Hi sprucegoose, if you have your heart set on SQ, go via ADL, and in most cases your request will be positive. Leaves @12.50 arriving SIn @1740, leaves @ 2340 arrives FRA @ 630, leaves @ 830 arrives jfk @ 1045. The only hassle is the return where you arrive in SIN at 630am and dont leave till...

So well put, it is the main reason I will not fly with a LCC. I can see myself in this situation every time I pass one of their check ins. You mean, I have to line up with all these people, I always travel with this much carry on, just who do YOU think you are telling me to stand aside. WOW...

Hello Michael Hoy, boy, do I feel for you, because I didn't do it once , I did it twice. My FIL name is John but as you can imagine, everyone called him Jack. When I took him away with me I continually booked him in as Jack, and it created one problem after another. Everytime it happened, it...

The Australian flying public has been offered the lowest fares ever seen this year, if they are so lazy and apathetic, not to be able to recognise a good deal when they see it, charge the blighters full price, I say. Difficult to blame the airlines, they will only discount a percentage of their...

Hi QF009, that is a cracker of a fare, BA/QF have a First companion fare out of BKK for 86000baht++ to SYD/MEL, asking at the moment what's avail out of HKG and willadvise if it comes through. Forever being told about the ICN fares, must follow them up:). Jusr got some TG for Jan/Feb2010...

Hi elisa, I believe IainF is heading you in the right direction. Villas are nice but they unless you pay heaps, you will find that the service is a lot tobe desired. I would tend to sway you towards a suite at a major, my favourites are the Hyatt, my preference is for an old timer on the beach...

Hi, I had one of the extra cheap V fares off the net, which cannot be upgraded, so I was prepared for a couple of hours with Dan Brown and had the socks and earphones ready. Checking in, I went for an upgrade, and without blinking, came back with 2.5m rupiah. Love it when you can turn something...

... was it the platform shoes that gave me away, maybe it was the rug

Hi Sprucegoose, it is fabulous if you are going to the centre, club is good, however if your business is up the other end, this area can become a bit quiet at night, you may feel left out of it, regards bkkrop

Hi thewinchester, when all else fails, consider the benefits of lounge access, in here the process is on a one to one basis. I had to, well I didn't have to, but I bought a couple of the mangers into the SYD lounge to show them, and it was just after a sales pitch on our new chocolate range, and...

Hi zzyss, I am afraid you have dog's hope of getting anything, as it was an airfare/hotel package and very reasonably priced, your asssumption is correct. To keep you attuned to what the airlines need, however, they need the original boarding pass (make sure you copy it), proof of payment eg c/c...

Anyone trying to top up their *A program, this has to be the buy of the year, $2750, all in, for business to BKK or $3450 all in, in First, if you are able to triple your mileage, this is better than sensational. This beats the SQ sale ex BKK, just a shame the TG fare has to start by 31st...

Hi, just a reminder to the community that the FFN's are alive and kicking. You know the drill, 2 stays and get a free night, also enroll for the double stays credit, just makes it, that much easier to stay duamond for another couple of years. There are 2 programs out at the moment, GP607 and...

Hi, just saw a great aerial shot of the extensions to the Melbourne airport and it looks just about finished bar for six or so airbridges and they are parked over near the private jets. This will be a tremendous improvement to MEL and will save being parked and bused in third world style. Anyone...

Hi, it's been a question that keep me up at night and often whilst sipping champagne in the Hyatt's club lounge after a massage, the thought causes me deep concern. As it worries me, the nicest thing I could do, was to disperse any rumours that we are driven by "who will pamper us the most"...

I wouldn't worry, he/she has already decided on SQ, and they will be very happy as long as they get the correct flight out of Melbourne and get the newer aircraft. My friends do it all the time to me, but if you think they are serious, a very quick check, and Gulf air, Finnair etc are offering...

Hi megsfield and welcome to the board, and also my first chance to answer something:D. It may sound unfair but 29000 doesn't get you much nowadays, you will need around 55000 to get over to Bangkok and return. Don't worry, if you particularly like Thailand pick their national carrier TG, it more...

Sounds like my sort of program, thanks all again, I shall haunt the AA board on FT for a while and "become an expert" regrads bkkrop

Dave Noble, QF009 and Mwenenzi, thank you This is turning into a steep learning curve and I appreciate your imput. The figures are all different, America used to cost 220,000 in F, but I have two return trip upgrades per year and a 50% redemption also, so often I used the 170,000 in C and...

Thank you V8Statesman and Alanslegal I am, I do spend one hell of a lot of time in the BKK office, I am from MEL, country Victoria and fly SQ and TG predominately every month throughout Asia, twice yearly to Europe and Garuda within indonesia. I am *G. I use Hyatt, Starwood SPG and Hilton for...
