    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Thank you :) Just to clarify, are the screenshot rates in SGD or AUD? And is there any way to see which night the Stay Plus complimentary night has been applied to? I'm a lowly Silver member so don't get complimentary breakfast, and might be better off booking 3 nights using the 3rd night free...

    73H Row 12 recline?

    Hi all, Does anyone know whether Row 12 on a 737-800 (immediately in front of exit row) reclines normally during the flight? I remember a flight years ago when the seats in front of the exit row were fixed upright for the whole flight, but I think more recently the seats were just locked for...

    Recommendations for US Amex card?
