    Chances of changing redemption booking for points that have expired

    Thanks for response - I have more points expiring at end of May so would have liked to booked redemption flight. Four weeks ago there were J redemptions (on Singapore website) with LOT or Air India for 61,500 points each. They have gone now sadly. I have aslo searched United Airlines Mileage...

    Chances of changing redemption booking for points that have expired

    My situation is that last June had booked a redemption booking in J from Brisbane to New Delhi on 16 May 2024 for myself and wife. We had booked a Silver Seas cruise that was departing Mumbai on 23 May 2024 to Athens. Silver Seas only cancelled the cruise last Thursday (frustrating as other...

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Would you recommend the Pullman if you have two nights in Delhi? We arrive at 8.00pm on a Thursday night on a Singapore Airlines flight and then leave on the Saturday for a trip for a few days to Agra and Jaipur. One of the positives in doing so is that it close to the airport and as our flight...

    Any suggestions on using Krisflyer Points India to Europe

    Daft thanks for that. I went on the SQ website and tried some J redemption bookings to Europe. Did not know until now there is an option for Star Alliance bookings or other airlines. Tried both features. There is J availability on Air India to Frankfurt and Amsterdam on 24 May 2024 and they are...

    A Magic Carpet, er Ship ride to Arabia.

    I thought the same about SS but the cruise we booked on Silver Moon is 17 nights (Passage to India) for May 2024 and they have some great specials until 31 May 2023. Cost for a Superior Balcony is around $8800 each if you pay in full by 31 May. If i can find someone who is a SS Member i get a...

    Qatar in Brisbane

    BNEFlyer - many thanks for that. Seat Guru must have it wrong. There are 6 differnt configurations in Seat Guru for the 777 and for a few random dates this year it is the 77W six across in 2/2/2. Just checked Expert Flyer which has confirmed is the 77W with QSuites. Should have done that first!

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    RooFlyer I am also Accor + Platinum and my experience in 2022 was that there are some hotels that dont seem to care about status. Had some great experiences last year with status being recognised at most of the stays at Sofitel's. Mecure's. Novotel's and Peppers. But in two stays at the...

    Qatar in Brisbane

    Have been looking at flying QATAR Brisbane to Europe around October/November 2023 in J. Return flights in J are around $8200 which I think is reasonable. The bookings show the flight Bne to Doha is on a 777 - 300ER and a search on Seat Guru of the flight shows it is 6 across in J so is not the...
