psydude posted:How does one get a TSA SSSS search? I thought it only applied to inbound international flights? I've seen TSA SSSS from extremely late bookings, one-way trips, and a coworker who had a name that was similar to someone on a no-fly list. After a few scares, we eventually built in an hour for TSA nonsense into our travel schedules on his behalf.

Warbird posted:You all might have some insight on this. Folks at my firm get a company AmEx gold for business expenses. Apparently you can upgrade to an Amex Diamond or whatever after a year or two. What’s the benefit there? More points? My understanding is that limits don’t figure into things. Amex plat gets you into the Bruichladdich z0ne (“Centurion Club”) at a few airports.

Tab8715 posted:Connecting it to the exiting LA metro would help so drat much. It’s only a few miles away and how they didn’t do this originally is crazy. There are so many cities with really good trains that don't have all their airline airports hooked up to it, just completely confounding. Berlin and New York come to mind. We only got trains to MIA in 2012, but it's great if you're in a transit catchment area and have a mid-morning flight. The connection from Manhattan to JFK isn't great but it's better than the Berlin Tegel bus. Is the plan for LAX to eventually have a people mover between the terminal landsides, the ride sharing lot, and the nearby transit station?

I check bags often and while I’m familiar with the TSA love letter, I’ve had bags delayed a day (that Delta fire in August 2016), and occasionally my luggage has been damaged, I’ve never had anything go missing.

TheWevel posted:How do you herberts charge your iPhones and Apple watches in a hotel? Am I at the point where I need to get a travel power strip? I've got a USB C/USB A charger with a bunch of ports: https://amzn.to/34tBkG0 ; it's not going to run a 15" MBP in direct sunlight, but it charges while closed well enough. Works great with the Switch even if you've just boarded a transatlantic flight with a dead battery. Thinking of trying one of those fancy gallium nitride chargers that has more power in less size. One thing I plug in is a power bank that charges the Apple Watch: https://www.elevationlab.com/products/battery-pro-for-iphone-apple-watch. It fits in a coat pocket or basically any day bag (including a really tiny one I got at cccamp2019) if I'm going to need to charge my phone on a given day. It can charge the watch for a week or so, phone a few times. On the hotel nightstand, it's kind of an awkward pile with the power bank on top of the charger brick since some watch bands have to go around the charger.

Waroduce posted:Do you fly out of MIA most of the time though or out of FTL? I'm also a little concerned about adding another point of failure to itinerary (a connection and new plane) but I guess like MIA/FTL to ATL is probably pretty consistent as you say. I’ve only flown out of FLL when it was necessary to get on the DTW trans-pacific flights. If I’m not paying, they’re paying for MIA.

Compared to my last DC trip, where I scored a hotel on the same block as the meetings.

Thomamelas posted:Sell it then. The cases are amazing if you need to move poo poo that just can't be given the kind of beating baggage handlers routinely deal out. But even the airs are going to be heavier then any modern luggage. And they won't store as much stuff. Also they pretty much have to be checked. I'm doubtful either Pelican model you mentioned would fit in an overhead bin. There’s a carry-on one I’ve used to move computers around a few times, but that’s all I use it for. For stuff that isn’t fragile it’s strictly worse than a Patagonia MLC.

DJCobol posted:For whatever reason in our setup, changing the sliders doesn't get rid of the exception notification. I actually have to change the search times, but that's easy enough to do. Yeah, the sliders are display filters, not query filters. What you want is to make the ±hours drop down next to your entered time as small as possible, perhaps using web inspector or grease monkey. That’s a query filter, so it gets applied before it looks for the cheapest option in the set it matches.
