    Interesting special request option on Mongolian Airlines

    Dog fights are advertised publicly on large bilboards though.

    Which lounge was nice surprise to you?

    Got a nice surprise at the BNE Plaza Premium Lounge recently. Due to the stingy one-guest (incl children) policy for VA SG/WP on SQ, I found myself at this lounge as a Citi PP member (2 x free lounge visits per year) debating with the wife how to split up our family for lounge access. She'd...

    Golf and golf equipment

    SQ lost my bag between SIN-KUL but recovered it late the same day so I was able to play Royal Selangor GC the next morning. Probably the hottest I've ever been on a golf course. Average course with pretty coughpy greens, but a nice club environment. Played at a resort just outside KUL called...

    50000 Bonus Points for new eligible Car or Home Insurance

    Minimum annual premium of over $1,550 for these policies. About 30% more than my house insurance, 100% more than my car insurance and 300% than my landlord insurance. However, points awarded based on premium after 60 days, so by paying monthly and starting low and changing just before the 60...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    1400 points for $150 spend. I don't recall ordering a side of loogie with the lousy 3x-10x points for macro products or some such.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    SQ changed our seats on all four of our flights recently, only notifying us once. All whY redemptions for a family of 4 (2A, 2C), all seats selected at booking up to 5-8 months ago. Departure times brought forward 5mins for the SIN-KUL leg and 30mins and then again 10mins for the PEN-SIN leg...

    "The perfect destination for everyone" - is that even possible?

    Add to my list as a most definite yes, "Overly officious bureaucracy". People love that.

    "The perfect destination for everyone" - is that even possible?

    India. Food - yep. Booze - yep History - yep Sport - yep "Culture" - don't even know what that actually is, but "it's" different to what you're used to, so - yep. Language - yep Extreme weather - yep Beaches - yep Mountains - yep Desert - yep Water - yep Arts - yep Trains - yep Religion - yep...

    How best to use points for a young family?

    Value is soooo difficult to define, especially here. I prefer to use points as they're needed rather than wait for a big pointy end redemption. In the last year I've taken the fam (2A, 2C under 12) on a RTW trip (MEL-SFO...DCA-LHR...FCO-ARN...HAM-DXB...AUH-NRT...HND-CNS-MEL) and a...

    Do you leave a tip for hotel housekeeping?

    Hotels, generally, seem to be cutting back on the level of housekeeping provided to every other or third day. Can't tip them if they not coming into the room.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    I might not be looking in the right place, but the lack of an obvious link to save a booking in MMB to a calendar is an undergraduate oversight.

    Qantas Staff Incompetence - Ticketed 2 adults and not infant, leading to denied boarding

    I've been here for ages and only just learnt recently the difference between an e-ticket and itinerary received by email is rather significant particularly when it comes to QF partner award bookings. There seems to be ongoing problems in that area for QF. Not sure why what happened keeps...

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Like @L2., I haven't experienced an offer mentioning a specific store before. Nothing about that store in the terms so presumably would be fine anywhere, as per usual.
