You have lots of advice already, and interesting you have the full spectrum from 'I hate LA' "Disney is boring' to those that love both. Have travelled to the US over 10 times, and spent 6 weeks there this past december. Did LA, Phoenix, Texas, NY, and Florida. One thing we realised once...

Don't mean to be negative on the advice given on this website, but alot of the previous advice appears to be from people that either haven't travelled to the US and definetly haven't travelled with kids your age. I hope you are also getting advice from tripadvisor and such other sites and not...

Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of the singapore option I will have to do some research into their frequent flyers. The points have been acrued over many years, and I cannot see there being many other better credit card options, not a fan of Qantas so I steer clear of any card linked...

Hi. We should have around 1 million altitude points which we can convert to around 6700 AirPoints, or 500,000 with Singapore, V or Malaysian. We fly mainly to the USA hence we usually fly AirNZ but wondering if the experts here can advise if we are better of converting to them to one of the...

Looks like I will ask for row 36. Now with the extra $4000 in my pocket, i am starting to look at what to spend it on !!

if anyone can advise on which seats I should request that would be a great help. we usually get 4 in the middle, and i was going to ask for as close to the front of the plane as possible. but would love to hear if there are some seats that are better than others.

Yes, I think you are right on IMPD, what you say makes sense. if it was $4000 for business then it would be worth it. Appreciate everyone's input, it really helps to discuss with people who know a bit about travel.

THanks for the replies. I understand that it is a personal thing, $4000 is a bit of money, well for me, and we would survive without it. So I am juggling the competing issues in my mind at the moment. I did save $1500 on the original booking so i am kind of swaying towards going for Premium. I...

Hi. Not sure if this is the right place for this question. But I would like to know if anyone has travelled Premium Economy on Air NZ to the USA? It will cost us (family of 4, kids 7 and 9) $1000 a piece to upgrade our flights to San Francisco to MElbourne (one way only). I am tempted to try it...

thanks for that. The united one looks interesting. The priority club also gives you all the united lounges but not the reciprical rights to Star Alliance clubs. Would the united spouse membership include children ?? It would make it alot easier if there was one that covered all Star Alliance.

Hi. Is there any way to get access to these clubs without flying Business Class? I have seen the priority club but it only has access to United in melbourne. We don't fly that regularly but with two kids, I would be happy to pay for access to the clubs while we transit or wait around the...

Hi. I would like to know if there is a club you can join like the Priority Club but that gives you access to the AirNZ or Star Alliance Clubs. We don't travel that often but with two kids I am happy to pay to get into the clubs whilst waiting around the airport. Any help appreciated.

On the question of headphone, do you need a special jack to insert or do all the headphones fit? we are flying AirNz. Thanks

So which card is best for Airpoints? With the removal of Amex as a partner of Airpoints I am wondering which card is best to earn airpoints with? I have checked around and Bankwest is 500 - 1 airport ration. Does anyone know if this is the best you can get? Thanks.

globalplus I would be interested but it is only available to NZ residents? Is that right?

WOW For me the timing is good as I was considering transferring 200,000 Amex points to either Qantas or Air NZ. Now it's a no brainer. At least with AirNZ you can pick the flight and pay with points. I think the more people that avoid QF the better. I reckon you cash your points asap before...

Does anyone know what cards give you airpoints? I know AMex are cutting ties with ANZ so wondering what card I need to get? Thanks.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has used the AMEX platinum special business class airfare deal? I just got offerred one but they don't actually tell you what the special rate is? Is there anything to justify the $900 annual fee? Thanks.

If you had 200,000 points to put into any airline which would it be? And why? The forums always point to QF but I can's see why Air NZ wouldn't be better?? Especially since you can pick when to fly. WHat do the forum experts think??

Hi, I have about 200,000 Amex points and want to know what the best use of them is? I am considering travel to the US and was thinking maybe to use some companion ticket programs or upgrades but not sure having never used points previously? Which program is the best? Thanks for all help...
