I've just had mine posted for flights on the 11th, 13th (I think) and 17th. It says "DOUBLE STATUS CREDITS PROMOTION 23APR12", so I suspect that a pass was done on the 23rd and posted today. Interestingly, it doesn't identify the flights in question as I've had a few flights since those that I...

Silly question, but my reading on the terms in the email states that new bookings made from 1 April are covered. So, if one made a booking or multiple bookings yesterday (or even on Monday as I did) and before this email was sent, my reading of the T&C is that those flights are still covered for...

Thanks alot serfty. Just one more question... How would one approach the call centre with this request? Call 131131 and then ask the agent to add the ORD-IAH segment into the "passive" segment of my booking? I'm guessing that if I get connected to an agent who doesn't know what I'm on about, I...

Hi guys, I've just booked my first YUPP for my upcoming trip to the US. Excited, but also aprehensive about it (as I've left a little over a 2 hour gap between my flights from ORD-IAH and IAH-LAX). Hopefully it should all work out... But, I digress. My real question are these: 1) I've done...

Hi munitalP, I shoot the Nikon version of their "super zoom" lens category (18-200 VR) and I think that it does most things reasonably well. When travelling, i find i have the lens on approx 75% of the time. In the occasions you're shooting in low light, I've snapped on my (very light and small)...

Hi Hayden, an alternative suggestion for you. My wife is currently studying mandarin through these guys and has (so far) found them quite flexible in addressing her learning needs. I'm planning on starting in the new year after I recover from the last 3 years of formal studies... As far as I'm...

Hi Princess Fiona, we purchased (at Woodbury Commons) two 85cm cosmolites and subsequently packed them to the hilt with clothes and shoes (according to Mrs_E, we were apparently "saving money" by doing so :confused: ;)). Packing wise, inside the case there is one section that has a full 'cover'...

Hi reggie, My wife and I just did NYE in NYC with a few friends as well. I can echo other's thoughs to avoid Times Square. We visited the Magnolia's store on 5th Ave around 4:30pm (to pick up some cupcakes and cheesecakes - mmmm red velvet :D) and it was already chockers. Apparently people...

Um, if that's the case I suggest sticking well clear of Tibet. When I was last there ('07) it wasn't exactly a hub for 5* luxury anything...!!! However, the people and the sights more than compensated. Regarding altitude, SWIMBO experienced altitude sickness in Lhasa so took some Dymox (sp?)...

Thanks all for your responses. Still a little undecided, but will do a bit of shopping in HK. According to a mate, apparently I have a friend who has a friend who knows someone etc... :mrgreen: Febs that would be much appreciated if you could compare. The Portugese Chrono is high on my list...

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a swiss watch (no fakes) and will be travelling to both Hong Kong and New York (in that order). The brands I have in mind at the moment are IWC, Panerai and Zenith (although I'm open to others). I'd love to hear people's experiences in either of these cities and...

Hi YQY, yes they do provide a tax receipt and do so by emailing you. Inclusive of GST and tolls, Dom-CBD is $56. Payment is done 'remotely', so the only interaction with your driver is the conversation you choose to have (or not have) with them! On occassion, they are a little laxed with...

Thanks notzac, if by "ticketed" you mean I'm on a CX### flight number then you're right, I am! However, its interesting because the only FF# used on the booking is a QF one, so I'm surprised that I'm able to preselect seats (given I'm a nobody on CX's FFP). Will wait to see if the preselected...

Thanks mate. I've managed to select seats through the cathay pacific website, however these (apparently confirmed) seat preferences haven't flown through to checkmyseat or the Qantas website. I think I'll wait a day or two before giving them (Qantas) a call, if the seat choices aren't updated...

That's an excellent idea markis10. I've checked it, and it looks as though we're in F according to checkmytrip's seat guide (but have retained the exact seats that we had when the flight was on the A330): On a different note though, (I suspect that) due to an aircraft change, the seats...

Yep, it seems as though my PVG-SYD booking in mid-Jan is currently being serviced by a 747... My previous seat allocations seemingly still hold, except I can't get past an earlier flight (CX HKG-PVG) to confirm where those QF seats are located now. Dunno if its worth me calling QF or not, as...

Sydney based SG here, didn't participate in the trail but DID get the tags today (they are kinda big actually)! Well built through, and the stretchy attachment bit is solid :)

Hi Christina, I've used (and can recommend) the following in Australia: In Sydney I use a company called Omnicar (found them through another post on AFF and they have been reasonably good). 02 80148420 or www.omnicar.com.au. I've been picked up with a mixture of Calais and S-class through...

As part of the discussions over the recent changes in QFF benefits, I did a quick search and found this link. I'm not sure how many members have seen it, but personally found it quite interesting. Cheers, W
