  Has anybody stayed at the new WA Maldives? Is it worth the extra 100,000 points over 5 nights than the conrad rangali?

  • John says:

    6 Sep6 September 07:18

    No, unless those points were free

    • Benilyn says:

      I have it booked, my only reason is that you get a private pool, you can decide if that is worth 100k

    Got friends staying at the WA that were at the Conrad when we did our visits. Will find out how they think it compares. Looking to go back in 2021, probably the Conrad for value and layout + reef

      Just got back from Conrad last week, a lot of regulars there had stayed ar WA too and did not like it, I think the general feel of both resorts is very different.

        Interesting, I actually thought that might be the feedback. Appreciate you letting us know, presumably you had a great stay at the CR, any changes or points to note?

  • John says:

    6 Sep6 September 07:17

    Yes

  Annoyingly Conrad Tokyo not on list. But I’ve had my hotel good luck this week booked Hilton Munich airport hotel for €430 checked back two days later when plans confirmed reduced to €219. Cancelled and rebooked.

  • Lumma says:

    How long are you staying at the airport for? A week?

    • Russ says:

      6 Sep6 September 20:24

      One of the better airport hotels. You can easily stay there for a week with the right company 🙂

  Getting really annoyed recently as I want to book Hilton Wangfujing (in Beijing) and the price on the online travel agents is so much cheaper than booking direct. I Emailed the hotel but got some looney price back that would be nearly £60 more expensive than direct as well

  Aybody know any ways around this. I understand Hilton do offer some price match scheme but reports I’ve read are not promising.

  • John says:

    Well then just use the OTA and foresake the points/status benefits. Or don’t, if they are worth more than the difference from booking on Hilton.

    • rob says:

      6 Sep6 September 13:50

      Yes it’s a huge toss up. Ideally wanted free brekkie and room upgrade with gold. Have previously found it really hard to find a breakfast I want to eat in Beijing. It’s just frusrating as I’m an holiday complex manager myself and if somebody Emails/rings to book direct we happilly offer them 5-10% below the OTA price.

        Having difficulty finding good food in China?! That’s new to me. Although if you are only after English breakfast, I’d understand why..

        • BJ says:

          My experience of food in HK has been woeful much go mh surprise. Best so far has been a owl of noodles from an old woman on the street. I know there has to be great food there, just cannot seem to find it.

        • Genghis says:

          6 Sep6 September 17:01

          Food in HK is fantastic. Food in Beijing, not so good IMO.

      • the_real_a says:

        6 Sep6 September 16:15

        I know exactly what you mean on food. I’m not a fan of savory porridge or chickens feet for breakfast. Also the coffee outside hotels is dire. Best to check the price for brekkie directly with the hotel since you might be surprised how cheap it is. Im sure you have checked, but does the OTA price include all taxes?

  • Kai says:

    6 Sep6 September 16:07

    If you are confident that the third party’s website is conform to Hilton’s BRG rules, I’ll give it a go as my previous BRG experiences with Hilton has been generally positive.

    We stayed at New World hotel shortly after it opened and I thought it was excellent. We paid a small amount daily for breakfast and lounge access, which was well worth it.

  • TokyoFan says:

    That’s a lovely hotel; stayed there last year. Great executive lounge on the top floor too overlooking the Forbidden City.

    As for food (not breakfast though) try the Crescent Moon restaurant for something different in Beijing. It’s hidden in a hutong and serves Uighur/Xinjiang muslim food. The lamb skewers are delicious!

  I’ve just had an email from Hilton saying I have re-qualified for Gold until March 2021 (presumably for CC spending) – however I’m fairly sure I hit the £10k threshold a couple of months ago, and can’t remember seeing one of those confirmation emails for a couple of years…

  • fivebobbill says:

    6 Sep6 September 10:14

    Me too Nick. I’ve held the Hilton card for 5 or 6 years now and the first time I’ve had an email from them confirming my Gold status extension was just a few weeks ago! A little late in the day, given I must have put at least 80k through the card since March!
    Just wish they would allow you to upgrade to Diamond through spend, we live in hope…

    • Liz says:

      6 Sep6 September 20:37

      Just checked hubby’s emails and he received an email today from Hilton saying as he is a Hilton Credit Card holder he will have Gold status as long as he holds the credit card. We just hit the £10k spend – Expected it to say Gold till March 2021.

      • fivebobbill says:

        6 Sep6 September 21:05

        Wow, interesting Liz, just checked mine again and it just says extended until March 21 🙁

  Presumably there are some missing words in the Hilton sale section (and no adblocker on this device)

  You need **to book** TODAY for stays until 29th February

  • Rhys says:

    Fixed, thanks!

• BSI1978 says:

  OT – how close to take-off are bassinet seats typically released on LH flights?

  • Shoestring says:

    6 Sep6 September 14:38

    FT says T-72 or lunchtime 3 days before your flight – but you need to call to get them as they (often) can’t be booked online
