oof, I've got a reward trip to DFW coming up this weekend... if only my trip were a few days later and not already booked!

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I bought it purely out of curiosity, assuming it was a cough deal, so that I could write about it here. I haven't yet found the time to write it up comprehensively. If you don't like cruises or $10k per person package tours, you'll find fairly minimal value...

So I've just signed up for Accor Plus. Was curious about the complete and utter lack of information about the Accor Plus Discovery additional benefits beyond a vague thing about having "$500 Discovery Dollars", and it seems that very few people who have written about Accor Plus online have said...

Just got the following email. A shame, it was a very cheap Priority Pass membership!

I assume it's because Bain already took a big loss in taking on FFCs rather than simply treating customers as any other unsecured creditor, and by the magic of corporate insolvency they're certainly not legally obliged to be flexible... but that's a problem for VA, not for me. Anyway, now to...

Damn, you had me excited for a moment. Executive Traveller is reporting that this doesn't include FFCs: Virgin Australia extends travel credit expiry to mid-2025 (I have $1,500 in FFCs left over from a cancelled trip to XCH/CCK...)

Confirming that we do in fact get passes for the KAL lounge. This is the first time I've ever gotten a Qantas-issued pass for a different non-Oneworld airline lounge, I think!

I'll be able to confirm tomorrow night!

Got a points upgrade to J on QF88 (QF metal) from ICN-SYD. Anyone know whether QF has managed to sort out a lounge access agreement, given there's (afaict) no Oneworld presence at ICN? The Qantas website doesn't indicate anything, and I'm not sure whether that's because there's no lounge access...

I have never had such issues, it's always appeared on my Frequent Flyer activity statement just fine.

When I used my Diners to get into the Rex lounge in MEL yesterday, I noticed that it quickly showed up in the usage history on my Priority Pass online account, which suggests that they are indeed processing Diners cards through the same Priority Pass terminal software etc. Unfortunately I...

I have gotten in to lounges just fine by swiping the card before - my interest is specifically in a) restaurant credits and b) any lounges that may have been part of Priority Pass but not the previous Diners Club lounge scheme Honestly, mostly the restaurant credits - if that works, that's a...

Does anyone know whether Australian Diners Club personal cards are eligible for the Priority Pass lounges + restaurant credits that the Diners Club International lounge access website now lists? I tried signing up for a Priority Pass account, it's given me a membership number, and seems to...

Got my reply from Qantas approving my exemption - took 26 hours, 44 minutes, with the paperwork submitted 5 days before the flight.

It'll be a 2+ hour trip each way, but I may be overly excited by the idea of going, alone as an adult, to Legoland...

Okay, that's only marginally more fancy than the ACT Health certificates - I would not have assumed that counts as "signed". I will actually be doing exactly that for a day trip to JB - but I was originally planning to fly to KL so I had to look up the rules for flying. Re public transport -...

Note that there are some countries (Malaysia is the one I'm aware of - of course they're not a QF destination) where past-positive travellers are still required to pass a RAT - the benefit of the past positive clearance in that case is that you'll be allowed to do a RAT rather than a PCR. Not...

Thanks for this thread - I'm heading to Singapore on Monday! (JQ on the MEL-SIN segment, first time I've ever flown JQ long-haul, wish me luck...) Annoyed that I had to go pay a GP to get this certificate, but on the other hand the doctor also reminded me that my typhoid and tetanus shots...

I've just booked my first flights in 2022 - back to Canberra after visiting the family for Christmas! Yet to plan anything international though, my long service leave is coming up mid-year though, so I'll be able to take a decent break! Got to get myself to Malaysia (and probably Singapore...

Apologies for missing it - I saw the initial post about it but neglected to RSVP, and in the event I've been sick all week anyway. See you next time!
