Nothing grinds my gears more in the world of travel than hotel greenwashing. Specifically, it does my head in when housekeeping unnecessarily changes linen, both bath and bed. My stays are predominantly at Hyatt hotels. For as long as I can remember, there’s been a nice, feelgood A5 card next...

I find it amusing that a site like AFF that purports to play in the big leagues can't spell "oneworld" correctly. Perhaps it could be changed. It might add a little credibility.

I've just realised I have three Maple Leaf lounge passes that are expiring at 31 December 2023. If anyone wants one, two or all three, please let me know. Note the conditions shown in the attached.

Who uses luggage trackers and which ones do you use? Years ago, I used LugLoc with mixed results. I purchased the newer version 18 months ago, but the cost of sim subscription was far too high so I returned it. AirTags seem to be very popular but I don't have an iPhone, just an old iPad (which...

In August 2016 (Mega Giveaway), February 2018 (Mega Giveaway II) and January (2019) (Mega Giveaway III) I made available to AFF members surplus airline items that I’ve collected. It’s been a long time between drinks, but it’s finally time for round IV. This time there are 54 items, 48 of which...

The Qantas range of six centenary amenity kits seem to be available on most international J flights. I have three unopened "The lounges" kits from the 2000s that I'm keen to swap for other unopened kits of the other five designs. I also have a further three opened kits with partial contents...

(Just for clarity, I didn't start this thread.) In applying for an ESTA, a family member who is an Australian citizen and travelling on an Australian passport received an email from US CBP stating, "An I-94 is required for all ESTA approved applicants visiting or transiting the U.S. Travelers...

I have four free Hyatt Club access awards to give away. Each is valid for a single reservation of up to seven nights. At this point, I'd like to make the four awards available to four separate members but experience tells me there's unlikely to be a lot of interest so that may change. Here are...

I have a one-way ticket for the Melbourne SkyBus that's expiring on 1 July. I can post it from Sydney but it also has a QR code so I would like I could just send the recipient a photo of it and that would be enough. Open to all.

I recently got a Citi credit card of some description and noticed this thing called Citi PayAll. https://www1.citibank.com.au/offers-benefits/PayAll I'm waiting for the catch but so far it all seems like a potential option for manufacturing points, despite the following exclusion: I'm...

The T&Cs of the pilot gold offer state "You can maintain Gold Status for a further 12 months ..." (emphasis added). This means that if you time it right, you could actually get 15 months of gold. However, I doubt that actually happens in practice and that you simply get the remainder of that 12...

One Mile at a Time had an article over the weekend discussing a Virgin Atlantic status match. https://onemileatatime.com/deals/virgin-atlantic-flying-club-status-match/ The article says the match is limited to American Airlines, British Airways, Emirates, United, South African, Cathay and...

Alaska awards aren't showing correctly on the QF site. In the many searches I've undertaken in the past few days, when AS availability in a premium cabin does show, it comes with "!". For example, this flight from PDX to DAL, a direct flight on AS at 1616 miles shows availability in F but 'Your...

I have one American Airlines systemwide upgrade to give away. It's been that long since I used one that I sadly can't really remember the ins and outs of the benefit. From what I remember, though, one SWU is good for a one cabin upgrade on up to four AA-marketed and operated flight segments in...

My brother-in-law sued Emirates in an Australian court this week over the fare Emirates sold back in February from Penang (see this FlyerTalk thread for the deets). He's alleging breach of contact after EK cancelled the itinerary he bought through Expedia on 11 February, two days after he...

This is concerning. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/qantas-ends-wallabies-sponsorship-cuts-off-cash-to-cricket-and-soccer-20200923-p55ybh.html

I have two free Hyatt Club access awards to give away. Each is valid for a single reservation of up to seven nights. At this point, I'd like to make the two awards available to two separate members. Here are the terms from the Hyatt website: Club Access Award is valid through the end of the...

As posted on FlyerTalk, Eva Air has scattered availability for Brisbane to Amsterdam return in J in December for under $1300. The fare is bookable on Expedia (among others) and has a paltry $70 cancellation fee...

As part of a service recovery for a baggage irregularity, I've been offered 5K Enrich miles. I'm not a member of Enrich, however and really see no need to join the program. Malaysia has confirmed that I can gift the miles to someone so if you are an Enrich member and would like the miles, please...

I have a General Qantas lounge pass with a 19 February expiry available for an AFF member who has been a member for at lest 90 days and has at least 30 posts. Please post here if you would like it. A General pass can be used at any Qantas Club domestic lounge, Qantas International Lounge or...
