    Does Cathay Release More Award Seats to AsiaMiles Members?

    There should but I've not been able to work it out. When I tried other OW ports (eg MEL-KUL) the Cathay site always routed my through HKG

    Does Cathay Release More Award Seats to AsiaMiles Members?

    Sorry, just re-read your question. I rarely book Returns and only venture into Multi-City when have at least some partial options. I've found multi-city to be buggy and unreliable (QF & CX websites) I have noticed that QF sometimes opens up extra availably for multi-sector domestic "one ways"...

    Does Cathay Release More Award Seats to AsiaMiles Members?

    General advice is to search for one sector at a time however I often start with a quick "one way" check just in case it's available. ie my usual trip is MEL-MAN so I so a quick search for that then if nothing available, i will break it down to MEL-HKG or SYD-HKG or PER-HKG then once search for...

    £5 Credit with new GiffGaff Account - Good for UK and EU roaming

    I've been using a prepaid EE SIM (from UK) in UK and seamlessly in Europe for several years. However they have recently reduced their roaming offer and we ended up paying relatively expensive weekly topups to use it in EU. In short - AVOID.

    BYO Eye Mask and Ear Plugs in SQ Business ?

    Yes, noise cancelling headphones were available in J. Waiting at the seat (in a nook) in a small clear plastic cover and with 'hygienic' thin ear pad covers - which I didn't actually use.

    BYO Eye Mask and Ear Plugs in SQ Business ?

    Recently flew FCO-SIN-MEL with SQ in J and was more than a little disappointed not to be offered an amenity kit of any description - especially as the first sector was 12 hours overnight. Retrospectively, I've read the Penhaligon’s amenity kit is 'on request' and fair enough if they're looking...

    AFF on Air Discussion thread

    Hi Matt, Firstly, I'd like to say the podcasts are great. I've never really listened to podcasts before but it's a great improvement on scrolling through at a small screen on the way home! My question is around some of the terms used by airlines when booking flights. I've recently booked...

    As a VA household and UK expat, this is full of great info. Thank you. We are annual UK travellers with typical route MEL-SIN independently then SIN-MAN-MEL with EY. One consideration not fully mentioned as yet is the status credits. We are VA due to status credit pooling. HRH maintains...

    ANZ Cancelling or Suspending Points

    Been through the ANZ complaints process myself recently. Not quite the same scale but did manage a positive outcome. After opening a new Black QF card, they failed to deliver the bonus points. Four months of excuses later, the finally explained that my "Breakfree" package (and associated fee...
