I tried calling twice - said no both times. Let me know how you get on….

I’m NZ based with a Platinum Edge card. Annual fee due mid December. Called to seek a retention bonus highlighting the devaluation of some benefits as one of the reasons I may not continue with the card. I spend about $7k a month. Operator said Amex does not give retention bonuses any more -...

Thanks - just what I was hoping!!

We are transiting through HK on our way to Auckland on Cathay. We have 14hrs in HK. We are flying J inbound to HK and outbound. We’d like to freshen up on arrival in HK before heading into the city to explore. Could we go through transit security so that we can enter a lounge to shower and...

For the main I chose the roasted Marlborough salmon with charred leeks and potatoes. It was delicious and the salmon melted in my mouth. Washed down with a nice NZ Pinot noir. The meal finished off with a delicious honey tart and cheese and crackers.

We are spending a week at the Hilton in Denerau to escape the NZ winter. We booked our flights in January. At the time economy fares were about $850 each way but surprisingly business class was only $650. We snapped them up and smiled a few days later when the same business class fares jumped...

I got that in New Zealand as well.

NZ catering is certainly improving!!

I'm heading to London at the end of the year and have bought us 3 x Visitor Oyster cards to use.

I’m based in NZ. I want to visit my brother who lives in Canberra. I’m planning on flying J. On the way home I’d like to fly CBA-SYD-AKL. When I try and book a J ticket Qantas tells me the CBA-SYD flight will be in economy because the plane is a Q400. That’s fine but as I’m on a J ticket will I...

Well this is the reply I received when I contacted American Airlines……☹️ Hello Mr. Davieland Going by the information you have given us you would not be able to access the club. Fiji Airways is not a oneworld partner. If you have an American Airlines sic letter record locator we can verify...

I have 3 x QF reward flights from NAN to LAX in J on FJ. We will have onward paid economy flights to Las Vegas. Am I right in thinking that if the onward flight to Las Vegas is on a One World airline we will have lounge access in LAX - even though FJ is only a One World Connect member?

Currently an A350.

No more bonus miles being handed out. Just tried.

I have 3 x J seats booked (with QF points) on the BA Las Vegas - London flight in December this year. Currently a Club Suites plane. Hope it doesn’t change.
