    SQ221 saver award availability (F)

    Good morning. My wife and I are looking to experience the Singapore Airlines lastest A380 cabins. I've ran a few dummy bookings on SQ 221 and it seems saver flights are 'Not Available'. Is it worth calling up reservations directly to book? Cheers Drew

    BA changing partner award prices

    Uh oh, this cannot be good news :( British Airways is apparently making "changes" to the number of Avios required for redemptions on partner airlines, except for BA, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Vueling. However, they haven't actually said what the new prices will be! I expect prices will increase...

    Hello folks. I'm looking to book some flights with EK next year for points.

    Late last year I was booked into business with QF on MEL-ADL using BA Avios, and was downgraded at the gate to economy, being left to chase up a refund for the difference with British Airways. In my most recent booking, my partner and I were bumped from a MEL-CNS QF flight the night before...

    EF not seeming to reflect award flights for QF platinum

    Hi, I am a premium member of EF and a QFF plat. I have added my QFF number to EF but the searches do not reflect the availability on the QF award site.

    Earning Avios with hotels.com AND free award night

    I was just scoping out BA Avios and learned if you book through the BA website to hotel.com here you can still earn your rewards night after every 10 nights (which I value highly for personal stays in non-chain places) but you can earn Avios as well. Thinking about accruing a few Avios as I...
