Any recommendations for a provider that does not exclude terrorism for medical claims?

In the early 1980's Qantas started a campaign that was probably the forerunner to the loyalty programs we know today. They invited people to sign up to Qantas "Connections" for which, from memory, you got sent (by post of course) marketing material including quarterly travel magazines. Early...

KF Gurus: I am flying SQ MEL-SIN-CPH in J next month. I requalify for VA WP with the MEL-SIN flight, and I would like to credit the SIN-CPH flight to KF. Am I able to change the FF program and number on my booking whilst in transit in SIN? Has anyone done this successfully and had the points...

I'm arriving at JNB with South African in J before transferring to a SA J domestic flight. Arriving at the international terminal at 5am, I have access to the SA Arrivals Lounge. The domestic flight leaves at 7am from the domestic terminal, where I have access to the VIA Platinum Lounge...

I just noticed in a Velocity email that as of Monday departing LAX, WP and J pax use the EY lounge and SG pax use the *A lounge. Lucky says the EY lounge is the best at LAX and the only one with an a la carte option. Sounds good to me. ☺

I'm looking at another Cunard cruise. With the AUD so strong against the GBP I'm wondering if anyone has used a reputable cruise booking agent based in the UK? It would be interesting to see if the cruise price purchased in GBP would convert to a better price than that currently offered on the...

Has anyone booked a Luxury Escapes package deal (the ones advertised in the Fairfax papers' Traveller)? Are they dependable?

I'm undertaking the annual pilgrimage to Edinburgh to see the family, and as usual combining a holiday in the Northern summer. This time, my partner and I are crossing the Atlantic on the QM2, then having some time in New York. I've written on earlier trip reports about the J experience on...

I noticed on my June statement that the addition of the opening balance and points earned did not equal the closing balance. I notified Citibank of this and was advised: "Please be advised that Citibank Rewards has recently transitioned to new system platform which may have caused the...

Any recommendations for hotels in both SIN and HKG for AUD200 per night? I'm currently looking at Ovolo Noho in HKG and Furama city centre or Carlton in SIN? Any thoughts? Thanks all.

This trip is taking me to Edinburgh to catch up with family and then an 11 night Holland America cruise, mostly around Greece. The long haul flights are with EY in J, and I have some local flights with VA, BA, BE and VY, the last two being Flybe and Vueling (to save you looking it up!) My...

I am flying LST/MEL/MAN in J on one VA ticket. LST/MEL is VA but MEL/MAN is EY metal. In MAN I am transferring to FlyBe (BE) to EDI, on a separate ticket. EY interlines with BE but VA does not. On the assumption that VA in LST will only check my luggage through to MAN and not EDI, I would...

I’m a VA WP on a trip to HKG, SIN and the USA, flying with VA, VS, SQ and DL so thought it might be interesting to compare the various products. I’m also flying a mix of Y and J, mostly cash fares but one redemption. Flight 1: VA1531 HBA-SYD, whY Standard good flight with VA. Excellent...

My story supports a number of threads on different subjects but all relating to how far QF has fallen. My partner and I flew QF J for the first time in a fair while to BKK recently. Over the past few years I and we have flown international J in NZ (outstanding), BA, AY and JL as well as QF...

I usually get row 3 and while I love the leg room, sometimes on a short flight (usually HBA-MEL and return) I'd love to watch some news or sport. On the older 737s this is available with live2air but not, of course, in row 3. So if I know it was going to be available I might select row 4...

We've recently noticed for the first time a plane flying high over southern Tasmania, both east-west and west-east, late in the day. It is not using HBA. We speculate that it could be a PER or ADL to the south island of NZ. Does anyone know what it is and its route?

I am considering flying J AKL-SFO on NZ then F SFO-PHL on UA. I have no *A status (I am DJ WP). Do I get entry to the United arrivals lounge at SFO?
