Where am I going this week? Perth, Western Australia
Hello travellers.
I'm off to Perth this coming week, with the help of a points upgrade from a Qantas Red e-Deal to Business. I'm looking forward to reporting on that flight, and our stay at the QT Perth.
What happened last week?
Virgin Australia offered double status credits on some flights; the TWA hotel at JFK opened its doors, and I dropped a first impressions report on the Majestic Rooftop Garden Hotel in Adelaide. I've also written an explainer on when Qantas offers domestic economy passenger free alcoholic beverages, and when they don't. Oh yes, and my Platinum status welcome pack arrived from Qantas. Did I mention that I'm now Platinum with Qantas?
Catch up on last weeks posts below. Until next week . . .
Happy Travels,

Virgin Australia sent out today an email campaign advising how to earn double status credits on specific flights between now and 14 April 2020 – but you have to book in the next week – before 27 May 2019. The promotion is tailored, but not targeted. It’s open to all. The email I received specifically […]
There has been great anticipation about the opening of this hotel from both the aviation-geek community and the midcentury design crowd. This iconic terminal designed by Eero Saarinen and opened in 1962 as the TWA Flight Centre at JFK Airport was commissioned by Howard Hughes. It has as of 15 May been re-opened as part of […]
