I find both priceline.com and hotwire.com to be great for getting low rates, especially in North America. You can often deduce which hotel you will get before purchasing using the 'blind' purchase options.

I am assuming (hoping) that this is just an oversight. I am in F on QF9 in a bit over a week and will be surprised and a bit upset if they don't have the F lounge open for it.

How much was the uber car to JFK?

Jamie Oliver emerging from the F Cabin on arrival in Heathrow. We crossed paths as he had obviously taken his time leaving seeing as I was half way back in Economy :(

Hi All, I have been browsing through the status run threads but appears that they are almost all relating to runs starting at SYD. I need 180 credits prior to 31 December to hit Gold. I may have work related travel in December to get part of the way there but don't want to chance it...

HI all, Wondering if anyone has experience with this. I have taken the plunge and booked an international trip on Jetstar MEL-> CNS -> NRT on September 1st returning a week later due to the 2 for 1 special they have a few months back. My question is whether it is possible to ring Jetstar and...

The travelodge can often be found for a very good price and is a pretty good hotel

I have been to TJ a couple of times staying overnight and would make the suggestion that it would be fine to visit even with a drug war ongoing if you stick to the very touristy area immediately after you cross the border. You will find cheap beer and food, some market stalls selling all sorts...

As a year in, year out PS I find it interesting that I was a member last time around but have not been invited back... I even got that lovely bottle of olive oil last time so assume my feedback was appreciated......

To add my recent experience to this. Last Sunday (3 Jan 2010) I travelled MEL-BNE connecting through SYD. This was the day that the Qantas system had a global meltdown and no baggage systems were functioning according to QF staff. To cut a long story short, after waiting 2 hours in BNE for bags...

I have purchased these a few times and always correctly worked out the hotel prior to purchase. The last one was the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne several months ago which saved about $50 a night. IMHO well worth it.

A couple of years back on a stopover from LAX to MEL had the AKL QP all to myself for some much craved vegemite toast for breakfast

I flew it in Y in November 08 LAX-MEL and will be doing so again in 2 weeks SYD-LAX. I went out of my way to book onto the 380 over the 744 as i thought it was much more confortable and i actually managed to get 5 hours sleep which is unheard of for me in Y on a 744. Oh yeah and the flight was...

Just a reminder that if it is a minor crime it may not be grounds for refusal as it may not be a crime of moral turpitude. There is not a blanket refusal for any criminal conviction. See here for more details https://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86942.pdf

What are peoples opinions on the future? will it continue to go up?

up untill recently i worked for a specialist software firm in consulting/project management. now i have moved to a management position at a former client in the logistics sector. Unfortunately so far this means i have not set foot on an aircraft in 4 months. :( hopefully things will turn around...

stay in Vegas longer. in my experience US$150 can get you a room at Bellagio for a night if you get the right discount code.

That is correct an well know. Citibank block all forms of gambling. This is a common problem. They also seem to actively monitor for new sites.

something i just noticed as i was searching for fares from MEL-SIN on this special. First time i forgot to make it for 2 adults and the fare came up at $6200 for one all in. Then searching for two it came up to $5076 for two all in. Therefore a single traveler actually can benefit from this...
