    What’s the Hertz upgrade order

    I have a hertz booking upcoming for a full-size SUV hybrid. E2 and am 5 star gold or something . Is there any likely chance of an upgrade to a Q7? (J2 I think?) Otherwise I might just book it outright.

    Are there Impresario agents in Australia?

    Anyone know of an Impresario agent in Australia? I've just done a quick google search, and "FBI travel" comes up stating they are one of 2 agencies only in the country with it. Wondering who the others are. I know PF has an agent elsewhere, and I suspect others use some found online, but just...

    Best miles to use for PER-TYO with a (BKK) stopover

    I'm a frequent user of Lifemiles, and have a good stash of other FFP miles to use. I normally would just go all the way PER-TYO in J with LM but would like a night potentially in BKK. Anyone have any better suggestions for a one way awards that allows a free stopover? Alaska, United, AA etc?

    Cairns meet up and dinner

    Hello! I've moved temporarily to CNS, for 3 months. I don't know anyone here and my job keeps me mostly out of town (Tues-Thurs only though!). So does anyone want to do dinner and maybe a few drinks somewhere? Thinking sometime when Swanning_it is in town too, as he seems to be around a bit...

    Where to stay for Honshu/Japan ski trip

    Hello, I am thinking of changing up the ski trip for Jan 2018 and hitting Honshu rather than Hokkaido. We are big backcountry skiers but we will also have 2 relative newbies with us, if not more. We'll have a car for transport to and from some of the better BC areas but it would be nice to...

    Macquarie Hilton Free Night

    Hi. Forgot I even had this card, applied when it was free for life last year. Haven't activated it yet so haven't made the spend, obviously. Anyone have any idea whether I would still be eligible for the free night if I make $2000? The T+C I found says 3 months of account opening but I was...

    PER-BNE Red Eye- QF or VA

    Hello! Looking at heading to CNS in late Jan 2017 and the red eye via BNE on either VA (473) or QF (652) unfortunately suit me best. I can pay/bid/whatever to upgrade so assuming I get a J seat, which would you choose? Both seem to be currently 737s, I am not sure if there is a plan to change...

    USA domestic to Alaska- buy miles?

    Hello! My brother and I will be entering the US for snow season next year. I'll be arriving into LAX and he will be in SEA. My thoughts are that I get to SEA and then spend a night there prior to a flight to Alaska (still deciding on Juneau or Anchorage). My question for the forum is what is...

    VISA versus AMEX emergency cards

    I recently had the pleasure of being the victim of identity theft. (See the scam thread,p or feel free to ask if you have any questions). They used an apparently new tactic of mobile number porting to access bank accounts via apps/website without needing many passwords. They still need base...

    Some Japan ski/snowboard backcountry tips thoughts and advice

    I don't really do photos, and can't be bothered with trip reports, but I figured others should benefit from the year of research that went into my epic 2 months Hokkaido back country trip, as there was a lot that I couldn't find online or had no current information for. In no particular order...

    In case of death...

    Hi. This is a bit of an odd one, but does anyone have a list of instructions in case of their death? Maybe some of it is included in the last will and testament (which I don't have yet), but more along the lines of getting someone to email your friends and AFF, clear out the FF accounts etc...

    Need a reality check- long weekend in CPH

    Hi. I have 2 lifemiles redemptions that I was not planning on using because I don't want to take 3 weeks off. I was going to cancel both of them but then thought "why waste an F FRA-SYD on TG". So I looked up flights and can get a SIN-CPH direct J SQ on lifemiles, which would have very little...

    Should I credit to BAEC?

    Hi. I'm currently QF SG and have just been comped another year, although on the 25th I have a J BKK-HND and Y HND-CTS booked which would have taken me over the line for my 31st Dec membership year. I also have the return flights J CTS-HND-BKK (don't ask me why the system booked me into Y for 1...

    MH contingencies and TI info

    In light of the most recent MH tragedy the risk of a collapse seems significantly higher. My condolences go out to family and friends of the passengers and crew. Whilst I understand that this was an accident that could have happened to any airline, I think many around will be less forgiving...

    Need some PER dinner partners

    Slightly different one here. Not really a single social event so I thought here would be a better place. Please move as appropriate. I am not a wine connoisseur but I do enjoy my degustations, especially those run as a special event. Between various mailing lists and the Entertainment book I...
