To add, my RTW is in J but there wasn't even Y availability across the US. I was considering adding a few Canadian cities in to make it all happen but decided to make my own way across the US instead. Am flying into LA and out of NY.

I'm no expert but have booked my own RTW. My aim was to fly on SQ as much as possible. I am initially flying "west" Melbourne to Hong Kong then the rest of my journey is "east" so there may be some flexibility, but I recall in the fine print it may have stated that any ground sectors must...

In November I found a couple of J saver awards for JKF to FRA in August, so T minus 9 months. More fluke than anything, I was scanning (one day at a time on the website) through a window of ~ 2 weeks and stumbled upon a couple that worked for me, managed to secure one of them. So aside from...

I recently booked a *A RTW J using KF points transferred from Velocity. Total 240k KF + ~ $500. I booked in Nov for July-Sep travel so not the full 12 months out. What I found availability / wait-list was: Australia to Asia was pretty good, almost half the flights were available for saver...

Hello, Am wanting to share my recent experience of redeeming a *A Round the World award using KrisFlyer points in case anyone is about to do the same. My adventure starts in July for just shy of 3 months: MEL-SIN-HKG (SQ), HKG-NRT (NH), NRT-LAX (SQ), JFK-FRA (SQ), FRA-BKK (TG), BKK-SIN-MEL...

Last year I hired cars a few times during my USA visit. Once was direct with Alamo. They had one of the best rates of the majors, easily. And included all the necessaries (like insurances). I booked on the site as an Aussie, so the price included those insurances (I understand that if you're...

I did a similar trip last year, with a few more stops (and 7 weeks total). I'd say one week minimum in NYC. I'm happy to share my itinerary with you as you need to divide and conquer as Manhattan is a big place to visit. I booked VA MEL-LAX PE then most flights internally in the US were on...

Hi all, Some good / interesting debate here. I needed a sanity check to see if my expectations were unreasonable. Looks like they were within reason. For the record (so far) I was told I am able to add redeem any Delta flight with my Velocity points and was even quoted the number of points...

I don't usually like to make public noise like this but wanted to air my frustrations at Velocity for the way they've stuffed me around lately. I'm off to the US in May and flying V-Aus Y+ MEL-LAX return, plus a JFK-LAX flight in between - otherwise making my own way around. I intended to pay...

You need to read the PDS or call and ask. For example, my CBA Gold Card covers up to $2,250 for excess cover. So I would want to ensure the car I hire has an excess less of this, or be prepared to pay the difference. I'd have to read more into this but don't necessarily have to pay for the...
