    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    I emailed the GM last week and queried this. No ETA on the EL. In fact at my last stay most of the staff pretended it doesn’t exist (it shows on the map in the app)

    Hilton (brand) returning to MEL

    They’re a friendly bunch. I was just in to have a look around and they offered me cookies and drink vouchers since they found out I was diamond.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    I work in the industry. They’ll be using chat templates and canned responses. Expectation is probably for a single agent to handle 3 or 4 chars concurrently.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    The chat is almost certainly a real person. AI hasn't come as far as you think. Yet.

    Hilton (brand) returning to MEL

    Yup, I was there last night and that was the suggestion. Nothing set in stone, but the building is owned or leased by JLL, who currently run the DT, so it kind of makes sense.

    Best place to buy an iPad

    If you buy the iPad from the Apple store in Perth you can claim the tax back under the TRS. If you choose to purchase one overseas the adapters are all universal and you can simply change the end to suit the country you are in. Also, often you can find them at stores for discounted prices...

    Vacation rentals in New York City,

    I've rented out apartments in NYC on 3 occasions, all for less than 30 days. A bit of government red tape getting in the way of people making the best use of housing is cough. I doubt anything will happen unless someone dobs the owner in. As I said, I've never had a problem with the city or any...

    Fly AIR Canada in Canada back to USA?

The kicker is that they do not offer a complimentary meal service, but that is true for any transcontinental flight in Canada. Air Canada JAZZ is their regional airline, flying the east...

    Qantas double SCs

    I thought I had registered for this a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't sure, so I went and did it again today. I had a couple of flights last week and they're only showing the base SC, not the double for the promo. Should I be concerned? I don't recall, but was it book and fly within the promo...

    Canada mobile sim?

    AT&T roaming does work now, but it's really expensive. Don't bother with it.

    Canada mobile sim?

    You have a few options for Canada. They have a lot of small carriers, much like we do here. They all offer reasonably priced pre-paid offers. Usually they don't include data, but you shod be able to add international calls. You should look at Fido, Boost, Koodoo and others. If you want data...
