    I just spent 24 hours in the Latam signature lounge

    So my flight on Latam from Santiago last Saturday got cancelled. These things happen, we had to turn around due to a sick passenger. The issue was how poor Latam handled it. Essentially Business class got told to go to the Signature lounge. Now its a really nice lounge, it has a small section...

    So I'm trying to book a trip for May/June this year to the Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia) followed by the Balkans (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia). Flights between the regions are going to be on Ukrainian or Aeroflot and thats another adventure altogether. Thus I'm looking at an...

    Best Star Alliance program for infrequent flyers

    I've got 4 flights booked on Copa in April and as they will earn around 5000 miles, I figured I should get a *A membership to put the points against. So which one? As the title suggests, I probably won't fly them much, maybe some Singapore legs on occasions? More likely to be Copa or Avianca...

    Travel to Cuba on Qantas/oneworld

    I've been looking at options to get to Cuba on Qantas/One world. QF has a good deal on premium economy to South America right now and I can get to Lima return from CBR for ~$2600 or economy for as little as ~$1600 for April 2016. LAN does have flights then to Havana, but they are quite pricey...

    Sofia - Bulgaria - Preslav Lounge short review

    I've got a flight on Qatar J from SOF to CMN via DOH. They seem to have 2 lounges here in Sofia and not much else to be honest, pretty empty both before and after immigration. I'm in what they call the Preslav lounge which is actually downstairs almost on the way out! The lounge upstairs in...

    RJ AMM to TUN not in QFF calculator

    I've got a big multicity booking which includes a DXB-AMM and AMM-TUN leg. On the Qantas points calculator the DXB-AMM leg is available, but not the AMM-TUN leg. They are both in the same cheap discount economy class K which earns points and SC's. I believe the AMM-TUN leg is 1502 miles and...

    Bhutan - Land of the Thunder Dragon

    I thought I'd do a trip report for my recent trip to Bhutan. So first things first, to visit Bhutan you need to go on a package as such. The package is a government mandated daily fee that includes 3* accommodation, guide, driver, vehicle, all meals, tea+coffee and some bottled water, entrance...

    I've booked myself a 30 day trip in Central Asia from Ashgabat in Turklmenistan to Biskek in Kyrgyzstan (apparently fake places according to some friends). Seems the easiest option is to fly China Southern from Sydney to Guangzhou, Urumqi then Ashgabat and return...

However I'm flying via Singapore to Frankfurt in 4 weeks. I was hoping to see if i can buy them at...

    Booking an award flight on Malev ??

    Hi i'm thinking the answer to this question is you can't, or need to call. I've decided to book my next OS holiday myself. Travel agents are hopeless these days. I just jumped onto the Qantas site and found return airfares from CBR-FRA for less than the travel agent. But i want to go to...

    I recently upgraded a DRW-BNE-CBR flight to business with my ever increasing supply of points (still only PS). Anyway work changed everything and had to fly back and even got the DRW-CBR flight. The woman said she could transfer my upgrade, then told they couldn't because its within 24 hours...

    QF vs LAN to Buenos Aires

    I'm looking at going to Buenos Aires. I'll skip Aerolineas Argentina thanks :-) Funnily enough One world has competitively priced fares. Now i can fly CBR-SYD-EZE on QF or CBR-SYD-AUK-SCL-EZE on LAN. Assuming the QF website is correct, I get QFF status and FF points on LAN international...

    CBR-PER points options

    Ever since I've started reading this forum people at work think I'm mad. Especially when I pointed this out to them the other day (I'm sure you experts are well aware of these things). I've flown to Perth a few times lately (sitting in the PER QC right now). Anyway I said to one guy I was...
