Hi All, A quick query as I was rejected for a missing points claim for a flight Porto to Zurich on a Veuling flight but ticket clearly states SOLD AS IB 5278. I even purchased it via Iberia website. I gather Veuling is Jetstar to Qantas. Clearly my flight number belongs to a partner airline...

Hi all, any tips as which is better, Capital Hilton (has exec lounge not that means much in USA and appears from some photos to have some construction next door 60k HH), Embassy Suites (50k HH) or the Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC Downtown (60k HH). Leaning to the last one as looks to be the...

Re: HHonors Promotions Not sure of the logic here. Same ratio of bonus points. I would go for either if you plan to stay in Hilton. I wish I could buy more at this bonus rate irrespective.

Re: HHonors Promotions My link had: "Exclusive offer just for you! We've raised your points purchase limit to 160,000 Points through June 3rd. "

Re: HHonors Promotions Thought it wouldn't take long....100% More HH points! Also I received as a Diamond, a special increase to allow double the limit to 160,000 + 160,000. So I took up the offer immediately! Excellent savings now and moving some of my upcoming RTW bookings from the payable...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Hi all, I have a conference in Washington DC Sept 21-23. Currently Business saver fares to ADL-LAX for $5300 leave Sunday 18th arrive Sunday LAX 8am depart LAX 25th. Would like to do status run on AA first since this is far cheaper anyway then...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread In both instances the RTW was covered under the one PNR.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread A side one to this, I am also confused whether you need to do a family transfer to have the exact points in your own account or qantas can pool at the time of booking. I have booked 3xJ RTW rewards twice for the family...

With something like this, a good course of action to inflict an equal measure of pain is to specifically request a written letter to a full audit trail including all the notes taken and how this monumental cough up occurred. This means it has to be elevated to the executive level for such a...

Hi all, my family recently have flown VA returning from Bali. Due to the volcano our family return with business class went via MEL to ADL then original direct flight (didn't care as knew I would score bonus status credits and make SG so was happy as it was 120 extra credits for free). I was on...

Just finished a few nights at hilton DT Dublin. Could have breakfast in EL or main rooms. Good thing is EL has Guinness on tap most of the day help yourself with a video of how to pour perfect pint.

Reminder to all that this finishes tomorrow, June 17th.

I do find this whole thing very perplexing in contrast to the loyalty I obtain from an airline. For whatever people complain about Qantas, it strikes me that I can access a FF club lounge, get barista coffee anytime made to order and something hot to eat (sure even if it is a toasted sandwich)...

I went downstairs and asked again at the front desk. It was implemented from the 1st of this month but he did say to me they have waived the first stay since implementation (mind you that was not said to me at check in) so people at least on their 1st stay May onwards have been informed of the...

Don't know, I'd suggest you ask the local HH manager for Sydney, Kirra Alston as per the new Welcome sheet it states "A very weelcome from the H Sydney team!" "Should you have any further queries or concerns during your stay, please do not hesistate to contact me directly on 02 9265 77757 or via...

Well I seem to be a bearer of "new enhancements" when I stay at Hilton Sydney. First it was the new $5 charge for coffee. Checked-in just now and was informed that breakfast for Diamonds will be in Executive lounge only. I asked when this changed as I stayed here just last month for the Opera...

My experience and 2¢ worth of what to do is: A) if the rate between Agoda and Hilton is say less than $15 and all the same conditions "appear" to be met, book it on Hilton then immediately make a claim on the hilton price match guarantee. Recent example for Brisbane Hilton, I found a cheaper...

Something you forgot I believe is the currency base of the points. I treat HH as USD vs QFF as AUD. So translating HH to AUD gives better value. Again it does depend where you use the HH, I always use for overseas destinations, usually USD or EUR based locations. QFF is just plain vanilla AUD.

It will be interesting to see how this schedules to linking up with flights to Male (Maldives). It is still a sore point with me there is nothing direct from Australia. Ideally you need an arrival of lunchtime latest in CMB to ensure a quick transit flight to arrive mid afternoon in MLE and...

Hi all, I mainly fly Q and OW so not quite across everything in VA/SQ FF world. I should hit Plat in July with VA so that may slowly change :) A clarification for an upcoming flexi saver W booking on SQ for the 3 of us to the Maldives. Do I book the tickets logged into my SQ Kris flyer account...
