Let's hope that QF do this again!

They use a B777-300ER on SYD-CHC sector, which comes in two class and three class versions. Irrespective, I think the J class seats are lie flat. And according to the EK website (but I suspect that there may be additional component/cabinet space (cupboards, trays etc) on the A380 because of...

You would probably want to be looking at how close the wing tips are to the said stunning local scenery.

Applies to all games, doesn't it?

May the best team win, deploying open, running rugby! See you at Twickenham.

I would rather the FAs (and all on board) kept their socks on, thank you.

Dressing in smart clothing is not just a matter of taste. As the recent BA emergency evac at LAS showed, sensible clothing could mean the difference between life and death (especially if you do not try to exit with your carry on luggage). So I try to bear in mind such a situation and avoid...

I rented a BMW 118i from Hertz a couple of times. Call me blonde (light brown actually) but for the life of me, I reckoned it would have taken me a good amount of time to go through the manual to try and decipher how to use it. So I had to try and wing it. I thought I was so clever when I...

The rules are complex and the site doesn't have the cues that the email says will be there. On check out, the shipping was still included, even thought AMEX was used to pay. I had to send an email to Amazon Customer Care with a screen shot of the promotion email and they refunded my shipping...

A nice sweetener, but at 15%, I'm not convinced that it will be enough. Still well short of the 50% bonus point offer Virgin made a few years ago (jumped at with no hesitation) - they're still sitting in my Velocity rewards waiting for a decent event to use them (oh for another status match...

There are exceptional recommendations and advice in this forum for status credit runs ... :D

Thanks for the advice, defurax. I will probably simply stick with my PE booking at this stage, although J is tempting!

I, too, received the double SC offer to HKG, but I already have a PE booking in January. Should I now cancel this, and use the credit to rebook a "Super Saver" Y fare, and request a points upgrade?

As a general observation, hotel loyalty is often easily gotten around by hotels by saying "not available" or having rooms that are only slightly better (e.g. a corner room, or bigger windows, or has a bath) as an easy means of meeting the upgrade obligation. That being said some staff are very...

I have to say, that all the upgrades I have ever had at Flinders Lane have been to rooms/suites that are not much to write home about. Plenty of space, yes, but burdened with designed in 1983 decor and facilities.

The main benefits of Le Club Platinum only apply if your stay is at a Sofitel, Pullman or MGallery. I have had Novotel people simply say that those benefits do not apply at their hotel (in the nicest, friendliest, customer orientated way (cough)).
