Apologies for the duplicate post then - didn't see tommauger's post. Happy for thread to be removed.

After disappearing for the last 6 months or so, it looks like the Qantas Ultimate American Express was re-released in the last couple of days. Same offer as per previous campaigns - 50k points with a requirement of just $500 spend (Qantas purchase for the last 2500 points). Direct link here...

Hi All, Mrs dejium are moving to Toronto in a couple of months, and yesterday booked our one way flights: PER-MEL-SYD-DFW-YYZ (final leg on AA). Taking advantage of the transit rules, we have about 15 hours in MEL and 23 hours in DFW (SYD is only 3 hrs). Like some recent posts, my question is...

I asked and was declined when checking in for 3 Delta flights last year. In the end I just paid when checking in online. Others may have been more persuasive - I'd be interested to hear more.

I generally use vroomvroomvroom.com.au for good deals, even a day out. Saying that, sometimes qantas.com/cars has a good price also. If you play it right, you can use the Qantas booking to trigger the Price Promise on VVV to get an even lower rate.

Thanks the winchester - I did see your remarks on the test. Doesn't look like all the feedback has been addressed yet. Will be able to check out the arrivals process tomorrow.

A couple of other things: saw CEO Brad Greatches watching over proceedings, and taking photos on his phone of some of the queuing issues. Also (understandably for the moment) no VA premium security line. Could this change once Skywest ownership advances?

Went through the new Terminal 2 today, on its first peak morning since opening. A bit chaotic as you'd expect, but nothing that can't be fixed. A few things I noticed or conveyed to me by colleagues: Check In: While I had carry on only, I'm told that Check In was a bit of a nightmare. Long...

My fees was due this month too. Called to cancel due to an overseas move, but I did suggest a move to the Discovery card as a replacement. AMEX were surprisingly happy to waive the fees, so it looks like someone's getting a free flight out of me this year. FWIW my call was initially answered by...

+1 for the SkyTrain. Very flexible with the two handles, shoulder strap and backpack conversion. Would buy another in an instant, but with no signs of wear after 2 years, it may be a while.

Boolgeeda is now indeed a sealed strip, upgraded last year and opened late November. Designed to handle three 737-800s or A320-200s at a time. The upgrade means no more 2.5 hour turbo prop flights from PER, no more 2 hour bus journeys to PBO and an end to very early and late commute flights.

Re: AA lounge access on AA codeshare (CX metal) Thanks for the heads up - I'll look further into the earning classes and make my decision that way. Cheers

Currently looking at a CX flight from SFO-HKG. An AA codeshare is available for roughly the same price, but having not taken any codeshares previously, I have a couple of questions. Being QP, would this entitle me to AA lounge access at SFO? Apart from extra points earn on AA, are there any...

Thanks for the info banger2. I've just seen that the connection time for the flights I was looking at has reduced to 1h 45m, so I'll probably take an earlier 3K flight to make a longer and safer connection. Out of interest, were the transfer desk able to find and retag your bags, or did you...

Thanks for the info all. Looks like I'll give it a shot - will let you all know how I get on. Cheers.

Hi again all, In a never ending quest for extra points and SCs, I need some advice regarding connections in SIN. I'm thinking of doing the following: 3K698 HKG-SIN arriving 17:30, then QF78 SIN-PER departing 19:45, giving a 2hr 15min connection time. These would be ticketed separately, and...

I got an email stating: "THANK YOU for registering for the Radisson Big Night Giveaway. You are receiving this email to confirm that you have successfully registered and are eligible to earn 50,000 bonus Gold Points®.Simply complete a qualifying one night stay at any Radisson® or Radisson Blu...

Agreed the time is certainly much better for us than those in the US. I was able to register after a few tries - seemingly it has been a popular promotion. Unfortunately my planned stay in Melbourne has been delayed. Need to convince Mrs dejium to get over there before July 15.

Nice work on finding a room that cheap. With no Radisson in Perth anymore, I'm looking at $199 for a night in Melbourne next week. No other travel planned over east before the promotion ends, so that's my only chance.

Haven't seen anything on AFF about the Radisson Big Night Getaway. Is anyone looking at participating? In a nutshell, once registered and after one stay, you earn 50000 Club Carlson points (enough for 1 night in any Carlson property). With the prices of the few Radissons here in Australia...
