Thanks MEL_Traveller Cheers

We recently bought our airfares Brisbane -London and return using our Westpac Credit card. Yah! And their travel insurance looks good - so far. So this thread has been a great help. Thank you. But I do have a question about Preexisting medical conditions. I have recently been told I have...

I will be going to the UK, Germany and Switzerland for 3 weeks from mid Sept and like may others, am trying to get my head around the intricacies of travel insurance. From my reading of this thread I have a short list of 3 - Medibank, Insure and go, Go insurance. And now I have more reading of...

Hi. I am planning on going to the UK in September/October and shouting myself Business Class. One of the better deals I found is listed as being with Lufthansa. But the first 2 (long) legs Brisbane to Germany is shown as being on Singapore Airlines flights. So it is a Lufthansa flight number...

Thanks for the tip, ozduck

Thanks for the comments. A couple of follow up points. I had been using Google flights to monitor fares. But I don't remember seeing this deal on Google flights. So I need to start looking at other portals. Packages like this are quite viable for me - the actual SAS flight is only one hour...

Hi I plan on going Business class from Brisbane to London and return early next year. I am looking for advice on what it means where the flight is offered by one airline but you seem to be travelling with another For example, today I found a deal from SAS for about $4900 (via bestjet.com). But...

PM sent. Thanks for your interest and help.

Hi Today I tried to book a fare Brisbane-Melbourne during Virgin's Happy Hour. All went well until the payment screen. The screen indicated I could use my frequent flyer points (minimum of 5000) and to use the slider to indicate how many points I was using. But there was no slider. Rang...

Thanks to all for the comments on seat allocation at the time of purchase. I will also follow up expertflyer. Presumably it only shows available seats after the seat allocation window opens. Cheers

Hi I am shouting myself a business class trip from Brisbane to the UK next year. As I am travelling by myself, I would like to get the seat I want. For example I do not want to be stuck in the middle of a 3 or 4 seat configuration. In lots of discussions, posters have talked of reserving and...

Bob's comments got me wondering so I thought I would have a look at the Enrich program. When I went into their site there was lots of info on redemption but I could find any tables or lists on how many points were needed for various sectors/classes. Could someone post a link for me please...

In my case there would be one full fare and one on points I spoke to Thai in Brisbane yesterday (the national line was not operating). I explained I had points with Amex and some miles with Thai. I asked if I could transfer them from Amex when I was sure the seats were available and reserved...

Hi I am currently collecting Amex points to use on a trip to the UK. As I also have some miles with Thai Royal Orchard, I will probably use a Star Alliance airline - probably Thai or Singapore. I was going to leave my points in the Amex account until I was ready to book. But my question is Do...

Thanks for the links, pshepvic Cheers

pshepvic, You mentioned the companion fares though Amex Platinum travel in your comments. We have Amex cards and would like to get some details on this. I searched Amex's site but could not get any details. Do you have a link for this please? Cheers

Thanks again for the advice on the edge card following my posting of a couple of weeks ago. I finally got the new edge card without any problems and within a coupe of days of my application. The problem started when I followed up on the situation with the reward points. The card services area...

Thanks for the welcome and comments. I rang Amex again and the advice was to apply for the edge on line then ring them to make sure the points were transferred. Thanks also to the various contributors - these is a great site. Cheers

I am looking at moving across to this Edge card. One of the statements in the on-line application is Note: Membership Rewards points will not be transferred to your new Platinum Edge Credit Card. Obviously I don't want to loose my points. 2 calls to Amex have left me none the wiser. How do I...
