I booked a stay through Amex FHR at Raffles, the booking is showing in my Accor app and status benefits have been recognised (drink vouchers and all), however it is saying that I will not earn any status points for this stay. I thought bookings through Amex FHR, especially if you select to pay...

It definitely was a trial period to see if it's worth to them extending the hours, they have now updated the hours permanently, with the lounge open until 10pm on Monday, Friday and Sunday. Below is the confirmation I received directly from the PP head office.

Unfortunately there won't be a pattern as the seats are available almost a month earlier through Qatar's Privilege Club, whatever hasn't been snapped up should (but not always) be available via Velocity. Late June until August will also be the blackout / peak pricing for Qatar which means you...

Just set a max point limit in the alerts.

Ashton Hills is my favourite for Adelaide Hills pinot noir.

Something is definitely going on with fuel surcharges, especially for flights inbound to Australia. Fees for a J flight from BNE to LHR / WAW and few others are about $1200 now, which is $500 more than before, not great but not a total deal breaker. But the same flight coming back to AUS now...

$101 for Y and $305 for J.

So it seems the international lounge has revised hours until the 18th of Jan, open to serve late evening QR and EK departures on Monday, Friday and Sunday. I wonder if this is just them capitalising on the peak December / January travel period or is it a trial run for extending hours...

QF26 HND-SYD - successful Y to J at T-24 for 1 pax, I believe there were around 5 seats available couple days prior.

I only transferred 300k to QR last night and was in my account instantly.

This has been making the rounds on FlyerTalk for a few months now, Sofia is the cheapest but for few hundred more there was (or still is) an option ex-BER/DUB/OSL/WAW. I looked at WAW a few weeks ago which was around the $4.3k mark but now it is over $5k so not sure about the others.

Quite enjoyed this one, got it for $15 per bottle from Skye Cellars, great mid-week quaffer at the price point. The other Neldner Road wines can be had on a discount too, always decent.

100% bonus on right now until December 17th. Not sure if it's worth it at the moment due to the woeful availability recently, does anyone know what's going on with that? It has always had great availability but that doesn't seem the case currently.

Probably better off buying Aeroplan points during a bonus period. Would be roughly $2.7k one way with taxes with an 80% bonus and the availability is pretty decent compared to KF.

Last time they posted at the same time and as Wine People, hopefully it’s different this time!

Same here, perhaps they fixed the stacking of the offers?

18% cashback on TopCashback for Laithwaites today as well, could be a decent discount since the Australian and Laithwaites Amex offers stack, meaning $100 off on $150 spend.

That's rough, what's next, no lounge access with (U) award tickets? If I'm flying with a child <5 years old and I don't pay to select seats, will they auto allocate seats at check in that are next to each other?

You can try plenty of other stores that have it for $85, they'll definitely price match those. https://www.nicks.com.au/products/bollinger-special-cuvee-brut-champagne

Not correct lately, for example two flights out of Adelaide in the last week were on A350's with the reverse herringbone layout and not Qsuites. My March flight out of Adelaide is not showing as QSuites at this stage, even though it was when I booked it. QR website is also not advertising...
