Some of the comments that have been written in the past 24 hours are funny as fuck!

If you use Vietnam Airlines, i've found it best to use their site, and not book through an agent. Better prices and flight options through VA. Last year, booked a multi flight through VA, BKK-HAN-DBP-HAN-SGN-BKK, total cost charged to my UK bank card was £181. Year before, again booked through VA, BKK-HAN-HUI-SGN-BKK, total cost again was £151. Had between 3-6 night stops in every single flight destination.

Mmmmmmmm, this might be one for MM then. I would guess its because you are new, and may need to be upgraded to be able to vote and upload.

You should be able to see a green box and a red box on OTHER peoples post's (not your own), and your able to vote as you like to that post!

Cheers for the report Baz. Never even knew that this place existed!

Ukraine is still a stalemate right now, but the fighting carries on.

Nice to see you posting here Matty. Read the board and enjoy yourself. Chris.

I don't know about Android Pay, as i only have an iPhone, and this may or may not work at all, but the PDQ machine at the Elephant pub at KBP "says" it accepts Apple Pay to pay for services!! I'm back into the Ukraine in 3 weeks time, i'll double check for the Android version then!

I would assume so, but who knows!

I'm too loved up to afford Etihad tickets!!

I have Apple Pay on my iPhone, and that's linked to my debit card. Works at every place that advertises contactless payment methods!!

I have recently flown KLM to Osaka and back. I wanted to change the timing of my flight from LHR to AMS to an earlier flight.( Just fancied an evening in Amsterdam, rather than a nights sleep only). I contacted KLM on their website, and they told me if i wanted to change, i had to do that through the agent i bought the ticket off, which so happened to be eBookers. I didn't bother in the end, mainly because of the hassle involved doing it. A few years back, i was booked on one of the very first Emirates flights to Clark when there started this operation for the first time.Through a work issue, i had to change all my flights dates by one week. Emirates insisted i went back to my original booking agent to do this, which just so happened to be eBookers again. Changed it with them, all 4 segments, and it only cost me £75 in total! You need flexabililty in your ticket, book direct with the airline, not an agent!

Does this action only work against UK based airlines, or can you try this with any airline that flies in and out of the UK?

Legally, you have to have all taxes returned to you if you didn't take the flight!

Maybe i didn't make myself clear in my post. You can transfer all your FF points ( or as little or as much as you like) onto this VISA card, then head off onto the high street or wherever,and use this card to buy what ever it is you really want to buy. Spend on petrol, food, clothes, computers, anything and everything your heart desires, as long as the card is loaded. I.E, you can spend it just like cash!! EDIT: Sorry, just seen that your post was aimed at another poster, and not me!

Did you know, that with an Etihad guest FF card, that you can sign up for a VISA "Points Pay" card, where you can transfer your points from your FF card to this VISA card, and then spend them just like cash on anything you like!

Saw that myself. Checked out a load of dates during October and November, didn't find 1 decent price flight at all!!! In fact, thought all flights were more expensive than normal.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what the weather is like in Manila beginning of November?

Great read Lance, that must of taken some time to write out! Your inspiring me to do another Trip Report for my trip to Japan in September, that's of anyone wants to read it!
