We recently changed corporate travel agent from Amex to Egencia. I now also found out that as a result, HHonors points are not rewarded anymore when booked through Egencia. With Amex it was. Might need to find a fix for that although that would probably mean breaking our travel policy ;-)

Yep, I had the same. I had searched (not booked) for a flight to Moree and that was also in the subject line of the email offer I received.

I suspect Qantas is using certain algorithms for selective offers. I'm certainly not making statements which loyal Qantas FF's deserve these offers more. Looking at the above I can only dream of reaching Platinum One, although I have been a loyal Platinum FF for a few years now. With 1,090 status...

I was wondering the same but I can't find the offer anywhere on the Qantas website. It may be targeted

Usually I miss out but sometimes offers are very well timed. That moment that you are just planning your next trips for the months to come and you receive an email from Qantas with 50% bonus status credits... And knowing that one of the trips that drops in the bucket is a OneWorld business class ...

Sounds like Eddie Redmayne has some serious competition here

My wife is using one. It's a sturdy suitcase and it stands out through design. The dividers in the suitcase are not fully functional though with often smaller items falling out when you close the case. The case lacks pockets as well to store smaller things like chargers etc. I am a heavy user mys...

I tried to upgrade a Virgin Flexi flight with one of my complimentary upgrades on the East-West route. I was told there was nothing available. I tried to upgrade the other leg (a saver fare) on points. Also without success. According to Virgin's website, this is subject to Reward Seat availabilit...

Same with me. In 5 years time it happened to me once that I received a spontaneous upgrade to business. That was with Qantas. And that was not because of my charme as I looked very grumpy at that time ...

Well, I use a travel agent and they arranged Business "Z" tickets. Appearantly this is the only fare in business that does not qualify for chauffeur service. Business Saver via the Etihad website (same price!) would have qualified.Anyway, I'm not too sensitive about chauffeurs and limo's and all ...

Thanks!

I really enjoy my Diamond status with Hilton Honours which I got through becoming Virgin Platinum. I booked several stays with Hilton around the world this year and got a free upgrade, free access to the Executive Lounge (which saved diner and breakfast) and complimentary WIFI. Does anybody know ...

Same at Sydney this morning. System crashed, hour delay to Brisbane

I will have SC's left but Qantas does not allow me to gift them :-)You may be lucky, I have retained status before with a SC balance just falling short.

In relation to the other article about the Marco Polo Club. Also in reverse, the CX flights do not seem to contribute well in a round the world business class trip. Last leg from Amsterdam to Sydney with CX is 140 status credits and 12,949 points. Vs 220 status credits and 20,777 points for the B...
