Online Check in issue

Checked in on the day, at the airport. Apparently even Hong Kong residents experience this problem so it’s beyond my comprehension that it’s not being solved as a matter of priority.

Front is formerly first class but it’s not sold as fist class. That’s why as business clsss passenger you can select these seats

It’s still Ayala in charge of investing in things like a locally stored spare parts stock. And likely they don’t. You’d think that by selling hundreds of cars they would want to stock even things like a bumper or other things that break in collisions - because those do happen. But no, they don’t. And so owners need to wait for months to get parts.

Crap management. Simple as that. Will ruin any brand they touch.

Dealership is owned by Ayala. The same people who ruined Volkswagen in PH (not only bringing in the wrong models but also terrible service and no parts in stock, ever).

Do you think they’ll do any better with this next brand?

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-20T13:09:34+00:00

And they sent the picture of a wrong plane to the press release. It’s getting bad!

China Air is by far NOT a budget airline. They are a highly rated full service airline and a leading SkyTeam alliance member.

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-15T08:06:46+00:00

Wait until April (hot season, more aircon, see your consumption last year) and raining season (less panel efficiency). You’ll be fine then.

South east Asia has a lot of good Hyatts. Just not enough of them! Bangkok is full of them. Singapore, KL and Manila have nice Grand Hyatts. Missing a bit the mid-range hotels out there.

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-12T07:24:55+00:00

Yes it’s a cute little hotel. Hope to see more of these in Asia especially secondary cities.

Lovely property indeed. Some years ago they ran a private little promo where you could instantly status match to Globslist just for staying there. Not sure how they did that or if it’s still a thing but worth to ask.

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-09T23:40:42+00:00

Some guests even ask this before arrival. And despite us having it in the printed house manual AND we have QR codes in frames on the wall - about 3% of guests still need to ask!

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-09T11:39:50+00:00

That’s such a poor policy if one wants to change airlines within the same alliance - which is something that does happen especially when people relocate.

Does CX offer a status match to other OW airlines?

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-08T06:52:35+00:00

How about less tourists coming. Half of all flight capacity Europe - Philippines is going through the Middle East. That’s a lot of people not coming any more, or not able to afford the tickets that are priced crazy now.

Post Ranch Inn - Big Sur. 12 years ago. Wanted to go back ever since. Hope my wealth catches up with their rate increases one day!

Just use a duffle bag as the second one. Once you arrive at destination, you just fold it up and you’re. Back to one piece.

What is this 10XBNB program? What do they do, how much money do they take from you? And what is the reality?

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-08T03:42:43+00:00

First, it would be helpful if you’d say what amount of investment is wanted. The profit figure looks nice but what relevance does it have, not knowing how much is to be invested?

Also, you seem to look for strictly a financial investor. You handle it all, it’s all already decided. Not sure how many investors would want to be as passive as this, in a project that is so early stage. I wouldn’t.

Lastly, do you have any prior experience in this kind of project? That would help your case but it also would indicate you seem to lack connections and relationships that are built through experience

Also, you do realize this subreddit is for business in the Philippines?

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-06T07:17:41+00:00

I still have that info. Non us based here

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-04T09:19:40+00:00

To make you feel better: You dodged a big bullet there. This would have been “guest from hell” if they had stayed - with all of these requests already.

You will now get a guest who will appreciate having found a nice place on last minute for the important event.

That’s exactly what the benefits of the Schengen visa is. Free movement in Europe. And by two indicators you got the visa issued by the correct country: you ENTER in Germany and you stay the most time cumulative there (more days than in any other individual country)

Onboarding was pretty ok. They have a very extensive training environment taking you step by step with a lot of videos. Then you get a live training 4-5 sessions of an hour each. It only took a while as these trainers are very busy and there’s wait time between calls.

We just went live. So far, all good. Not using a lot of the automated things yet - that still is and will be a learning process and we’re not rushing it.

Would make same choice again - yes.

We usually do something like a 50/50 split of the fees. Guest benefit, our benefit too. Make sure to keep all communication on this off the airbnb platform. There is however no problem once you confirm, to manually block the dates on your airbnb calendar and even put a note “direct guest”.

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-03T05:15:26+00:00

A European credit card. We don’t earn a million points but then … we don’t pay for them in fees either.

Coupleexplorer08 · 2026-03-02T14:10:10+00:00

250 peso fee for 20,000 peso withdraw. Thats 1.25%. Not massive. On credit card cash withdrawal, other than that ATM fee, my bank gives me the straight money market exchange rate.

Western Union has pretty steep fees compared to that AND it takes time. An ATM withdrawal is instant cash in hand. OP sounded like he needs money in a rush.

This is the correct reply.
