    Stays showing up as cancelled.

    Hi all, Just logged into my IHG account and noticed my booking for this weekend at IC Double Bay has been cancelled. Called the hotel and they've said the reservation is still active, but understandably a little concerned. Anyone else had this? :confused:

    New HH Card Design

    Obviously I'm rather easily entertained, but I just noticed that HHonors have changed the design of the status cards. I like them! The different tiers have images of famous attractions, although I've got to be honest, I think silver is the nicest... You can download your personalised copy of...

    American Airlines to New Zealand

    Looks like the long rumoured route is as good as announced... Spotted on Instagram today. :rolleyes: Would be interested to see if this were for AKL-LAX or DFW... Certainly going to be interesting to see whether Air NZ, United and American can all survive the NZ routes.

    Double stay credits until December 31

    Just received this email: I assume it is targeted and may have something to do with the fact I've not had as many stays in the last 6 months as usual, I ran the risk of losing gold for next year but won't let it slip now. Anybody else get the email?

    Air NZ stops paid one time access?

    Managed to spot this on twitter this morning, and it seems Air NZ has stopped the Ad-Hoc paid access to lounges... Sounds like a good move to me to stop the common over crowding in some ports... No doubt will disappoint a few savvy fliers though. Not surprised to see this however, considering...

    "Why are seats unavailable when check in just opened"

    Quite possibly the most silly travel article I've read... Airline seat selection: Why are seats unavailable when check-in just opened? "WHEN I TRY TO DO AN ONLINE CHECK-IN FOR MY NEXT FLIGHT, WHY ARE SO MANY SEATS MARKED "UNAVAILABLE" EVEN WHEN I LOG ON AS SOON AS ONLINE CHECK-IN OPENS...

    Which room location to pick at Hilton AKL (OLCI)

    I've been trying to find an old Hilton AKL thread but they all seem to be closed, so sorry for another :shock: I'm doing OLCI for a 3 night stay tomorrow, and have two options on the 6th floor... One room looks much larger with a bigger window (602) so was going to pick this, but not knowing...
