Hey @edfoo, did you do your own thing while there, or were you on a tour?. There is a lot of negative media about China, but I am still…

If you are seeking rentals from an airport, a location on the airport property (i.e. a pickup counter inside the terminal) is often more…

All things equal, it's always a bit of a special start of a holiday to fly with an airline of the destination country. Regardless of the…

Hawker food is the best - great recommendations. Jollibee is also top notch!, a must visit whenever in Asia.

I really really want to visit the states this year to discover places I haven't been (East Coast), but this is exactly my problem - the…

I think it's the first one - OP can you double check that the fair type is actually flexible?

The threshold on low-cost versus full service is difficult to put a price on. I figure some local airlines have had such negative wrap in…

$279 a night for an **Ibis Styles** ???? Sheesh.

This doesn't answer your question, but you mentioned possibly flying JAL - I would highly recommend this option (or other full-service…

JAL is an excellent airline and the 2-4-2 seat configuration on the 777s is thoroughly worth the price premium.

A 42% increase in the excess doesn't seem insignificant to me. Along that line of thinking, I wouldn't mind a 'minor' pay increase this…

I do wonder what cost-benefit analysis went on. As a bargainer that uses a credit card for the benefit of travel insurance (amongst other…

The opposite of a bargain received in the mail today, notification of upcoming changes to ANZ Platinum and Black card complimentary…

You probably won't have issues with driving in the US if you are a competent driver here. It sometimes seems that big cities have bad…

Agree with others, avoid Turo. Once you add on insurance, it's hardly competitive and many vehicles have limits on the kms you can travel…

Loving the business class deals popping up! Longingly waiting for some European business class deals to come up. I'll probably be waiting a…

The app is such a time saver, I am really surprised at the number of people who don't know about it/don't use it.

Wow that is shocking. People plan on booking rewards seats a year out. 30 days is ridiculous, and I doubt any reward seats would even be…

Virgin business class is not business class at all when flying internationally, and they really should consider changing the name. Lie flat…

ANA is an excellent airline with top notch service. The only thing I can 'fault' them on (not that it is really a fault at all) is the ANA…

I always check Didi and Uber when making a booking. Didi used to always be cheaper by a few dollars, but I have noticed that it is now on…

Hey @seanmilts - when you churn cards, do you close one card before applying for another? Or do you keep one open and apply for a new one…

Ouch! I have 2 (one is fee free for the life of the card so I will keep it as my bills card) and my other I use as an everyday spending…

Good shout about fuel prices. Hey @vulpesvulpes - Make sure you download the NSW Fuelcheck app, Comes in hands especially in Sydney city…

Yeah, I've done a lot of research for an upcoming SE Asia trip and there's nothing with unlimited at full speed. The best I could find was…

I would be surprised if any bank has a flatline policy of no OTP codes. The OTP code is generated for new or unusual online transactions,…

Macquarie is seriously overlooked all the time whenever anyone asks this question. No-fee transaction account, free overseas ATM…

That's a difficult one. There are many sales to Japan right now. If you hold out you risk no sales over your dates and could be stung with…

I would find it difficult to believe boking.com has been compromised, but based on the other comments it seems its possible!. Pretty…
