I haven't seen this before... Was just booking a flight with MIAT (Mongolian Airlines) and they give you the option to add a special request to carry a carpet onto your flight.

I just called Etihad Guest to try to redeem some of my miles for a one-way flight on Asiana. There was availability, which the agent confirmed, but they couldn't then provide a quote of the miles or taxes. The agent then put me on hold for a while, and eventually informed me that it's not...

I'll be in economy. But will probably see you in the lounge :p

I think we're on the same flight.

I don't mind checking in early at the Jewel. Better than no early check-in option ;)

Yep. It's why I collect points with multiple different frequent flyer programs (or better, where possible, third-party reward programs that give you the option to transfer points to a choice of airlines as needed). Each program is good for different things.

Do you think all those AAdvantage members are really going to fly Rex when they can get their Oneworld benefits on Qantas?

Haha - it was in Parkes.

I don't think it's targeted? I got this email on 15 April: These are the offer T&Cs from the email: That seems to have worked, thanks! Unfortunately I've already made the booking I needed elsewhere. That is one of the various errors I got yesterday.

There's a promo on at the moment for 2,000 bonus QBR points if you book through their website.

I've been trying to make a hotel booking through Qantas Business Rewards and I just can't seem to do it. First, I tried logging into my account using my Google Chrome browser and I couldn't even get to the login page. Next tried using Firefox - I can get to the login page but after entering my...

In my opinion, the key to getting the best value from award bookings is to understand (a) the sweet spots in each program's award chart, (b) what the award routing rules will let you get away with, and (c) which airlines partner with whom. Of course, this isn't simple and there are so many...

That's a good question. I can recall a few stays in different hotels where my sleep was disrupted - sometimes due to issues where the hotel was (somewhat) at fault, and other times due to factors totally beyond the control of the hotel. E.g. I recall once that the radio alarm beside the bed...

I boarded a flight on the weekend and immediately observed when I entered the plane that someone was in my seat. I just told the flight attendant at the door and they promptly sorted it out with their colleague without a fuss.

Ugh, it looks like some sort of automatic filter/censor didn't like the first part of that word 😂

Indeed I am outside of Australia at the moment - the app must be picking that up, even though I have a VPN running. Will have to try when I get home. Annoying, but at the same time I'm kind of impressed that their app is clever enough to notice that and add/remove such options accordingly.

Has anyone used the "My Island Sleeper Row" upgrade on Fiji Airways? https://www.fijiairways.com/en-au/manage/my-island-sleeper-row/ I like the concept, but it seems this is only offered subject to availability at checkin - i.e. can't be guaranteed in advance. If it works, the additional cost...

And now you won't even have the option to purchase food on board if you've bought a "seat" fare.

I received this email today as a Points Club Plus member. Not sure if the offer is targeted or open to all Points Club/Points Club Plus members who register. In the past when there have been similar offers, it has been double points for Points Club members or triple for Points Club Plus...

That would be cool (even more so if they did this on their 100th anniversary ;))
