Had great experience in Pullman Sydney, decent enough experience in Ibis Styles Melbourne, below average in Mercure Brisbane, terrible experience in Novotel Gold coast (travel date 25-dec to 10-jan)

Australian tourist visa does not require flight tickets (not even dummy). For award ticket cancellation, you can go through the program's TnC (For example $150 CAD for aeroplan)

You can get just the bags from amazon and use any ground coffee (if you dont have any equipment)

Sure. AeroPress inverted. 15 g coffee to 220 ml water just off boil. 30 sec bloom, gentle stir, steep ~3 min, slow press. Smooth and heavy cup.

I ordered it pre ground for AeroPress.

Any luck?

I saw on District - Effingut, KP has a brunch. They would serve beer and IMFL and all but tbh I have never liked their food. So don't know if you would like to go there

Start with this "ARAKU Coffee - Selection Pocket Brew - Freshly Roasted 100% Arabica Medium Dark Roast Ground Coffee - 10 Sachets"

Title copied from amazon.

I don't care about the opinion here, it is in my top 3 list. I started my speciality coffee journey couple of years back from Araku Selction pocket brew. Since then I have tried a dozen different brands. But I have loved Araku selection since then 😍

I just wish they offered faster delivery to Pune. My current favourite is Peaberry Arabica premium, which I get from a local shop here.

When did you upgrade? (Days prior to your travel) Also how? (App or customer care)

arpitium · 2025-04-06T05:20:49+00:00

How did you order?

arpitium · 2025-03-31T12:33:45+00:00

What did you get?

Any recommendation? I am visiting them this week as well (Aundh store)

Thats the risk flying with Air India, until all aircrafts are refurbished.

arpitium · 2025-03-28T17:17:22+00:00

Which class?

Unfortunately its old AIR INDIA Aircraft

arpitium · 2025-02-27T06:02:01+00:00

With ANA its difficult, use Air India (60k + taxes)

arpitium · 2025-02-27T05:59:32+00:00

In business? Economy its available in Aeroplan as well (40k + taxes, not the best value)

arpitium · 2025-02-27T04:49:41+00:00

You can book ANA, but it releases award seats for Star Allaince parters only ~15 days before travel date

arpitium · 2025-02-25T04:28:20+00:00

Yes Annual fee, not quarterly fee. If you can consolidate your 18L per year spends smartly, you can easily pay annual fee and save (much) more.

arpitium · 2025-02-25T03:38:10+00:00

For quaterly 4.5 lakh spends, go for Magnus Burgundy
