    Cathay touts HKG 'Lounge Hopping'

    All Cathay Club lounges are worth a visit. My favourite, especially for long layovers is the Pier lounge. It has a great relaxation area at one end where one can stretch out and have a nap - perfect.

    KORU CLUB or Day room in Auckland

    I believe passes can still be purchased however, to be on the safe side I suggest you call Air New Zealand and ask them. I had a hiccup as I was told payment by ANZ that payment for pass was cash only. It turned out it was credit card only. Good Luck AVM

    How come so many QF seats blocked?

    I am not sure if this is will help explain things, last time we took a Qantas flight to Singapore 2 of the party were Qantas Club members and the third was not. The booking for the 3rd person was made separately. When we looked at seating a few days before not a lot was available, when we did on...

    From my experience your international baggage entitlement may not carry through to RNO unless you can check your baggage through to RNO from SYD, and this would be at the diescretion of the airline . If your flights were all ticketed together then the international baggage entitlement would...

    Northwest lounge Narita

    I took a fare PER to YVR via Narita with Qantas and Northwest. As the layover in Tokyo was several hours I had complimentary use of the Northwest lounge. I must compliment Northwest on a stunning, beautifully appointed and run lounge. Qantas should take a page out of Northwest (Delta's) book...

    Qantas Amex Renewal Offers

    This happened to me last year - my partner signed up as Qantas AMEX Platinum and I was made a supplementary card holder. I decided there was no point in two AMEX cards so decided to cancel my Ultimate Card. The gentleman at AMEX said because I had a good spend history they would refund the...
