    12 Must See Countries

    Ive read about this guy before. I'm not sure I really agree that stepping foot into a country for an hour counts as "visiting" but anyway...been to all apart from Sierra Leone and Kiribati, and not sure I really enjoyed his list as much as he did. But I do love Uruguay, and Romania is beautiful...

    Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

    re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion Im almost certain they would cancel one leg. I've managed to get points refunded for an unflown segment after the date of travel before. I think its a case of finding the right agent. Don't email, call the US based number during US business...

    Alitalia Status Match

    i think its just bad wording on the site. You get lounge access across the entire Skyteam network, not just while flying Alitalia.

    Le Meridian Picadilly or Conrad

    Not a fan at all. Would look elsewhere if budget permits. Its in a great location true, but the rooms are tired and there are much better options in London.

    Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

    re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion Ring the call centre. They will do it all in one go. The change fee is more than the cancel fee, but its worth it for peace of mind.

    First "Lifemiles" booking

    I suggest very very strongly not to book return flights. Just book two separate one ways. That way you can cancel the return and rebook at any time. Once you take the first flight, it can be a pain to change the second if it's on the same ticket.

    Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

    re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Just wait until the seat is released back. Takes about an hour normally. Otherwise call the Lifemiles dept in the call centre and quote your LM number. They can see all the bookings you have made and can retrieve the reference number for you, even...

    What the best seat(s) to choose in First class on A380?

    You can always get TG J one stop to OSL via BKK cheap on Lifemiles ;) And the BKK - OSL leg is on the new 777 which has lie flat J seats. My wife takes that flight to see her family 4-5 times a year.

    SYD to SIN in 1st on BA16

    Definitely middle seats and row 2 or 3 best imo. As to PJ's they are meant to have them, but I've encountered a lack of sizes on several SYD - SIN legs in the past, so it's not 100% guaranteed you will get them.

    TG lounge SYD

    Tbh, I find the SQ lounge staff to be a mixed bunch but have never been denied entry on a TG F flight. Although most times there is no food or limited food as the SQ afternoon flight leaves earlier than the TG one.

    A girly topic for you blokes! Which wallet?

    I have a Ferragamo wallet with a money clip in the middle. It's a perfect travel wallet with room for 6-8 cards and cash in the clip.

    Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

    re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Just a tip on the TG F cabin. The further forward you go on the refurbed 747, the hotter and less air circulation you get. So row 1 can get unbearable sometimes and row 2 is stuffy as well. I would select 3A and if not available, 2A as a single...

    Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion

    re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Insist at the SQ lounge desk. And make sure you head right for the SQ F lounge when they eventually let you in. If you are on the 3.40pm TG flight then bear in mind that SQ 222 leaves around that time so they don't have food available in SQ lounge...

    Suggestions.. Macau

    City of Dreams is good for families. Either crown towers or grand Hyatt are good choices. Both have adjoining rooms and family options.

    re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Just call Avianca call centre and make sure you get though to the Lifemiles department. Quote your membership number and they will be able to pull up all your booking reference numbers associated with your account. That has happened to me a few...

    Malaysian Airlines MH17 Crashes in Ukraine

    I think people are getting too caught up in the minutiae and not stepping back and looking at the big picture. The only fact we can verify with complete certainty is that a plane was shot down and 298 people died. The rest is open for debate until the true facts are confirmed. Something which...
