I've contacted hotels.com and was unable to get a straight answer. United Hotels is only contactable via phone. I've made a booking via United Hotels (so I can earn United Miles). My cousin (in Canada) has also made a booking on my behalf via hotels.ca (so he can earn free nights). Just...

I have only about 11,500 miles earned since 2017 (my last flight to Canada) and flying again soon (United and Air Canada). I'm a slow earner as I'm not a frequent traveller. What is the best way to increase my miles? I have car rental through Hertz and some accommodation, though not sure I...

Last time I flew MEL to YVR via LAX (United Airlines), I had to collect my luggage at LAX then schlep it to another terminal to check in for the LAX to YVR leg. I'm flying in a few weeks and for the life of me, can't remebember how I found out about picking up my bags etc. Flying UA MEL to LAX...

I'm flying Economy next month and just out of curiosity, was looking at upgrade options. There's no option to upgrade to Economy Plus, just Business Class (for $3000+!). Is such an upgrade available? I guess it wouldn't hurt asking at check in right, although depends on how much extra...

I had no idea my United Miles had an expiry date, as I last flew in 2017. I only logged into my account the other week as I'm flying again next month...only to see my miles expired :confused: I have the option of re-instating them for $100USD.....can't decide if worth it or not. I have around...

Booked to travel MEL to LAX in June on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. I have the option to pay to "upgrade" to Economy Plus. Is it worth paying an extra $186 (unsure if USD or AUD) for a mere 3in? Also, regarding Premier Access, it seems this has been "purchased" for some legs of my flights but...

I received an eMail this morning from QFF asking if I'd like to purchase a lounge pass for my upcoming trip to Perth, so I did for the return flight. Unfortunately stupid me, still half asleep, didn't read the eMail properly, as I thought I could buy one for my sister. Unfortunately, as I had...

Has anyone stayed here? Travelling in November and looking at staying here. Will be travelling alone, so thought I would splurge a little.

I've been told by many friends to stay in Fremantle. I won't have a car so will be relying on my feet and public transport. I've got two hotels on hold, one in the CBD (Parmelia Hilton), the other in Fremantle (Tradewinds), as I don't have to pay until I get there. I'm open to any other...

Travelling to Hawaii later this year (with Jetstar). My friend gave me a complimentary lounge pass which unfortunately expires next month (I've given to another friend who is travelling this month), but I've found these listed on eBay. Never been to a lounge before, so would it be worth going...

Need to hire a car whilst in Hawaii and have been looking at UDrive. Anyone used them and are they any good? I've previously hired through Driveaway Holidays, as the prices are in AUD and include insurance. Another option is Discount Hawaii Car Rental. UDrive are slightly cheaper than...

This morning I've booked my flights for MEL to HNL and departing in August. I haven't booked inter island flights, accommodation or car rental as yet. Do I need insurance now or wait til everything is booked? In the past I've booked everything pretty much at once but couldn't pass up the $800...

Went to Hawaii last Aug/Sep and spent 10 days (split between Hilo and Kona) on the Big Island and 5 on O'ahu. Planning on going back next September. Definitely going back to the BI as I thoroughly enjoyed it, as there is so much to see and do (did a lava proximity hike, helicopter flight and...

When HA started flights from BNE to HNL, how much were the fares when they first started flying, if that makes sense? There is talk of HA commencing flights from MEL to HNL and want to get an indication of price compared to Jetstar. I flew to HNL with Jetstar with fares purchased during the...

Is there much difference really or just a novelty? I'm on the A380 later this year HKG-SIN-MEL. So far I've reserved seats on the upper deck. I've only flown on the lower deck. Is one deck quieter than the others? Best seats? I'm currently sitting in Row 75.

I'm off to HK later this year and wish to take my laptop. Hotel provides internet access, but is pricey. I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 and whilst it has a sim card slot, I can't actually insert a sim card into it. My sister has a spare 3 USB dongle. Can I purchase some sort of sim card...

Anyone got any recs for any portable small laptop speakers with decent enough sound? Also after some headphones that aren't break my bank expensive. Planning on watching videos on my laptop during the flight...catch up on Supernatural :lol:

Looking at hiring a car for the 5 days I'm there. Prefering to hire without any insurance as I have travel insurance, which covers me for up to $4000 damage. Has anyone had issues hiring without insurance, like bogus damage etc?

Got this info from my T: Baggage Charges for USA Carriers as at 25 March 2010 In recent months, US carriers have introduced fees for check in baggage. There are charges for checking in luggage on domestic flights and in some cases, charges for additional bags on international flights As a...

Looking at buying one of these for when I go to the US in August, save mucking around with finding internet cafes, as most of the hotels we are staying at have free wifi. I was originally going to buy a 32GB iPod Touch but for a few dollars more, better off getting a laptop, which I can claim...
