Hey everyone - looking to compile a list of great sit down restaurants that are also casual in nature, not fine dining/tasting course type places. The equivalent I look for in the States would be James Beard chef restaurants - which typically are unpretentious excellent food.
Hi all - we have a trip booked to Cambodia/Thailand for March and debating between south Cambodia (Six Sesnses Krabey Island ~ 700 / night + Shinta Mani Wild ~ USD 3000 / night) to cut down on flights/travel time OR going to fly to Koh Samui and stay at FS / Napasai.
Has anyone here experienced South Cambodia? I assume the biggest difference may be in the level of service, but at those price points I hope it wouldn't be as much.
I haven't seen any communication about this, but when looking to book some J flights back fro Paris in August 2025, the typical flights with the individual suites (Airbus) are now showing as Boeing's with the old seats. (A) Does anyone know where google pulls their data from (B) Is there anywhere to confirm this?
Flying into: Sydney.
Flying out of: Perth.
Month: October / November.
Honestly quite overwhelmed with where to even start! All we know is we'll spend 3 days in Sydney/Perth at the start + end of the trip, giving us a good 10 days to explore elsewhere.
I've seen everything from - Melbourne, to Tasmania, to Queensland, Gold Cost, Nigaloo etc, which is obviously way too much to do.
I think we'd be happy taking 3 internal flights max (allowing us to do 5 days in two other places e.g. Syd > Place 1 > Place 2 > Perth.) before the wedding in Perth to wrap the trip up. Don't really want to be driving 10+ hours to multiple places unless there are nice stops on the way. We
Title - love our agent, we purchased our first property with them 4 years ago and have kept a great relationship.
We have recently started to slowly explore the market and have communicated this to them. My spouse stumbled upon a great listing that was not brought to our attention by our agent (but fit all the parameters), and then my spouse saw our agents children and spouse visiting the open house today with an intent to buy.
What do we even do in this situation..? Is it best to directly ask him if he is trying to purchase? Should we ask the listing agent? If he is interested, then we do not want to work with him obviously. Are there any laws that we should be aware of with this?
Title - just got a text from TK stating they changed my flight which originally had a 2 hour layover to one with 9 hours which will make me miss a train I have to catch.
In a case like this, would I be better off calling Aeroplan or TK to try and rebook onto another route?
Title - is there a list of all current Premier Collection hotels? The search is horrendous and even using the trick of not clicking the Premier Stays tab and directly searching on the hotels is still annoying.
Given their footprint is still relatively small compared to Amex FHR I've struck out using this often.
Hi all - apologies if there is a better place to post this first of all.
My wife and I will be flying into Dubai early April and have a 10 day tour of Oman planned out for our honeymoon.
For whatever reason, we got bumped off our original flight and I took the option of arriving 3 days earlier because why not. We will be going to Zighy bay in Oman from Dubai but have nothing booked for 3 nights.
Looking for hotels that are less crazy / kid friendly and more romantic and happy to do the desert or the beach but struggling with choice overload..
Does anyone have good recommendations based on experience (budget aside).
Thank you in advance!
Hi all, my parents moving to Frankfurt and will be flying Lufthana for work almost exclusively and will be earning a ton of miles - by my calculations with normal travel around 300k a year. I've been looking for guides on Lufthana miles specifically but most of them seem to be around using other partners to book Lufthansa F at T-14.
Other than Lufthana flights, are there any other good redemptions they can take advantage of with these miles?
Hey all - looking for J from CDG --> JFK in Sept 2024 and there is zero Saver availability for the whole month. Exists in all months prior already, and have never had trouble finding availability (especially on the CDG > JFK) route.
Any idea why this may be?
Will be flying to Amman Jordan next year and have two available options to fly from the east coast:
Option 1: Total trip time is around 20 hours on Turkish Airlines.
YYZ --> IST (6.5 hour layover).
IST --> QAIA (with a stop in AQJ where I have to disembark and re-board).
Option 2: Total trip time is around 14 hours on EgyptAir.
JFK --> CAI (2 hour layover).
CAI --> QAIA
Option 2 is the easiest one but also haven't heard great things about Egyptair J - has anyone experienced either? Is the hard/soft product on either worth tailoring the trip around?

Cards Opened in last 24 months: 6 (Flex, Amex Gold, Bonvoy Boundless, Amex Platinum, Preferred, Venture x)
Not sure what I was thinking but applied for the Amazon Prime Rewards because I thought 2x cards had come off my count (they do next month not this) and didn't get instant approval. Just got an email saying I got approved and have the card - pretty surprised to say the least but I'm not complaining.
