You can definitely get a tourist visa without an invite letter or business requirement. You just need to supply copies of your air tickets and hotel bookings etc. If you book refundable hotels it is easy to cancel once visa is granted and then travel more independently. There is a requirement...

I have CI J bookings from YVR to TPE made with QFF points. We arrive by cruise ship in the morning and the flight is scheduled for 0200 the following morning. I am trying to plan our day but I am not familiar with YVR airport. There are no other CI flights each day. Would anyone familiar...

Thanks to a heads up from a few of the posters on here....... I called today and cancelled Mrs Woodyren's sup card. Within 5 minutes of cancelling the card I reapplied for a new sup card for her. I used the link provided by exceladdict as I have not received an offer personally. Card...

Amex Qantas Ultimate. Approx. 100K annual spend. Annual fee just deducted. Called and asked to be put through to the cancellations team. Phone agent (Aussie call centre) stated "I am the cancellation team". Agent asked why I was cancelling the card and I said I wanted to take advantage of...

I would love to accept the voucher if it's still in offer. Have been a member here for quite a few years and contributed to a number of threads and trip reports.

Were you put through to the retention team or did you request to be put through to them?

I nearly always book refundable rooms with one of the big aggregators. I book a long way ahead and go through Cashrewards or Shop back when they have a promo of >10% cashback.

Yes. You will require a free 144 hour transit visa. You obtain it on arrival at Pudong.

Currently on Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas. We had to turn around on day 2 and head back to Sydney due to a medical emergency. This caused us to miss sailing through the sounds which is a highlight for many. We also skipped Dunedin as a result. High winds then prevented us from docking...

It's also quite obvious that there is a large discrepancy between the travel budget of many who have contributed to this thread and ours. The smaller five star ships are way outside my budget. Sure I would love to experience some of the suggested travel on here. But I also have to admit that...

As a person with well over 50 cruises on mass market lines I would also not recommend it s a way to visit places and see them at their best. For us though who both travel on a budget and enjoy land travel at a more leisurely pace Royal Caribbean in particular offer us great value. Just like...

Lol. Are you angling for a reporters job?

I have slept a few times on the sofas in the Silverkris lounge in Singapore. The staff there even provide blankets and pillows. The lounge is quite empty from around 1 am until early morning.

Leaving Brisbane early April. Cruise to French Polynesia, Hawaii then on to Vancouver. QFF ward J flights on China Airlines from Vancouver - Taipei - Seoul. 5 nights in each. Then a short hop to Nth China. Trips to be planned from Nth China to Chengdu and Kunming. Train from Kunming into Laos...

Just booked two J rewards on CI PEK-TPE-SYD next August with QFF this afternoon. Ticketed and points taken immediately with no issues. Can see the flights on both CI and Qantas online and app.

Always the train for me if I can work it into my itinerary. Just heading off to catch the train along the recently completed Shenyang to Beijing high speed line. Will reduce the time for the almost 700klm journey down to under 3 hours compared to the 5 hours on the previous high speed line.

Hotpot. Nth China.

That's the difficulty with the new multiple entry visas. You may enter and leave each time through different places yet the application allows you to list only two. The information we received on some recent cruises specifically said that we had to get the entry exit ports correct. This was...

Hunan cuisine at an excellent restaurant in Shenyang.
