What airline do you usually fly? How many miles have you ever earned in a year? What's the coolest place you used miles to get to? Seconding Austin as being one of my favorite airports. They actually have live music most weekdays inside the terminal.

I've had nothing but great experiences with AirBnB, but I've also always done the whole apartment and not just a room. Much cheaper and better arrangement in my experience.

Also since you'll be abroad, make sure to get a personal credit card with no foreign exchange fees.

Also in case you decide to stay longer to do sightseeing or piggyback other travel while you're already overseas.

caberham posted:Man that's the only reason why I like domestic air travel in China. Every leg is already considered as one way so you just pay as you go. With the enormous pool of people flying air travel is cheap. That was a memorable part of my China trip, was being in a completely packed 777 with just economy seating, even though there were flights every half hour to Shanghai.

Not if the value is getting to go on a trip you may not otherwise have been able to afford. I use a lot of my miles on coach with no regrets. I'll take 2 awesome trips over getting to sit slightly more comfortably for 8 hours one way. I love business class and all, but it seems more like a pissing contest sometimes that loses sight of the point of travel for fun.

I literally spent more time parking and getting to the terminal than I did inside the terminal. It seems mostly a check to ensure you're a real physical person.

I've used that and Priceline before with good success and significant savings. Use http://www.betterbidding.com to figure out what the going rate is and guess what hotel you may get in a particular area. Priceline is particularly good at getting much cheap rental cars.

pig slut lisa posted:This was a couple days ago, but somehow my wife got a same day change to an earlier United flight MCO-ORD simply by asking. No status (not even a MileagePlus account), no weather or other ops issues, no sob story, no fee, just...asked and received. How unusual is this for UA? Maybe they overbooked her original flight so she was essentially doing UA a favor. But goes to show that it never hurts to ask.

Yeah, they may have had the right, but it's poo poo customer service. They should have picked someone else and/or paid way more to get someone else to volunteer. Though I'm also surprised that no one volunteered for $800 plus hotel plus meals. I've volunteered for less.

Thomamelas posted:It's helped a little with the crowd of people who swarm the gate when they had group 2 printed on their boarding pass not realizing there were five unnumbered groups before hand. Except at CLT which still seems to have big issues with people swarming the gate and shutting down the hallway there. This is why I prefer Southwest's method of boarding. It's by far the most orderly and doesn't end up with a giant cluster gently caress of people crowding each other out at the gate. I wish every airline did it like that.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:no assigned seats can suck a thousand loving dicks I'm genuinely curious, why? I prefer window and have always gotten it every time I've flown Southwest. And if you're picky you can pay the $15 for early bird to essentially have your choice of seats, versus the up to $85 it takes to pick a seat on the legacy carriers, assuming a non middle seat is even available by the time you buy a ticket. Also by picking your seat as you board you can avoid "large" passengers and babies/kids kicking your seat.

Last year I was at Treasure Island and got there early to setup the demos.

Meals under 25 I don't have to expense, and never had issues with anything over (though I've never gone crazy (greater than $75) with that. And just Lyft for all car travel as I'm almost always on a single site all day.

psydude posted:I'm partial to the AA flagship lounge at JFK, although the one at ORD is indeed nice. The Cathy first class lounge at HKG blew my drat mind. I still can't believe that the best bath of my life and one of my favorite meals ever was at an airport. The flight isn't worth the points over business but the lounge still makes me consider it again even after the devaluation.

I've got Business and first class reward flights all over Asia for June for my honeymoon. Nothing in mainland China at least, but transitioning through Hong Kong. So I'm really hoping things are better before I have to make a decision and probably lose those flights. Get it together China!

pig slut lisa posted:Congrats! Will this be your first time up front? My wife and I have done Cathay, Korean, ANA, and EVA premium classes on a few different trips and it's so much fun. I've been lucky enough to do Cathay business and first already, and for this trip we have Singapore Air business class for hopping between cities, and then I'm most looking forward to JAL first on the way back. I had to plan 331 days ahead of time at 2 in the morning to snag that flight so it'll suck to miss out now, but dying sucks even more... so it is what it is. We'll see how it is in May, hopefully the number of infected starts to go down instead of increasing every day like it is currently.
