If anyone is looking for a Qantas award flight back to the U.S. in business, BNE-MEL-SFO is available on May 25 and 27 and BNE-LAX-SFO is available on May 27 and 28. Haven't checked past the 28th.

Tomorrows QF $100 each way Birthday sale is ORD-BNE for OZ Fest dates. I'll probably be too busy to go online but its the last chance. If you are one of the lucky ones that can get through on the crashing website.

Does anybody know what the current status is of breakfasts for Honors Gold at the Hilton? I've dropped to a lowly Gold and my only stays there had been as Diamond where it was comp full buffet or the lounge. The Hilton breakfast thread indicates continental only with a $10 charge for full buffet but that's from 2016.
If it's like last year in Sydney I didn't even get an upgrade as a Diamond as I only stayed there for the Sat night as it was chokka with so many US Diamond members so don't want to rely on getting a lounge breakfast as an exec floor room obviously isn't guaranteed and the room rate with breakfast isn't bad right now.

Sadly, I need to drop to Bronze. I need to be in Israel during those dates. Hopefully I can join the 2021 Oz Fest.
I just released a J award SFO-SYD on UA, so hopefully UA makes it available.
