Seeking group wisdom. What's the CX mini J cabins like on A350-900 and this layout of the 777-300ER? I'd imagine quieter but also looks like bassinets on the 777 are in that cabin. Also, which toilets do Y+ pax use on these aircraft as there's no dedicated Y+ toilets. Finally, do bulkhead J...

I've not previously redeemed points for paying for an ALL booking. From what I can gather you can use points when making the booking online OR pay using points at checkout. If making a refundable booking, you can get your points back if you cancel. A few questions: Is there a benefit to one...

Hi all, Looking for wisdom from the crowd. Potentially looking to book GA flights between DPS and SOQ. Wondering if this is worth cashing in Amex points and splurge on J. GA being Skyteam I think I'd need to transfer from Amex to Virgin Atlantic. I'm not familiar with Skyteam and even less so...

Does anyone own a Garmin Fenix 8? My Fenix 6 pro has died. Garmin will sell me a refurbished model for $300 or I go something new. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Fenix 8 and whether you have the AMOLED or MIPS display. For me, the battery life of the AMOLED seems a bit weak...

I heard on the radio this morning that QF9 diverted to MLE due to a medical emergency. It was stated that the plane had been on the ground there for three hours with pax still onboard while they figure out a plan. From Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map | Flightradar24

A little bit of paper included with my most recent statement, informing me that the overseas transaction fee is increasing for the already extortionate 3% to 3.5%. I fear this is going to quickly become the new norm and spread like a cancer to other card providers.

Noticed a hotel I stayed at in the US put an extra charge on my Amex card in error and provided a credit for the same amount back in USD. However, in AUD it's almost $60 less, obviously due to some fee not being refunded. I'm still overseas so contacted Amex via their online chat. In short, too...

Forever and a day I've wanted to go on the Indian Pacific. My dad is getting on and it's also been something of interest to him. Finally, my brother had an idea that the three of us do the trip. He lives overseas while my dad lives in Perth too. The plan is my dad and I will fly across to...

I'm trying to see how tight I can push a work meeting and still make a flight home on 6E to BLR and then QF. I can get the 13:15 6E flight. Few questions about MAA airport if I may... 1) travelling HLO, how much before the flight would I need to get to the airport 2) looks like I can take a...

TG website lists the SQ lounge for J pax. However, the SQ lounge isn't open for the timing for the TG flight. The NZ lounge also isn't open at that time. Any idea where TG sends J/status pax?

I'm not very familiar with *A benefits in general. Given UA gold which is *A gold, what benefits does one get on TG in Y? Do you get access to preferred/paid seating. I couldn't see anything to suggest this, but coming from OW, that would seem like a pretty basic benefit not to get. Looks like...

Not sure if this is a whinge or warning....or both really. I booked a state at Smith's Beach Resort online through the Amex The Hotel Collection site to take advantage of the US$100 credit. I paid using my Platinum Reserve card to make use of the $400 travel credit too. It was a prepaid, none...

I booked QF773 MEL-PER which happens to be a 787 operating a domestic service. I figured they're probably make Y+ seating available to WPs. Looking on EF this is the seat map for Y On both the QF website and app, this is what I get when I try select a seat. Ie, not able to select anything I...

As per the title. Say I book a villa that sleeps four adults and two children under my name as a platinum guest. Would the free breakfast and lounge access be granted to all in the villa if they're registered guests?

In the same vain as this thread Accor properties Maldives and since this old thread is closed coughet Accor properties Wondering if any opinions on the various properties in coughet, especially higher end ones.

Has anyone stayed at any of the Accor properties in the Maldives? If so, would appreciate any comments please. I've been to the Conrad Maldives. What I liked about that resort is the villas, especially over ocean ones, aren't all on top of each other. I've seen pictures of some resorts and the...

In the PER J lounge and further cost cutting means margarine is no longer available. Seems like a pretty basic staple to me. I checked, this isn't a case of they ran out either. Not that I am, but what do they expect dairy intolerant folks to do? What's next? Tea but no coffee? </whinge>

Reports that QF is suspending the flights for the next few days due to the threat of Iran attacking Israel and wanting to avoid airspace in that area. https://airlive.net/news/2024/04/13/breaking-qantas-cancels-direct-flights-to-london-heathrow/...

It seems there are three PP lounges in T3 as well as a Plaza Premium lounge, but the website lists this as closed. The three PP options are SATS premier, Marhaba and Ambassador transit lounge. Any recommendations on the best one to visit or one to avoid? Will be there for a departure and not in...
