    Amex points went into Skywards Family account...??

Now my husband's Emirates account is saying he has zero miles, but there are 300,000 in his Family account. (I do not understand Family accounts!) When I go to book a Classic Reward...

    QSuites Doha-Sydney?

    I really want to try Qatar QSuite, looking at Oct 2024 using Avios…But it seems Doha - Sydney direct is Airbus A380-800 which does NOT have QSuite. Is this correct?

    SQ refund query

    We have SQ J class Sydney - Moscow at end June, then London - Sydney mid-August. One ticket is fully paid, the other is all Krisflyer miles.

    Amex pts transfer now or after Ap 1?

    With the “evaluation” of Amex platinum points coming on April 1, and them offering make up bonus points due to this reduction, is it better to transfer to, say Singapore Airlines, now, or wait for the bonus points? We have about 200K Amex points
