    Passport Renewal / Application - Time Taken?

    Applied on the 15th and received it yesterday. One week turnaround without fast track, very quick.

    Why not book each leg on separate PNR?

    I asked a similar question about multiple bookings/PNRs when planning my trip a couple of years ago. I ended up making separate award bookings from Aus to Europe and return due to the flexibility to cancel and re-book either the outbound or inbound leg without having to ring the call centre and...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges?location=HKG For the CX and QF HKG lounges, the site states that there is 'Access for eligible customers traveling on any oneworld member airline'. I suspect you are looking under the Plaza Premium lounge section which states that only passengers...

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Same here. I wonder what would happen if I registered for DSC via app, didn't get the confirmation email, then registered for double points via the website. Was kind of tempted to find out but decided not to

    Lets talk about the 787 windows

    At least it's much improved from the earlier 787s. This is from one of the jetstar 788s, as you can see it's on max darkness and yet it blocks out hardly anything. Still prefer the normal window shades though.

    DEFT rent payment on amex - earn points?

    Not worth it for rewards points/gift cards, for me it's worth paying via deft where possible as I earn 1.25 QF points per $1. With a 1.5% fee, this equals 1.2c/qf point which I am willing to pay for. Guessing that's taking into account the tax implications otherwise I can't see how you can get...

    Is all of Jan a blackout period?

    Unfortunately even MU is blocked for the inbound leg in early January - absolutely nothing available from pretty much anywhere.

    Trains of Japan - A Review Thread

    Shinano wide view This is a JR limited express service from Nagoya to Nagano. In that direction only, the front car (green car) has a nice view right behind the driver if you book row 1.

    Trains of Japan - A Review Thread

    Tokyo Monorail - runs between Haneda and Hamamatsucho Is it a train? Maybe... but whenever I go to/from Haneda, I like to catch this anyway as we don't have a monorail in Sydney any more.

    Trains of Japan - A Review Thread

    Nice thread, I might see what I have when I'm back home. I flew out of KIX a few days ago and the ANA lounge was small and crowded. Another option besides the rapi:t is the nankai airport express, which is just a regular train departing from the same station and takes around 10 min longer than...

    Kris+ app

    I tried paying with the kris+ app today and it's kind of annoying to use. The merchant had to open the kris app on their tablet, I then had to find the merchant in my kris app, press pay, scan the QR code, manually enter the amount to pay, and then wait for the merchant to verify the payment...
