Hi, I am having trouble finding first class award flights to book at saver rates from Australia to Europe. My first preference is the new Suites class but I can’t find even the old A380 first class either at saver rates. I will know in the next day or so whether I want to travel in mid March...

Hi, I am wanting to plan a trip in the fantastic Suites Class - the new A380 fitout for my wife and I. Luckily have the points to transfer from Amex MR prior to the devaluation. The one thing I can't find is the routes that carry this new first class - I know it goes from Syd-Sin-LHR but where...

My wife and I have separate Amex cards - one is business and one personal meaning we have membership reward points separately. We are however additional cardholders on each others accounts and both have online account management. We want to end up with all the points into just one person's...

Hi, I have booked a Qantas FF award flight for my wife and I from BKK to SYD on Emirates business class and then from SYD-HBA on Qantas J, with HBA as our final destination. When we go into either Qantas or Emirates booking management it offers to book the drive only in Sydney. I contacted...

I am just looking into Star Class fares to Bali on Jetstar and wondering whether joining Club Jetstar would be worthwhile as the discount on luggage and seats won't be required. Thanks, Dale.

Hi, When they first started out websites like Wotif, lastminute, needitnow etc all only dealt with accommodation during the next 14 days max and Hotels truly put their last minute inventory up at special prices. Now these websites have just become general booking sites and don't seem to have...

I have been looking at the Qantas Frequent Flyer redemption possibilities originating out of Bali. The search facility forces me to only look 7 days into the future. Is this the case with all award tickets out of Indonesia? Does it apply to paid tickets as well? Seems crazy in this electronic...

I'm interested in going to Europe for longer than 3 months - max 6 probably but I believe on an Australian passport you can only stay for 3 months max in a 6 month period. Is this correct? Any way around it such as getting a business visa (will be working online while travelling)? Can...

Hi, I have an Amex Gold charge card which just earns one MR point per dollar. I am wondering if there is an Amex card between the current card I have and the Platinum card which has a $1200 annual fee as can't really justify that cost. Don't want to exclusively earn QFF points from the...

I want to fly both HBA-MEL-KUL-HKT and then return but the stupid using points calculator says there are no flights between KUL and HKT whereas I know both QR and MH fly the route. I just need to know if it pushes me into the next points tier or can be added for no extra points. It is saying...
