With all of the RBA changes coming into effect from tomorrow, and many of the banks clawing back benefits, if you rely on credit card travel insurance when you travel, it's worth revisiting what your bank or card provider is offering from 1 October to ensure you don't leave yourself exposed with none or inadequate cover for your needs.

If your card provider has removed travel insurance, speak to your Premium Flyer advisor about setting up an annual policy with one of our vetted insurance partners, which allows you to set and forget for an entire year of travel adventures.

If F1 is your hot button and you've yet to tick off Monaco, Explora's Monaco F1 sailings is the way to do it, with a front row setting mixed with the calm and refined hospitality onboard.

After their 2026 Monaco F1 sailing sold out in record time, Explora Journeys will release their 2027 departure for bookings from 21 September.

As the only ship permanently moored in Monaco during the F1, there's no better way to experience it with a cruise line that is really making waves (pun intended) with their exceptional onboard experience.

If you've had Monaco F1 on your bucket list since you were ten and are keen to tick it off, speak to your Cruise Advisors cruise concierge today to ensure you get first pick of suites when bookings open.

Keeping you, your things and your data secure when travelling is always something clients ask us about, here are my top 5 favourite products I personally use when travelling.

𝟭. 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴

Pacsafe make some fantastic products, they're made to prevent them being cut and are RFID protected. Carrying a backpack on your front screams tourist, I personally prefer their micro sling, big enough to carry my phone, wallet and passport but small enough to be comfortably carried on my front.

𝟮. 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽

Phone theft is a massive problem in some countries and there's a rise in opportunistic snatching of phones from scooters or bikes.

This strap will keep your phone secure when you're taking photos or checking directions.

𝟯. 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲

Especially useful when you find yourself needing to use a public charger, it ensures the juice can get in but no data can get out and protects you from compromised charging points where your data could otherwise be hacked.

𝟰. 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝗴 𝗟𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗺

This little beauty combined Apple Air Tag technology and an alarm in a rechargable device. It allows you to activate the device on the iphone app (sorry no Android option currently) and will set off an ear piercing alarm if someone so much as touches it (it also has a silent alarm that triggers on your phone only).

While it's great for your checked luggage, I especially love it on my hand luggage for that extra piece of mind when leaving it momentarily to clean out the buffet in airport lounges.

𝟱. 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘂 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸

Iniu's power banks keep shrinking in size but pack a punch when it comes to charging, and makes it perfect for carrying on the go when travelling to ensure you can always keep your phone from going flat.

With over 2500 partner hotels across the globe where you can travel like a VIP instead of as a number, there's not many parts of the world we can't add exclusive amenities to your stay.

With full status accrual and benefits, plus an upgrade, breakfast, food & beverage credit and more, it just makes more sense to stay on our rates than it is to book direct or online.

To book your next partner hotel stay, speak to your Premium Flyer advisor, and if you're new to PF, reach out and connect, we'd love to chat to see if we're the right fit for your travel.

Just 15 minutes from Como town, Passalacqua, a private home since 1787, has been transformed into a beautiful bucket list worthy hotel.

Each of the 24 unique accommodations, housed either in the grand Villa, the ancient Palazz or the romantic Casa al Lago, embodies the enviable lakeside lifestyle that has made Lake Como so beloved through the ages.

The mansion boasts seven acres of lush gardens across eight scenic terraces leading down to the lake shore, its mature trees and stately palms framing the blue expanse sparkling below, guests can enjoy a panoramic swimming pool, an open-air gym in the olive grove, a lakeside tennis court, movie nights under the stars and much more.

As with all of our partner hotels, Premium Flyer clients receive additional exclusive VIP Amenities with their stay, but be quick, this property sells out during peak season well ahead of time.

Back in the office after an amazing 3 weeks in Nepal trekking to Everest Base Camp.

It was both one of the hardest thing I've ever done and one of the most satisfying, I can't wait to share more of the incredible journey with you.

If you've ever wanted to do something similar, our preferred destination specialist who we've been working with for 22 years, is looking forward to showing you the same warm welcome to Nepal and The Himalayas as we received.

Thanks to my wonderful clients for their patience during this extended absence, and big thanks to the amazing Harriet for providing support to all of them while I was out of contact.
