL-MEL on EK – if you could only do F in one direction which would you choos Am thinking about doing same thing this winter, and noticed the big tax differences. For MEL - AKL, 2 F tickets will cost $191.62 (AUD) while on the way back it's only $100.88 (NZD).

So a pair of runner shoes, jeans, plus t-shirt is acceptable or not?

Mine is still showing Gold...

I'm Chinese, and yes my wife is on her own surname which is different to mine. We had no trouble in getting into DXB transit hotel, and the booking is under my name only. They did take my wife's passport for a scan, but no questions asked. BTW, the checkin staffs were majority Asian face then.

I know CBA supp cards definitely share the same number as the primary one.

I called CBA the day before Christmas Eve when I read about the Amex Diamond would be eligible for the new SYD lounge (2 invitations only thou), the lady over the phone told me since I am on the wealth package, it will be free for me to upgrade from Platinum to Diamond for the whole time my loan...

No points of November so far for both me and MRS, so that's 300 points missing...

Well if you can read and speak Chinese, one tip I can give you is to search hotels on Taobao (EBay equivalent in China). Most of the hotels can be booked from there with a significant saving, which usually comes with breakfast as well. There are many sources for this deal, many of them are...

I thought priority bags are existed for a long time for sg and wp, at least that's my experience with CX, JL and MH.

Just booked my NZ trip to CHC for the Australia Day week 2015. Outbound VA100, will stay at Sudima overnight, which is very close to the airport. (Used hotelclub 15 off coupon) Had a hard time to choose between 6.05am NZ or 8.35pm JQ fly back, but to save one night's stay, opt to orange...
