After customer feedback, low-cost carrier Bonza has launched a new website that allows flyers to make bookings.
Travellers can use the new website to book flights and Bonza
Holiday packages,
which include flights, baggage, accommodation and the option to add travel insurance, car hire or airport transfers.
Prior to the new website, Bonza customers could only book flights on the carrier’s app. The first airline globally to prioritise app
bookings, the airline says its Fly Bonza app has been downloaded over 1.8 million times since launching just over a year ago.
. it will continue to be the only way to check in, obtain boarding passes, make menu purchases and enjoy entertainment onboard.
The airline’s new website lets customers book tailored package holidays to any of their 21 destinations, with activities and attractions
also coming soon. Each Bonza Holiday package includes a 23kg checked bag, 8kg hand luggage and standard ‘Pick’ seats.
Plus, the carrier offers a price match guarantee, in which it will refund the difference if customers find a cheaper holiday within 24 hours
of booking.
In February, the airline announced it would link the Sunshine Coast and Tasmania for the first time.
Apparently the demand for the ability to book via a website was a critical part of flyer feedback to Bonza. Well done
Bonza for being responsive to its customer's requests !
I hope this initiative results in even greater support for this low-cost airline.

Qatar Airways Holidays launch fan packages for the Formula 1
Qatar Airways, the Global Partner and Official Airline of F1, in partnership with Qatar Airways Holidays, announced on 19 February the
launch of its fan packages for the upcoming FIA Formula One World Championship.
The packages allow fans travelling from more than 40 countries to be up-close to high-octane action and enjoy unique experiences.
From the beginning to end of their journey, the packages are designed for fans to enjoy a seamless motorsport extravaganza, with the inclusion of return flights, hotel accommodation, F1 Paddock Club or Grandstand race tickets, and return airport transfers for all
global races (excluding Qatar).
Packages are available for purchase at: qatarairways.com/f1.
Similar to the inaugural packages, this year’s fan packages include an array of flexible and competitively priced options for select
F1® 2024 race destinations.
This year, fans are also encouraged to experience guided track tours, pit lane walks and more with the F1® Paddock Club™ packages, featuring
savings of up to 20 per cent on global race packages.
One of the best spots to watch the action, offering world-class cuisine and free-flowing beverages, the Paddock Club™ is the
pinnacle of F1® hospitality.
Qatar Airways Privilege Club members
In addition, Qatar Airways Privilege Club members can collect Avios and Qpoints on all fan packages, accumulating rewards to use towards
future travel and experiences while helping them retain and quickly reach their next tier.
Members can also purchase their package using Cash + Avios.
Alternatively, members can bid for the packages using Avios. How will the Formula 1 deals work?
Packages have been secured for the following races:
Melbourne Grand Prix, 24th March (now open for bidding)
Miami Grand Prix, 5th May
Monaco Grand Prix, 26th May
British Grand Prix, 7th July
Las Vegas Grand Prix, 24th November
Qatar Grand Prix, 1st December
The Privilege Club Collection website is only open for bidding on the Melbourne Grand Prix at the moment, so we don’t know exactly what will
be available for each race.
However, each package will include two Paddock Club™ VIP passes and hotel accommodationfor the entire
race period, usually three days.
Paddock Club is the highest level of hospitality available and includes track tours and pit lane walks.
How can you bid for Privilege Club experiences?
Privilege Club Collection will eventually have a mix of ‘buy it now’ and auction experiences, although everything currently listed is for
auction.
Here are two very important points to note:
(1) You must have Avios in a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account before you can bid. It is NOT good enough to have
Avios in say a British Airways Executive Club account which is linked to your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account. You must have physically
moved Avios across to your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account.
(One snag here is that you can’t use the entire balance of a British Airways Executive Club household account to bid. The only Avios you can
move into a Qatar Airways Privilege Club account are those in your own personal account. If you have 200,000 Avios and your
partner has 50,000 Avios to give you a household balance of 150,000 Avios, the most you could use to bid for a single Privilege Club
Collection auction is 200,000 – ie your own balance.)
(2) You must have enough Avios in your Qatar Airways Privilege Club account to match your maximum bid. You cannot bid
more than your current Avios balance, and you cannot set a future auto-bid which is higher than your balance. Transfers are free, instant
and can be reversed at any time.
Travellers passing through Melbourne Airport can now access short stays with use of amentities.
Travellers passing through Melbourne Airport, Australia’s busiest 24/7 hub, now have instant access to hourly hotel stays.
Following it's recent refurbishment, the PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport, the only hotel connected to the domestic and international terminals via a sky-bridge, is now offering short-stay hourly accommodation..
Bookable online or by phone, short stays at the hotel are available in three, five and eight-hour blocks, from $109, $119 and
$149 respectively
– significantly less than rooms at nightly rates.
Whether it’s to catch up on some sleep, freshen up or just chill for a few hours, travellers can access newly refurbished rooms with city
or airport views, a 24-hour gymnasium, heated indoor pool, spa, sauna and steam room.
Other amenities include the modern Australian restaurant, Airo, the casual Airo Café for coffee and light snacks, and Airo Bar for boutique
beers, regional wines and specialty cocktails (and no doubt conversation with fellow flyers).
The suites and family rooms are a great idea for families travelling at hours that little ones do not cope well with, or after long
international flights with broken sleep, enabling you to refresh prior to moving on more refreshed.

Bali imposes tourist tax from Valentines Day 2024
A tourist tax of 150,000 Indonesian Rupiah (approx GBP 8 or USD 12) oer person has been introduced for foreign travellers to Bali effective
from 14 February 2024..
The levy aims to raise funds to protect the culture and natural environment of the Indonesian island.
A ‘Love Bali’ initiative by the island’s provincial government has created a development plan to be funded by the tax.
“The goal is to preserve the integrity and balance of Bali’s nature, its people, and their culture,” a statement said.
“As a form of support that aims to protect the customs, traditions, arts and culture, and local wisdom of the Balinese people, Bali will
impose [a] levy for the international tourist.
“Efforts and innovations will continue to be made for maintenance the culture and the natural environment in Bali. There will also continue
to be an improvement in the quality of services.”
The levy is described “as a form of support, towards the efforts to preserve the nature and culture of Bali”.
It comes as the regional authority continues to make “various progressive efforts and innovations related to improving Bali’s quality of the
nature and culture through preservation, conservation and revitalisation.”
The proceeds will also go towards improving “the quality of services, safety, and comfort of tourists, by developing land, sea and air
infrastructure in an integrated and connected manner”.
Payment can be made online or on arrival at designated payment counters at Bali’s airport and seaport.

Virgin Australia adds 17 regional domestic routes
A new agreement with Link Airways will see Virgin Australia grow its regional footprint by 45 per cent - 90 new flights on 17 domestic
routes
The partnership will benefit Velocity Frequent Flyer’s nearly 12 million members, allowing them to earn Points and Status Credits on

currently serviced by any other major airline" stated Virgin Australia Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Alistair Hartley

Marriott changes Bonvoy Suite Night Awards - and not only the name
Marriott Bonvoy has rolled out some changes to what were formerly known as Suite Night Awards.
Like other hotel chains, Marriott offers confirmable upgrades to elite members who've earned them. These allow guests to confirm an upgrade
on the room they've booked before check-in, which can be an extremely valuable benefit.
Now, however, Marriott Bonvoy has rolled out changes to what were formerly known as Suite Night Awards — giving them a new name
and adjusting how they work.
Here's everything you need to know about the updates and debut of Nightly Upgrade Awards.
Suite Night Awards Are Now Nightly Upgrade Awards
Now known as Nightly Upgrade Awards, Bonvoy members who earn Platinum Elite status can choose this benefit as an Annual
Choice Benefit. Doing so grants five Nightly Upgrade Awards, which can be used one night each to confirm an upgrade to a premium room or
better. The upgrade may or may not be to a suite, so the name change truthfully reflects what the benefit is good
for. Marriott elite members also can choose five more upgrade awards once they've reached Titanium Elite status. Some US-issued
credit cards associated with Marriott also provide what are now NUA's. But there's a bit more to the update than just a new name. There are
also a few more changes to make note of:
Nightly Upgrade Awards are usable at additional brands, including Aloft, EDITION, Element, Protea Hotels, and The
Ritz-Carlton. (1)
More room types are available for Nightly Upgrade Award redemptions.
Rooms will be confirmed three days in advance, rather than five.
20% more rooms are accessible for use with the Nightly Upgrade Award.
Is This a Positive Change?
There's an argument to be made for both sides when determining whether this is a positive change for members. Most of the time, when a
program makes a change to the benefits it offers, it's negative. And there are certainly some negative changes here.
Moving the confirmation date from five days before check-in to three days before check-in reduces the chance of an upgrade.
After all, this gives the hotel more time to sell these rooms before releasing them to you.
That said, many members struggled to use their Suite Night Awards, and they expired unused. Adding more inventory for upgrades — even if
it's not as nice of an upgrade as you'd hope — is certainly better than letting the awards expire.
This definitely can make a difference in elite-heavy destinations like Hawaii, where an upgrade to an oceanfront room with a balcony
wouldn't necessarily be a “suite” but a palatable “premium” room.
Our Thoughts
We don't usually like it when loyalty programs make changes — especially since they tend to be bad for the member and the term
"Bonvoyed" wasn't coined for nothing..
But in this case, Marriott Bonvoy changing its Suite Night Awards to Nightly Upgrade Awards is a mixed bag. More brands (especially
Ritz-Carlton) and the increase in room types and numbers are certainly welcome changes. But limiting confirmed upgrades to just
three days in advance (rather than the current 5 days) will reduce the chances of the upgrade being available at any of the more popular
properties or during periods of high demand..
Swings and roundabouts.
Footnotes:
(1) NUA's can be used at all Bonvoy participating properties except:
All-Inclusive Resorts
Bulgari
Design Hotels
Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy®
Marriott Executive Apartments
Marriott Vacation Club
Marriott Grand Residence Club
The Ritz-Carlton Club
Ritz-Carlton Reserve
The Ritz-Carlton Residences
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Kimpton Secret Password - Jan/Feb 2024
Kimpton Hotels have a funky boutique hotel brand image. One of many aspects of its charm is the Kimpton secret password that
guests can mention at check-in to get a perk, benefit, or bonus.
This (northern) Winter, Kimpton Hotels is using the secret password "Chalet all day.” It is valid at all
participating locations until February 29th, 2024. Kimpton Hotels have stated that every hotel honors the secret
password differently, so it's a surprise what you'll get.
Secret Password Perks You May Receive
Historically, guests have reported a wide range of bonuses when using the Kimpton Hotels' secret password. Here are some
examples:
Free parking (regular or valet)
Complimentary breakfast
Free upgrade
Complimentary bottle of wine
Free food & beverage credits
A whisky-tasting tour
Cupcakes
A movie night in your room
Free drinks at the bar
Surprise gift-wrapped presents
Drink kits (like Bailey's hot chocolate)
Mini-bar credit
The bonuses aren't always at the hotel, as some hotels have partnered with other companies. For example, such as another restaurant or
perhaps a whisky distillery. It's nice to see the Kimpton secret password is back. It's just a little thing, but
adds to the vibe of the Kimpton brand, which I like.
The Melbourne-Sydney route is the 5th busiest in the world, according to data from OAG.
There were 9,342,312 two-way trips completed on the MEL-SYD route, during 2023. This was a reduction by 6% from 2022 numbers.
The busiest route globally is once again between Seoul’s Gimpo Airport (GMP) and Jeju (CJU) off the coast of the Korean Peninsula.
The second- and third-busiest routes are both Japanese domestic flights, with Hokkaido’s Chitose Airport (CTS)-Tokyo Haneda International
Airport (HND) taking second on 11.9 million seats, followed by Fukuoka (FUK)-Tokyo Haneda with 11.3 million seats.
Hanoi (HAN) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) is the fourth-busiest route globally with 10.9 million seats.
There were no international routes in the top 10.
For the international routes, 9 of the top 10 busiest routes were lin Asia. The only route in the top 10 international routes not to involve
an origin or destination in the Asia-Pacific or Middle East regions was between New York John F. Kennedy International Airport and
London Heathrow Airport (JFK-LHR), which ranks as the eighth busiest.
With so many people travelling on flights during the festive season and the rush to get to destinations, it is easy for your luggage to be misplaced (or stolen)..
Luggage tags used to be a good idea, but these days than can be examined by unscrupulous people to identify homes that may be empty and
provide opportunity for theft.
Tracking devices work well in helping you locate an item that is misplaced, but have batteries than can run down. They also can alert people to your own location (not always wanted) and are easily removed by thieves who rummage through stolen luggage and take only what they
want (your valuables). Trackers also do not help people who find your luggage to reach out to you to help return it to you.
A new tool helps people to find owners of misplaced luggage, without revealing the owners' location.
Retreev is a luggage tag that instead of showing your address details, has a QR code that can be scanned by the finder of
the luggage (or a lost and found) then contacts Retreev, who then contacts you. so you can arrange to collect your luggage while your
privacy is protected.
While it won't stop thieves from taking your luggage, it can help you retrieve it - hopefully not stolen, but intact and from a good
samaritan or the lost-and-found department of an airline or airport.
There are no batteries and no subscription fees - just a one-off purchase price. We like this idea and are
promoting it through ourRetreev affiliate linkwhich
provides you with a 15% discount sitewide. There are 35 variations that add a little fun personalisation to your tag.
The company that owns the property was placed into administration on 1 December 2023 and since then Virgin has been unable to negotiate a
solution with the administrator that would keep the hotel running.
No other Virgin hotel is impacted – all other Virgin Hotels remain open and operating as normal as all Virgin Hotels are independently
owned.
On the brighter side, in a statement released by Virgin Hotels on they say that "the Virgin Hotels team continues to have great
ambitions for managing the hotel in Glasgow and looks forward to re-opening once a new owner is in place".
We hope the closure will be a short one and the property will re-open sooner rather than later.
Our thoughts are with the staff and employees who are affected at this time.
We have no open bookings with our clients with the property, but for anyone else with immediate enquiries, you are asked to contactinfo.glasgow@virginhotels.com
Iberostar Beachside Resorts now bookable with IHG One Rewards
In june 2023, IHG Hotels & Resorts announced that Iberostar Beachfront Resorts would participate in the IHG One Rewards program. This
development meant earning points on Iberostar stays and applying elite benefits to all-inclusive stays.
At first glance, award rates are pretty steep. Cash rates for Iberostar properties are high, reflecting tr fact that the resorts are all-inclusive. Award redemption rates match; this is also likely a function of IHG's dynamic pricing model.
If one of these properties catches your eye but doesn't fit your budget, IHG does offer a Points
& Cash booking
option, which could take the sting of a stay at one of these resorts.
IHG One Rewards benefits at Iberostar properties
Not every Iberostar property participates in the IHG One Rewards program, but if you are a member and book any of the Iberostar
Beachfront Resorts participating in One Rewards you'll
enjoy the following benefits by booking through IHG’s websites, IHG Customer Care, Iberostar website, IberostarPro, or
directly with an IHG branded hotel.
Late check-out: Available to all members up to 2 p.m, subject to availability.
Free internet: Available for all IHG One Rewards members.
Other benefits associated with tier status are also honoured, including:
Early check-in: Subject to availability for Platinum and Diamond members.
Guaranteed room availability: Available for Platinum and Diamond Elite members.
Welcome amenity at check-in: Available for Platinum and Diamond Elite members as follows:
Platinum Elite members receive a $15 hotel credit or 600 IHG One Rewards points.
Diamond Elite members receive a $20 hotel credit or 600 IHG One Rewards points.
Priority check-in: Available at all participating hotels.
Our thoughts:
This is a great development for One Rewards members.One Rewards is a good program for accumulating points and now there are
attractive, all-inclusive options located in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico and the Caribbean.for redeeming those points. Just ensure
you are getting good value for your points.Our associated Travel AgencyRewarding Travelis an IberostarPro

Australian Passport price to jump 15%
The cost of a new Australian passport will reach nearly $400 next year after the Federal government announced a price increase in its
recent mid-year budget update.
From 1 July 2024, the cost of obtaining an Australian passport(already the most expensive passport among OECD nations) will rise by 15 per
cent.
The price hike is on top of a routine consumer price index rise, which if applied at September’s annual CPI rate of 5.4 per cent would see
the cost of an adult 10-year passport grow from $325 to about $394 in mid-2024, Australian Associated Press reported.
The government predicts the measure will raise $349 million over three years, with the extra funds to be redirected to other priorities
within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) portfolio.
It added that Australian passport holders currently enjoy visa-free access to over 100 countries.
“The Australian passport is respected internationally as a high-quality travel document … it has a high level of technological
sophistication, backed by rigorous anti-fraud measures, which ensures its integrity.”
News of the passport price rise follows the announcement of an increase in the Passenger Movement Charge (PMC) from $60 to $70 in
the Federal Budget earlier in 2023.
Our view
After years of suffering from travel restrictions, just as travel demand is starting to recover to pre_Covid levels, the Federal Government
has decided to slug international travellers with a price hike that is nearly 3x the rate of inflation.,This can only be
seen as price gouging by the goverment.
Sofitel Sydney Wentworth to undergo $60 million internal room redesign
New owners of the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel will spend $60 million on a transformation of the iconic semi-circular property which will
see its heritage retained whilst offering a state-of-the-art comfort and guest experience.
Work will begin in January 2024 and conclude at an as-yet undetermined point in 2Q2024, with all 436 guest rooms and suites
to be completely redesigned with new colours, furniture and technology to be installed.
The project’s objective is to offer guests greater comfort and style while maintaining the property’s distinctive heritage façade and feel.
In addition, the hotel’s corridors, club lounge and lobby will also be remodelled and updated, with owners also promising a “completely new
world class dining precinct” which will reenergise the hotel’s restaurant and bar offerings.
Sofitel Sydney Wentworth sits within the city’s first five-star hotel, which opened as the Wentworth Hotel in 1966 and with
its semi-circular footprint, has remained an iconic heritage feature of the city.
“The repositioning of the Sofitel will enhance the luxury services on offer and reinforce the value of the brand,” said.Sofitel Sydney
Wentworth General Manager, Sam Panetta.
Our view
The Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel is ideally placed in Sydney, within an easy 10 minute walk of luxury brand shopping (Martin Place),
transport (Wynyard Rail station), the Botanic Gardens and the ferries of Circular Quay. The Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and historic
Rocks area are all only a little further away.
The Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel participates in the Accor
Live Limitless
loyalty program and our associated travel agency Rewarding Travel is an
affiliate of Fora Travel Inc, a preferred partner and an accredited member of Accor
STEP.
