I'm not sure if this is related or not, but for ages, but recently I've been receiving a plethora or emails from them (daily in fact). I'm not really interested so I went to the bottom of the emails to unsubscribe, only to find no option there to do so.

I've since noticed the that I can view on-line and the unsubscribe function is there, but not in any of the emails themselves. Have others noticed this? I'm viewing them on a web-mail platform so maybe something is going wrong, or maybe AFTA have received complaints from others about spamming. Just curious.

I received an email today to a yahoo address & it had the unsubscribe option along with a manage preferences

Thanks. I half assumed that may be the case. Mine, through a Telstra Web mail platform stops at the last LE offer.

Going to Reykjavik? This may be of interest. This is centrally located and looks good in a very expensive city.

3 nights $700. Opened in 2016. I haven't checked TA for reviews though.

Is very central at least. Decent price if it's a nice place. I paid around 500-600 a night for the Canopy and the Curio Konsulat in Aug-Sept.

It’s a very typical looking building for Reykjavík and well located in what is really a pretty small nicely walkable city anyway.

Has anyone been invited to the Luxury Escapes road shows they are doing? There is one in Adelaide on Monday night - we get free drinks and nibbles and expect we will pay with it with a hard sell.

Yes I got an invite in Canberra. Won't be going though, I suspect free drinks and nibbles to participate in a publicity fest for them.

I did. Can’t remember much more about it. Maybe it was on FB?

I did for the Canberra one, but won't be going.

I'll go for a free drink in Adelaide and see how it goes

 

[Happy Dude]

I did not get an invite.

Nor did I get a response to my email to them complaining about the Ritz Carlton in Bali not providing a late checkout despite it being part of the Luxury Escapes package.

If anyone is looking for CBR, maybe at the Govt rate (inexpensiveish), there's the Kurrajong in Barton:

Heritage Stay in One of the World’s Hottest Cities for 2018

@Cossie, has the CBR meet been and gone?

I did for the Canberra one, but won't be going.

Luxury Escapes Senior Internship 2018 | Luxury Escapes

Interesting request from LE - wants seniors to spend a week in Melbourne but doesn't mention who will pay their expenses

 

[get me outta here]

This was advertised a while ago. Perhaps they didn't get any interest which would be surprising, unless they are not paying hotel in MEL.

You do get a uniform and LE bag + a $400 LE voucher.
Then they make you fly Y transpac.

gawd, that's torture, esp for older people who are seasoned travellers as you'd have to be to contemplate this, and therefor they'd be used to J / F more recently.

I don't see a wink or a smile in your post, so do we assume you are serious?

That's an insult, surely. Either the intern is desperate for interaction, or the intern has no idea. I would have thought they could get heaps of MEL residents if they paid a wage. I guess the holiday is OK given a one in ten chance. The voucher is rubbish unless one uses LE regularly.

Maybe I'm just a grump, but for that offer, I wouldn't bother getting out of bed.
