  ‘Firstname Bordeaux’ looks like a mail merge gone wrong!

    I genuinely thought it was…. what a hotel name

  Re: Hyatt categories, all I see is increases across the board globally.

  Prob still reflects post COVID travel but ouch.

    There are also 3 Hyatts going up a category in Istanbul, but this week’s intern has flipped them into ME.

  OT: As I still have not reached relevant spend for my bapp 241 voucher, can I go ahead and book a return flight (for 2 people) with Iberia for the full Avios amount and once I receive the voucher, call BA to apply it and get half avios back?

  • Rob says:

    No

  • TGLoyalty says:

    Nope you’d have to cancel the original booking (if possible) and pay the relevant cancellation fees and rebook.

    I’m not clued up on Iberia booking terms so need to look into that before you go down this route.

  “After eight years, the airline has finally firmed up the route and month that Allegris is due to fly.”… Am I blind or where does it say which month? The route is MUC-YVR, but the month?

    May. Sorry 🙂

  FlyerTalk reporting the new Aspire in NCL is open. I had planned to go up there anyway after the BA event on Tuesday so I’ll take a look.

  As expected BA are using the mid tier lounge which is self service alcohol (Prosecco available on request but it’s not clear whether that’s now free or a paid extra like it used to be). The top tier is currently Emirates only while they get up to speed but upgrades to that level will be £15.

    Partially open. Aspire CEO told me in Amsterdam last week it would be 2-3 weeks before the whole thing (there are three lounges in one complex going forward, one with table service meals) is done. We will take a look in the next 4-6 weeks.

    We can all be happy that the BA pax are segregated to a separate lounge. KL/AF/LH will use the bottom tier or the same as BA?

  OT: Sat on what happens to be the avios only flight to Geneva this morning (had no idea until they announced it on the tannoy) with a 44 seat club Europe and wondering how many of the rest are h4p readers. Apart from one passing mention they’re not making anything of it, so I’m really struggling to see the point. I didn’t even notice when booking despite having read the launch article. Anyone else?

    What did you expect?

    • Rob says:

      2 Mar2 March 10:50

      I would have expected something – free snacks and tea if nothing else, perhaps some Avios merch. Missed opportunity. Film it, get it online.

        Exactly what a waste

    I’m on the Dubai flight in October, let’s see how that goes!

  Just back from our visit to the Hyatt Regency Mainz, which is not on the category changes list above.
  Very pleased to report that the stay was as pleasant as hoped for (last visit was 2010, so plenty of time for things to have changed). Did get free breakfast and a room with an excellent view of the Rhine courtesy of Hyatt privee, also €50 – rather than the official €50 – credit. Bar served the best sweet potato chips ever.
  Check in also gave us a free cocktails for two voucher when I mentioned that we were there for my partner’s birthday – another free €30 of value.
  Breakfast now in a lovely restaurant with huge windows overlooking the Rhine, still serving decent Sekt and smoked salmon, special egg dishes to order.
  Staff great, always calm, smiling, no fuss, ready for a chat about anything relevant.
  Plus 3 000 avios courtesy of BA Amex.
  If flying to Germany, only ~20 mins from Frankfurt airport, station 500m away from hotel, 4-6 local trains an hour.

    also €50 – rather than the official €50

    This part has me confused.

    • RussellH says:

      Sorry – should read €50 – rather than the official $50

  At least these rates are staying as flat rate points. So earning for stays can be planned for, knowing ahead how much you must earn.

  Though I did notice at the lower level, the start rates for the UK have all gone up 60% which is a bit naughty.
