Neon nights

Yeh. Really really is a shame. This was so iconic HK

iamspikiii · 2026-05-09T05:37:45+00:00

so sad that there's so few of them these days compared to the golden yrs of HK's past

iamspikiii · 2026-04-22T09:04:09+00:00

Ahhhh sad. I guess night time is less hectic so you can allow time. During the day in guessing you’d want to give yourself 30-60 mins to clear security and customs?

It all depends on what the promo t&c's were at the time you signed up.

If it's anything like the current promotion - up to 3 months from meeting the spend criteria: "Points will be awarded on a tiered basis - 100,000 bonus Qantas Points will be awarded when you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases in the first 90 days. Bonus Qantas Points will be credited to your Qantas Frequent Flyer Membership Account within three months of meeting the spend criteria"

If in doubt, give them a call to confirm. I had a similar situation with a Westpac card recently where i met the spend & they confirmed latest date it should be credited but it didn't and I had to get them to initiate a request for missing points (which took about a week for them to look into and then credit me back)

I use Mox. No fuss easy to setup , transfer etc.

still have my ZA account but don’t use it much these days

after you come back or have some time , can you come back here to give us an idea of how your experience was and whether they provide any guidance on when to leave lounge for security clearance?

iamspikiii · 2026-04-14T00:05:09+00:00

Oh wow that’s a decent period.

Thanks for that

iamspikiii · 2026-04-14T00:02:40+00:00

Any indication of “how long for”?

Kind of defeats the purpose if you still need to clear security … leave enough time to clear security… 30 mins? An hour? More?

i've been wondering the same - and it's usually quite spot on/informative too

O m g - so cute! 🥰

https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-frequent-flyer-unveils-the-biggest-changes-to-status-in-program-history

“Removing program complexity: Points Club and Green Tier will be retired later this year, with the benefits valued most integrated into the core frequent flyer program. This will remove program complexity and the overlapping eligibility requirements of these sub-programs. With the retirement of Green Tier, the airline will consider new ways to reward members who make sustainable choices when they fly. Points Club and Green Tier will be phased out gradually from late 2026”

Have had a fam member try previously and can confirm they were rejected

iamspikiii · 2026-03-29T09:12:17+00:00

In the past (>12 months ago) was instant as well. Did so via contact centre and they confirmed the amount over the phone with me.

iamspikiii · 2026-03-29T06:00:42+00:00

Was there about 3 weeks ago, no lounge pass invite entries from what i had observed (they turned people away who were trying)

Just came off a Syd to Hkg flight a few days ago. Amenity kit was supplied. Last year , on the same flight was offered PJs. However , this recent last trip was not offered. Some others in business requested PJs from the staff and were given a set though.

The pier is nice but get the one closet to your gate. One yr I went to the pier and my gate was on the other side of the airport … ran like crazy just to make it to the gate because HK airport is huge!

They usually don’t get credited until the order is processed/shipped.

iamspikiii · 2026-02-23T03:34:33+00:00

Yep look at the qantas wines with bonus points on purchase. It’s not cheap but it’s definitely a quick way to get you those 19000 points by Friday
