Just in MAS Golden Lounge in KL (satellite). The have a Platinum Suite room reserved for their top tier FFs but are not letting Emeralds in even when quiet. Hardly fair I would say. Admittedly it's a smallish room but is there precedent to start showing MH platinum a to the J lounge in SYD and...

Did I miss something or mis-read but from that email today it appeared to me that DJ just enhanced us to remove ATA for lounges?

My check-in roller bag is nearing its last legs. I have a goal of burning some FF points this year. What recommendations are there for the current range of rolling check-in luggage on the FF store. I need the second largest size but there appear to be several model ranges (Electra...

Random thoughts (mini TR) from yesterday's SYD-AUH on VA air New Zealand lounge pretty basic but fair wine selection. Nice (if a bit bogan) touch of having a DIY hot dog stand in the lounge. Good fast WiFi but no real snacks to carry on board Priority boarding a breeze. Looks like I got a...

I have a 3 city India trip coming up on Dec 30th. Will be flying there on SQ in full Y.

Since I've already re-qualified for WP, I'm thinking of starting to credit to AA but struggling with the logic. If I quote my AA number when booking do I lose my WP shadow and would I get lounge access domestic or international. I hold no status whatsoever with AA Second question - is there a...

To balance it up - what do you enjoy most about hotel stays and hotels in general I'll kick that off... Wonderful personalised service that I receive from the Shangri-la group including Champange and a birthday cake whenever I stay on my birthday (including the entire staff of the Horizon Club...

Have to fly from Sydney to Cairo in Feb. Would prefer to try to maximise OneWorld credits. Not too keen on flying Egypt Air (anyone have any experiences?) Initial thoughts are SYD-HKG on CX and then try Emirates connecting through Dubai. But is there a better way? Return leg will be to Mumbai...
