I currently have a credit card that I keep at 0 balance. The card is just for emergencies. I want to apply for a mortgage within the next year - will holding the credit card impact the amount of a mortgage I am likely to be approved for? Is it a better idea to just get rid of the card until after I purchase a home?

Hi all

Can card payments deduct directly from a pocket? I wish to separate my money into a pocket for a trip, and I don’t want to touch that money until I have to. So, for example, if my main account is at €0 and a pocket has €100, will money be taken from the pocket if I tap my card to pay or will the payment simply decline?

Thanks

Hi

I’m going to Japan for three weeks in August. I am in Tokyo for 8 nights, Osaka for 6 nights, Kyoto for 4 nights, and Hiroshima for 2 nights. My planned budget is from €6,500-€8,500 (¥1.1m - ¥1.5m). This budget excludes flights and hotels as these are already paid. Some further details:

1. I plan on visiting USJ (express pass), Shibuya sky, team labs planets, hopefully go to a baseball game in Hiroshima. These are likely to be the most expensive activities I have planned.

2. I will travel via Shinkansen between cities

3. I will eat at konbinis for breakfast, casual restaurants for lunch, and mid range restaurants for dinners primarily. Although I would like to try a higher end omak

I will be flying in Club World from DUB-HND with a connection in LHR. The DUB-LHR leg of the journey is operated by Aer Lingus. I have two questions related to this:

1. Which airlines desk in Dublin will I need to check in at - BA or Aer Lingus?

2. Does anyone know if I will have access to fast track security and the Aer Lingus lounge in Dublin with my Club World ticket?

Hey everyone, me and my friend are visiting Japan in mid august-early September. We are big drinkers (mostly beer) when on vacation and are likely to be hitting bars almost every night with some clubs mixed in. I have tried not to pack our schedule too much as I know it’s busy that time of year and it will also be quite hot. We also like to wander around cities a lot.

We will probably eat in konbini for breakfast every day and casual restaurants for lunch. For dinners we will likely eat in mid range restaurants each evening but we would like to go to a higher end sushi omakase restaurant at least one night and a high end wagyu place another. Nothing set in stone in this regard.

Our plan

I am flying LHR-HND in August in club world and the seat map for my flight suggests that the cabin is in the old 2-3-2 configuration. It also says the aircraft type is ‘789’ (assume this is 787-9?). I was really hoping to fly club world suites, how likely is it that there will be an equipment change to an aircraft with CW suites?
