  Much as I love the Corinthia, a discounted rate of over GBP600 for an entry level room (lovely as it is) in June just seems excessive. Hard to believe their standard rate for that room is over GBP1000 per night.

  This is not the first One World lounge. There was one in ZRH for several years, which has since become the Aspire lounge. That was the first.

    What about the OneWorld LAX Lounge? That’s been in place for years.

    • Rob says:

      oneworld don’t run it. It is just a branding thing.

        Thanks for amending the title so it’s clearer.

  OT- T4 Skyteam gets a mention here, but what are the reports on the ground like for breakfast? Should I choose the Plaza Premium instead?

  • n_g says:

    23 Dec23 December 07:36

    I usually go to the Plaza Premium for the food and the SkyTeam Lounge for the selection of alcohol so if it’s an early flight it would be PP for me.

  The Harrods offers on my AmEx doesn’t seem to double up. Only the £30 of £100 has triggered after spending £100. The £20 off £100 doesn’t appear to have triggered.

• Newbie A says:

  OT: Has anyone else also stopped receiving their extra avios from the amex offer of an extra avios for every £4 spending? The last set of extra points I got was from the 14th Dec, and the offer is meant to go on till 27th Dec I think.

  • Neil Donoghue says:

    23 Dec23 December 07:50

    Yes, the last points I received were on the 15th as well! Great spot…I will contact customer service today. My Shop small offers all dropped out on the 19th but I still received the emails over the weekend when making new purchases. Perhaps the IT department have gone on holidays early

  • Gavin says:

    23 Dec23 December 07:54

    My last was on the 15th too, and it appears that not all transactions got the bonus which should have done.

    Also the majority (8 out of 10) of my shop small credits did not track this year!

  • NvT1115 says:

    23 Dec23 December 08:02

    Yes – mine stopped posting as well. I assumed there may have been a spending limit but looking back that is not clear in T&Cs

    • Neil Donoghue says:

      23 Dec23 December 08:05

      T&C’s are pretty vague on this offer. We have until the 27th though so hopefully they will post the remaining bonus in one big batch once the offer expires.

  • NvT1115 says:

    23 Dec23 December 08:32

    Have been informed by AMEX CS that the bonus will appear again when the Avios sweep across to your BAEC next month on the usual day. There is no upper spend cap and offer still valid to 27th Dec

    • Neil Donoghue says:

      Thank you!

    I’ve still not had 2 x 1000 bonus avios from the Laithwaite’s wine offer on BA blue and BAPP. I think it must be an avios issue as the £10 credit for a supermarket spend posted to SPG immediately the same week.

    • RussellH says:

      23 Dec23 December 18:32

      +1

      Amex chat promised me mine “within the next 5-7 days”. That was a week ago.
      They also said they could see the avios pending to credit dating back to 11 Dec.
      Something very odd going on.

  The business class lounge at LAX is branded as One World Business Lounge.

  • Edd M says:

    23 Dec23 December 08:04

    It’s branded Oneworld but I think managed by Qantas (hence the decor) so my understanding is it’s not a true alliance operated lounge

    • Andrew says:

      23 Dec23 December 08:31

      Although the title of this article says “first One World branded lounge” – hence my comment

    • Rhys says:

      23 Dec23 December 08:42

      This is correct

      • Andrew says:

        23 Dec23 December 09:28

        What is correct – that this is the first One World branded lounge or LAX was? The One World website confirms the name of the LAX lounge to be One World Business Lounge. Regardless of who operates it, it’s branded as One World.

        • Rhys says:

          23 Dec23 December 09:43

          Moscow will be the first branded and operated oneworld lounge.

  • Nick_C says:

    23 Dec23 December 09:32

    I made the same point on here some time ago. LAX/TBIT has been branded as a One World Lounge on the OW website for at least three years. The logos at the entrance are for Qantas, Cathay, and BA in that order. Nothing else to suggest it is actually a Qantas lounge.

      It isn’t a Qantas lounge per se. It is managed by Qantas on behalf of BA, Cathay and Qantas.

        We used this lounge in June and had a nice 3 hours there. The food was excellent and there is a good choice of beers and some nice quiet spots to have a snooze. It wasn’t anywhere near full the whole time we were there which made a nice change from LHR

  Stayed at the Corinthia Malta a few years ago with GHA Plat (BT) – booked a basic room and was upgraded to a suite with large terrace. OK it’s no Corinthia London (or frankly as nice as its sister GHA, the Kempinski on Gozo) but it was ideal for a few days holiday exploring this gorgeous island.

  OT but bits. We would like to pool our miles for a family redemption on Virgin.There was some talk here that this is possible? No status, just credit card earners. Or is it possible to transfer my amex rewards points to my wife’s virgin account (same last name, address)?

  • jimA says:

    23 Dec23 December 08:30

    IIRC if you call to book then they will be helpful with pooling of points

  • Rob says:

    23 Dec23 December 09:50

    Ring Virgin and they will do the booking. An Amex transfer to your wife SHOULD fail but you never know, depends if they just do surname verification.

  • koroleon says:

    23 Dec23 December 10:33

    Thank you both for the replies. I’ll transfer the points to my virgin account and call them for the booking – I remember reading about it here before but I didn’t know if it still works.
