    Strategies to get 4x BNE->LAX/SFO US J award flights?

    If it was just me and my wife I would, but we have a 2 and 5 year old. I think going via SIN would probably double the travel time, so we need to stick to direct

    Strategies to get 4x BNE->LAX/SFO US J award flights?

    Ahh I didn’t realise you couldn’t do J upgrades on partners. Makes sense. Looks like it’ll be Y!

    Strategies to get 4x BNE->LAX/SFO US J award flights?

    I’m trying to plan a trip to the US for a family of 4, departing from Brisbane and ending up in California (either LAX or SFO) Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to secure J upgrades? I know typically VA drip feed upgrades throughout the year 1 or 2 at a time, so I dont think I...

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    What kids activities were there? Was there an age suggestion? (Just trying to gauge if my 3 and 6 yr old would like it, or if it’s for older kids)

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Any opinions on Melbourne Movenpick on Spencer vs Pullman on swanston (now Pullman city centre) I’ve stayed at the Pullman and it was fine. Good lounge, fantastic gym. But just wondering if the Movenpick rooms or view would outweigh the lounge/gym? Any concerns about train noise? I know the...

    List of Accor Australia Properties with a Gym/Peloton

    I am also keen on gyms. I have a full power rack at home which lets me do squats / bench press safely, and always look for one in gyms I stay at (as I don't have a gym membership). Most hotels don't - their fitness centre is mainly smith machines and dumbells. And no full length barbell, so...

    Sydney Sofitel Wentworth no availability 7th Jan - 4th March

    Reckon its worth avoiding after it reopens until construction is complete? or would it be ok to stay if they're going floor by floor? Haven't stayed there during a renovation. I normally stay here due to location in the CBD, plus also the access to a full gym with power rack (Sofitel DH gym...

    Anyone had any luck booking a suite upgrade with Sofitel noosa? It says it's a participating hotel on the accor website, but every date I put in says there are no hotels in this area that have SNUs. Even random midweek dates.

    My Accor plus renews on 30/11. I won’t hit 26000 status points by then Do my status points reset on 30/11, or do I have until 31/12 to reach 26000? I thought it was 31/12 but now am a bit confused as the Accor app profile says “You are missing 5000 status points which must be earnt by 30/11/2023”

    I was hoping I could ask the brains trust on a renewal question. I’m Accor platinum, and I *might* hit diamond by 31 Dec. I have a stay from 27-31 Dec which should push me over. I am very unlikely to renew plat or diamond on spend or nights next year (this year we did a long trip at Sofitel...

    Best Accor hotel in Melbourne cbd?

    Good rate for the Sofitel, that’s a no brainer. I’m going to give the Pullman on swanston a go next trip. Not as good as the Sofitel, but it appears to have a recently renovated gym with a full squat rack

    Accor diamond worth it?

    And does anyone know if you get status credits when using Accor points? Is it just the cash value or does it also include the Accor point value?

    Accor diamond worth it?

    So I ended up booking a stay at the Novotel twin waters from 27th-31st of December. (Cheap rate and used $800 of Accor points) It will probably get me over to diamond, but is there any risk of the points not posting in time before end of the year? Do Accor have a “review” period where they wait...

    Accor diamond worth it?

    I’ve just hit plat from a 7 night stay in Fiji and am about 5000 status points away from Diamond. I mainly travel domestically with the family (eg lots of peppers and mantra apartments), with the occasional Sydney work trip thrown in. Just wondering if any Diamonds can comment if they’ve...
