    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I'm curious about if adding a stopover on a o/w award will lead to the new rates as well. Waitlisted a few flights for this October from SIN-JFK but none confirmed so decided to just book JFK-AKL. Debating if I want to stopover in SIN for a few nights before continuing onto AKL. Not 100% about...

    Technically, you're allowed a stopover in HNL if that's your N. American gateway city.

    Lounge access after flight

    Yup, same-day UA-UA connections will give you lounge access. Keep in mind that regional jets depart from Terminal A, not C, which is where all of the mainline UA flights go to.

    A couple of questions from an AAdvantage newbie

    Re: Couple of AAdvantage questions from a newbie to it Usually a few weeks to a month. Might be a bit longer for you since you're in OZ. If you need the card in the meantime for lounge access then just install the AAdvantage app onto your phone. It will display a picture of your AAdvantage...

    Could you get a supplementary card if a relative in the US had FF earning credit card

    Re: Could you get a supplementary card if a relative in the US had FF earning credit Correct. Most companies require the secondary cardholder's SS# so that they can do a background check before approving and issuing the card. I just went through this process with AMEX after adding an add'tl...

    US Dividend Miles - post your SUCCESSFUL award bookings here.

    Award space during that timeframe has been limited for quite sometime. It's only going to get worse if you're to keep waiting. It's best to book an itinerary that you're okay with then make any changes closer to the departure date. Just keep in mind that you can't make any changes to the...

Lemongrass @ Aria - Good Thai food and nice vibe. 3. Buffet @ Aria - One of my favorite buffets on the Strip. 4. Wicked Spoon Buffet @ Cosmopolitan -...

    Which group do ground staff prefer?

    Never worked in the airline industry but when I worked in the hotel industry, I noticed that guests with a status were more rude, especially when they weren't given an upgrade or two connecting rooms (if requested). The "smarter" travelers or guests will be nice and courteous to the FD agents...

    1 day to spend in any city in the USA - Which city and why?

    LAS - The Strip isn't too far from the airport and you have plenty of entertainment and dining options within one area. SEA - We have a light rail between the airport and the downtown area.

    This is really neat! Dumb question but is there something similar to this in the States?

    East Coast USA trip

    The upside with BWI is that Amtrak serves BWI Airport, like they do with EWR airport. DCA and IAD are pretty far away from Washington Union Station, especially if you add in the time it takes during rush hour.

    Australia/New Zealand Itinerary?

    Sorry about that! I'm in my mid-20's but will be traveling with my mom. Our interests are food (nothing fancy though), beautiful scenery, and light outdoor activities. Is Central Australia worth seeing? I don't hear much about that area versus Northern Australia, specifically Cairns and the...

    Opinions of Southwest?

    Southwest doesn't offer the lowest fares anymore. People still believe they do, but even their CEO admitted that they don't due to the higher fuel costs. Personally, I'm not a fan of WN since they always attract the families, who can be a real PITA to deal with when traveling. If you plan on...

    East Coast USA trip

    To be honest, it doesn't matter which city you start from but if I were you, I'd start the trip from Washington DC and work my way up. I definitely recommend taking Amtrak instead of driving since the traffic and tolls get ridiculous after awhile. The train fares are rather affordable...
