Aloha! We were supposed to go to Hawaii and repeat our Honeymoon in March 2020. Out first part of the trip was interrupted on day four, and we made it back a day before the borders shut. Now here we go…. The trip includes, J flights on HA, F flights inter island on HA, and stays at Prince...

Haven’t seen any discussion on this elsewhere, has anyone made any TRS claims recently? Is the office open or are they on paper and drop box method until it is busier? We have a bit to claim on Sunday, wondering if there are queues, if we need to bring extra invoice copies, etc.

I've been searching, and don't see anything recent on this... I'm looking for an app that tracks all my bookings for a trip, and alerts me to aircraft/schedule changes, and other good features. I see tripcase and kayak are somewhat similar (I think?), but what does everyone else use? Tripcase...

Any ideas why Singapore would stop publishing/releasing their schedule? SQ flights should be open 355 days out, so through 31 March 2022, but there are no flights from the 27th to the 31st of March to redeem miles or even purchase. The other day, the SQ call centre booked us LAX-SIN-SYD on the...

Good evening everyone. After a long break from AFF, I decided to start cruising (pun intended) the forums to reignite my hopes for travelling. It has been just a couple of years shy of the date when we had to pack our bags midway through our Costa Rica holiday to return to Sydney before the...

I thought I would start a thread as a resource for AFFers who have changed or cancelled travel plans directly or indirectly due to 2019 n-CoV. Did the airline/cruise company cancelling or change your flight/cruise? Or, did you proactively or reactively cancel or change it on your own (and...

I've spent too long waiting for the dust to settle after the amex rewards points "enhancements" this year. I feel like we aren't earning as fast, but spending more..... So today, I sat down and compared the four cards we currently have: Amex Plat Charge Amex Explorer Citi Signature Visa Plat...

Executive Traveller reporting that SQ will trial dine on demand in J. HERE is the article. I've never flown QR, and have never had a dine on demand service on a flight. Although maybe my EK flight in F was (I might have had a little too much Hennessy Paradis to remember if I got to decide...

Does anyone book personal travel through Amex? I've looked at booking things a few times on the Amex travel website (looking to use travel credits). I've always found their prices to be significantly more than booking direct, and the only reason I've still booked, is to use up travel credits...

Just tried to look at rates 10 months out for Sydney Airport (I usually book the room the same time as I book a reward redemption on SQ...), and they are $180-$200 then we have ever paid before! Also looking at a room in Sept, and same thing. Have they had a significant rate increase across the...

For those that have been, looking for a recommendation between Four Seasons Lanai or Wailea. We are planning to go in March 2020, what appears to be USA spring break. We are a couple, no kids, and spent our honeymoon at FS Wailea back in 2015. The reviews are all over the place as far as Wailea...

I can't believe I've never done this.. I've always been booked through on the same ticket, or have had a shopping stopover in LA before going on to our next city. We arrive at TBIT via SQ, and are "connecting" (with a 4 hour buffer) to a UA flight to DEN. These are separate tickets, each...

Our friends are in Bali with a 2 and 5 year old. Of course, Bali flights are cancelled, so our friends were willing to get to another airport by car, pay for their own flights to Jakarta, and asked to have flights to Sydney changed to ex Jakarta instead of Bali. Garuda refusing to waive the...

Since we had some travel credits with Amex, we booked a domestic segment in the USA via Amex Online, from SEA to SAN on DL. DL changed the flight to a SkyWest operated flight (no thanks), and Amex notified us via email with our updated itinerary. I sent an email to the email address they...

Just boarded SQ232 after 3 hours in the SYD First Class Lounge. Non-SQ related, the TRS line was out the door. I noticed almost every person either didn’t have their items with them, didn’t have the receipt, or wanted cash. How many signs do they have to post? Follow the process or get out...

There has been some recent conversation about travel insurance, Bali, Volcano's, etc lately, and this morning I received an email from Amex about Platinum Insurance Enhancements. I instantly felt sick to the stomach, but upon reading the PDS, was pleasantly surprised. All limits etc. seem to...

I read a lot of posts from 2014/2015 about VIP/Fast Track services for DPS. They used to be really recommended, but there are a few from 2016/2017 that say its not needed any longer. We arrive on SQ942 from SIN around 1200pm on a Monday. How busy is it in immigration and customs at that time...

Hi all, I've gone through quite a few years worth of posts, but things aren't any clearer since I've been trying to figure this out. Any advice would be appreciated as always. We have just on 500K Ascent MR points to convert to KF. We are willing to buy a few more from Amex to get to the 510K...

Good morning AFF-ers. I thought I'd give doing a trip report a go on here, since I have learned so much from the collaborative minds on AFF. So before my partner Ian and I embark on this holiday that we've been planning since the whatever day reward flights we loaded into the system for today...

Just curious at to what thoughts people have about this wine release. I recognise that its a "brand" (LVMH), but the background and the reviews all seem pretty impressive. Have you tried it? Did/Would you buy it?
