New InterContinental opens in Ljubljana

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

InterContinental has confirmed the opening of a brand new hotel in Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana at the end of the month.

Looking at the pictures on the hotel website the interior looks amazing.

This will probably turn out to be a smart move from InterContinental as Ljubljana lacks major international hotel chains at present. The hotel is located close to the train station and a 10 – 15 minute walk from the old town (photo below).

The InterContinental Ljubljana looks like a very good points redemption. Superior Rooms cost around €225 per night for cash or just 35,000 points. An IHG hotel with £200 rooms would normally be around 50,000 points per night.

Rooms can be booked now for stays from 31st August 2017. The booking page is here.

OT but just got an e-mail from Norwegian talking about a new Lounge they have called Clubrooms, I wonder will that mean premium passangers will use that one rather than the No1 Lounge.

OT – Do we know how long it takes for IHG to give the free night? My wife and I both applied at the same time and she has got hers but mine hasn’t shown up yet.

Thanks

It wouldn’t surprise me if one day these airlines start charging £25 to go to the toilet.

OT: Well I am an idiot and have booked two cash Economy tickets with AA from Kauai to LAX hoping I could upgrade to Business with miles later on.

There’s no availability now so I’m stuck with 32000 useless AA miles off MBNA signup and spending.

Should I keep the card and hope to be able to redeem them in the future via Etihad, for example?

Yeah I know, I should’ve realised upgrades with miles are subject to reward seats availability like BA (and I guess everyone else?)

You can use my case as the perfect opposite example to Liz’s planning skills 🙁

  Try calling CS when it gets closer to departure because if they oversell Y you might find they are happy to take your miles for an upgrade if there is any F seats left. At the end of the day the flight’s not that long so no great hardship to sit in Y.

Team hfp. Can I upgrade a flight with avios which I booked into economy via amex travel? Availability showing. Any experience? Do I call BA or Amex Travel? Thank you
- Rob says:

  Depends which booking class it goes into – only certain sub-categories of ticket can be upgraded. Off the top of my head I don’t know the exact ones but they are on ba.com. It is unlikely that a very cheap economy ticket can be upgraded and in any event you’d need World Traveller Plus availability for Avios redemption which is often tricky to find.
  
  Bottom line, though, is that travel agent tickets can now be upgraded as long as they are in the right booking class.

    Thanks rob. Messages crossed. Q, O and G fares are the ones that don’t upgrade.

    At the last BAEC devaluation I understood that one of the pluses was that much more cheap booking classes would become uogradeable later that year. Did that ever happen?

  Ignore. I resorted to the traditional approach of reading the readily available t and cs rather than the lazy throw out query to the forum.
  
  (No, in my case, because of the booking class O)
