I was looking at a 5-sector multi destination trip recently. It was a long return trip with a 2 open jaws, some week-long stopovers, and about 8 flights over 3 continents... ...Except when I look at the itinerary, it gets ticketed as 2 fares! (wtf!) My tech question is: When does an itinerary...

I thought this would be a handy resource for cruisers: Cruise Sheet - Hot cruise deals from Sydney, Australia It sorts cruises by price per day. Prices seem to be in USD though.

I recently did a few flights on Alitalia - and a little more European travel coming up. It seems a shame to see the points/miles/status credits/whatever go to waste - though I don't expect I'll earn enough to make it worthwhile in the short term. (Just banking points, and possibly earning Elite...

Is a 3 hour transit with a change of carrier doable in CMB? Im flying in from KUL, then back to Australia via SIN on a cheap J with a QF flight number. I'd prefer to spend as little time in CMB, and my choices are either to spend 15 hours there, spend 3 hours in CMB, or fly on a different...

I like to travel with one bag wherever possible, but the old backpack isn't cutting it right now. So I want to know what carry-on luggage AFFers use - and what features make it a part of your kit. My rig: For day trips, I'm carrying a Mandarina Duck MINI laptop briefcase. It's simple...

I'm dropping by MNL on an upcoming trip, and bringing together 3x managers for a meeting for 1 day. Having done the ridiculously expensive meeting room option, and the "let's just meet in the hotel restaurant" option, I'm now giving the "get a big suite and meet around the table" option a shot...

Not sure if it's news, but I noticed today that the booking system is now including WP/SG baggage allowances. (I booked a "Saver Lite" with the SO (NR) + me (SG). I got 1x23kgs, she got nothing.) Looks like it's no longer applied at the baggage counters, and the early issues with Sabre are...

lobo76 (the ideas man) suggested creating a sticky with all the details on the spreadsheet What Is The Spreadsheet? The AFF Status Run spreadsheet lists great fares found by members within the AFF community. This lets us refer to fares by "fare codes" (e.g. "A57", "B39", etc), and communicate...

SG's and WP's: Knowing what you know now about the benefits/service/price - which complimentary partner memberships would you choose today? HHonors or IHG? Europcar or Hertz? Or are they just as bad/good as each other?

I went NR->PS on Wednesday, PS->SG on Thursday (yaay)... ...Then realised the address I have in the Velocity system was out of date :shock: How long does it take for cards to be sent? (Am I going to need to visit the house I left 2 years ago, or call the SG line, to sort this out?) I've...

Booking TT trip on VA. Flight is serviced by a 73H with Premium Econ (W). Is it the old Virgin Blue PE with Y seats except a tray sits in rows 1+2, seats B and E? Or is it something more substantial (like PE on flights to LAX)? Do they reserve the front lav for PE (like they do for 73H's...

Looking at APEC cards to speed up queues in USA, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines (particularly the Philippines after spending nearly 2 hours waiting in line exiting last time). Do they speed up departure? Or just arrival? Has anyone used them at MNL (terminal 1)?

Hertz: Upgrading Mystery Cars Booked a last-minute mystery car at Sydney airport recently for $25 per day. Saw they had a few of the "Fun" and "Luxury" cars out the front. When they told me I could pick any car, I asked if I could pick one of them. They upgraded me for an extra $25 per day...

I recently realized how status worked, and discovered I should be platinum. (Things I was screwing up: HUGE airline hopping, not realizing I could claim international partner SCs, poor uses of points, saving a few bucks and picking discount over Flexi when the difference was next to nothing...
