There seem to be a few old threads, but nothing recent, so wanted to check if people had any recent experiences. I parked my car in at the Valet run by Melbourne Airport - or TechGuard Security on behalf of Melbourne Airport. When I picked it up three days later, there was some damage done to...

I wanted to bump an old thread, but they were all closed... I have a question in regards to MH flights and QF Status Credits. I booked MEL - SIN - KUL return through Qantas in December last year, with the SIN - KUL flights on MH. Economy across all sectors. QF have advised that the MH flights...

Has anyone else recieved notification of an aircraft swap due to the new agreement with American Airlines? I'm booked to travel from LAX to SYD on QF12 in April next year (note the date of my flight is waaaaaay different to whats referenced in the email they sent) and have just been notified...

Received something in the mail today from Hilton...just a (rather cheaply) printed card outlining my Diamond privileges for this year, and also an exclusive offer of 100,000 bonus points as a token of Hilton's appreciation. Never received anything like this before from Hilton...

Does any one have any experience flying MH as a QF WP and can comment on your treatment? Obviously not expecting an upgrade, a, because I have status with Qantas and b, travelling with my PS colleague, but wondered if there was any real difference to flying with the Red Roo. MH is a bit cheaper...

Has anyone seen this video yet? The 'good bit' starts at about 3:15 http://youtu.be/gI4jWYZLeHQ As a film maker, I really appreciate the stunning visuals in this piece, the fact that it's about one of my other loves is a bonus! Soundtrack is a bit OTT, but it's a beautiful video. I wonder...

Hi All, I know there are several topics on Hong Kong Hotels already, but I was hoping you all might have a few gems up your sleeves. I'm in HKG October 12-16 for a trade fair and I normally stay at the Conrad (due to HH status), however my loyalty doesn't extend to HKD$5000 per night. I assume...

Inspired by one of my favourite threads 'How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?', I thought it might be useful to explore what Hertz does for it's Gold Members, as in my experience it can vary wildly! Suggested Format: Status: (None/Five Star/Presidents Circle) Date: Location: Car Booked: Rate...

Trip Report A ‘conference’ in Las Vegas, and a few days in NYC. My first trip report, so please go easy on me. I’m going to try and make this a running trip report. This trip had a rather stressful start. First Legs, the original itinerary, all booked seperately: 5 April, MEL – AKL in J...

I'm wondering if anyone had any advice/past experiences on picking up pre-paid mobile broadband/hotspot devices while in the US. I was looking at the AT&T option but it seems expensive as one would have to buy the device ($200 USD) then a pre-paid sim ($50 USD for 5GB seems the cheapest). I...

Here's something I haven't come across yet during my time as a Hilton HHonors member - when booking a hotel for day use aka not an overnight rate, does that count as a 'stay' for elite qualification. Background: Getting in at 9am from JFK and not flying out on QF93 til 1130pm or whenever it is...

Hi all, looking for a great restaurant to wine and dine someone tonight in Brisbane CBD. Aria yay or ney? Doesn't necessarily need to be fine dining, just great food! Probably after modern Australian or Italian. Definitely no Chinese... Thoughts?

Geez I wish I could get these govt rates!

Hi all, It's been a few years since I've been through LAX and I have a question about a domestic connection on AA. I'm arriving into LAX from NAN on FJ at 1325 and am wanting to book a flight to LAS, the 1435 is probably not going to work :p so is the 1655 flight going to give me enough time...

My first time to LAS and was hoping to get some advice from those who have gone before me! I'm attending a conference in April and wanted a Hilton Worldwide property relatively close to the Convention Centre. Ideally I want something close, but I also don't want to pay the USD$300 a night the...

I signed up a little quite a while ago after reaching the stalking limit and not being able to view any more posts! I figured it was high time I start to become a little more active in the discussions - it's a great resource and I'd like to contribute. I'm a HH Diamond and would like to be...
