Im trying to book a Qantas J awards flights, return PER-CPH in June, July or August for next year. Preferably around the 15th of July to mid August but except for one flight on the 6th of June, there is nothing at all. Is this common or are the tickets yet to be released? I am merely a bronze...

A trip report from our USA trip and first travel in J & F (Part 1 of 3) It has been a long and interesting journey. Everything from real luxury to (to be honest) pigsties that should not call themselves hotels. Unfortunately, our travel computer started wreaking havoc after about a week and my...

Lonely planet just came out with their list of Best-in-Europe for 2017. I always told friends and family to look at Gotland (no 2) when visiting Sweden or Scandinavia. It is a magical place, so unique and a well hidden gem :) Or... not anymore :D https://www.lonelyplanet.com/best-in-europe

Just saw an article about Emirates offerings during Ramadan. While I think it is great that the airline provides for its Muslim passengers during their holy month, it also feels as if I, as a non-muslim, dont get the same level of food and service as I normally would. Also (having worked with...

I was looking at booking a redemption flight for next year but due to a miscalculation on my part :rolleyes: made me realise I am about 30,000 points short. Really silly mistake but I still have about a month or two to get them, but what would you suggest? I already have a lot of CCs and at...

I have an upcoming flight to Canberra later this year. Unfortunately it has been booked separately so I have one single booking with my Amex complimentary flight from PER-SYD. I then need to get to CBR. I talked to Virgin and they said they cant send the bags straight through or check me in the...

I made a few bookings through Flybuys and Flybuys travel. It seemed like a great deal, many had the same price but free cancellation and I get additional points which is a bonus. After getting a better deal on a Marriott booking I cancelled the one I had with Flybuys. Today I got an email...

I made a booking at Hilton in the US a while back but since then I noticed that the prices have dropped quite significantly. Can I cancel my booking and book the same room again, or is there any better way of doing it? Book first and then cancel the old one? I cant seem to find a cancel booking...

I have been with Optus for a few years now, but considering what I was getting with my plan I was considering changing as my plan is now running out. I will probably opt for either Vodafone or Virgin, Telstra is out of the question as it does not work at work. Vodafone has free international...

Thanks to this site I decided to dwell into the dark side as some call it, ie. Qantas :D I have merely done rewards bookings through SQ and I am now racking up enough points to do one with Qantas for 2018. I am wondering what the best way would be? I am looking at a one way for me and hubby...

Even though Changi is one of my favourite airports, we have a 7 hour stopover in June and it might stretch even my patience a bit. We do have lounge access, both to Silverkris Lounge and others through Priority Pass if needed... but how do we spend almost 7 hours? Anyone has any other tips? We...

Seeing some of the prices we are offered to pay in certain circumstances I thought it would be fun to see what the worst quotes you have received are? It can be in any category, travel, hotel, house, home, cars etc. One of mine would be a 3 day stay at a 2-star hotel in Sydney (over New Years...

Next week my husband and I are doing another flight with VA and with the SCs pooled to my account I should finally, for the first time ever, reach silver status :D Not much for a few of you but heaps for me, as I barely fly VA or domestic. Anyway, I was wondering how long it takes for the...

Hello all, I am looking for a card to use overseas with no or low international transaction fees. Preferably with sign up bonuses as well and one that would accumulate points. I was looking at the Bankwest World, but I had a big mix up in my application and they took me for a runaround and I...

For some reason I have had a few nights at different Choice Hotels lately. Not bad for what you pay and often in convenient locations. Anyway, I have accumulated a few points, not much but what can I do with them? I cant see any way of transferring them to a decent airline or program that I...

I installed the Qantas Assure app on my phone as it was a free trial. Not that it gives heaps of points, but it is a step in the right direction. I might as well get points for doing what I do every day, which is walking :D Anyway, I have been trying to find information regarding these points...

Good morning, My husband have a Flybuys card where I am an additional card holder. This account has been linked to my Velocity and points transferred to that one. I am now wondering, can I start my own Flybuys account and link his Velocity to that one to transfer points? The reason being we...

Saw this on tv this morning: Delta: Fashion blogger Arielle Noa Charnas kicked off first class with crying baby I am a bit divided on the issue, while I understand flying with a baby can be hard and no matter what you do they keep crying, I would probably not be happy as a fellow passenger in...

Have had the oddest of experiences with American Express. I have been talking about the Amex Velocity card with a friend of mine for some time and since she now wants to go abroad, I finally managed to get her to sign up. I sent my husbands link to her to get him some bonus points as well... and...
