Was looking to finally return to China and visit relatives there and notice on some days there are 3 business class seats available to book on QF and sometimes on CA metal. $110 surcharge each way per person plus normal government tax so 170k points + $400 cash gets you there and back. Anyway...

I just got an email from SQ that I have been upgraded to Gold, except i didnt take any *A flight nor credited any flight to Krisflyer. Probably a system glitch.

I want to post this just so people is aware of the chaos I experienced last night at PVG on QF 130. There was no sign for economy boarding so everyone was lined up behind the business/OWS/OWE line. Needless to sign I got directed to the end of the line as a WP on J. To make the matter worse...

I am trying to book a flight from Sydney to Melbourne and came across this flight - JQ 62 leaving Sydney (Jetstar doesn't say which terminal) to Melbourne International. This flight looks bugged to me because JQ 62 is advertised as a Ho Chin Minh to Sydney (and does not continue to Melbourne)...

So I was travelling on QF last Monday and the Business Class lounge was full and overflowing into the area below the F lounge escalator. The access to the F lounge was roped off by two barricade but you can just walk between them. I simply walked between the barricade and took the escalator up...

Long story short, I got boxed in by a car behind me who is 2/3 inside a 1P zone and 1/3 in a no stopping zone. Upon nudging my way out, I accidentally reversed into that car with no visible damage and about 2mm indent on the bumper bar. My car has a thin line of scrapped paint only visible if...

Not sure if this is the right place for the question. I am flying Virgin from Sydney to Auckland on economy and holds Singapore Gold. Will I get to use the priority line when I check in and will I be entitled to access any lounge. Likewise, on the flight back, will I get priority check in and...

Just got an email today stating that from 31 March next year the VISA debit card will be replaced with Mastercard debit card when it expires. Maybe a sign of changes coming up for credit card as well.

I was redeeming my free flight reserve today and the guy on the phone told me that there will be mandatory conversion of the free flight/night to a $400 travel credit from a set date. However, Amex will give people notice (which they are in the process of preparing) so if your anniversary falls...
