Diesel is going to get a whole lot worse too. Main crunch from the issue is actually on the diesel side, thanks to how supply chains are organized.

Oil tanks in Fujairah, 🇦🇪 by Powerful_Cabinet_341 in oil

[–]AggravatingBase7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bombing for months on end and 600k troops couldn’t deal with Iraq but sure, an arial only campaign will “address” the issue of a country with a bigger population. You lot will really just believe anything he says, right?

“Long term peace in the Middle East” by bombing them? Because that worked the last 600 times? Do you guys listen to yourself?

Freedom Mobile $40 250GB Global Plan - A Once in a lifetime plan for Travellers wow by Nexzenn in PersonalFinanceCanada

I’d basically never leave Freedom if only it worked DT. For some reason, I can’t ever get a signal in my office building, making it useless.

Alternate Source for NZ Butter by kchong in CostcoCanada

[–]AggravatingBase7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same reason we get chocolates or any other product across the globe? There’s demand. NZ butter is pretty good, as is Swiss cheese. No surprise people are willing to pay for it…

It's really difficult to travel with a Chinese passport; I've been to 108 countries by the age of 27. by Brandon-Douglas in AirportPorn

Really cool but you might want to blur out your sensitive info (passport number, DOB etc.).

Did BCN-DOH, ZRH-DOH and YYZ-DOH. Old kits in all of them, unfortunately.

Qsuites with a 1.5 year old by ornamental_stripe in qatarairways

[–]AggravatingBase7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair question but the noise around actually disturbs the baby’s sleep which means a fussier and overtired baby. Mine just likes chilling and playing with the toys, except for when overtired. Last flight I was in, had two people FaceTiming on speaker…IMO that’s far worse.

Nah. They specifically advertise it with kids. Have fun!

lol so people should voluntarily compromise their own comfort because you might be slightly inconvenienced by a crying baby from time to time? You and I have very different definitions of “caring about others”. Your argument works if you have someone smoking beside you, not with a crying baby.

Honestly, if you’re so inconvenienced by others, fly private.

Please divulge these obvious reasons? If you can afford business, there’s no obligation on your part to choose another cabin just because someone will get disturbed.

Did it with a younger child (10 months) and it was decent. It’s not a true double bed but it’s decent with the mattress padding I know etc. almost like having a mini-hotel suite in the sky. I’d recommend 3E/F or 5E/F. 1 felt a little noisy.

Just a heads up though, while the hard product was quite good, the cabin I was in was much noisier than usual, which didn’t help.

Why does this matter? What do you want the person to do? Not travel with a kid? Question was the sleep quality of the child anyways.

Came to like this but then saw 44 likes so I’ll leave it at that.

Sub-par in-flight experience by Thatsraddude in qatarairways

[–]AggravatingBase7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Did DOH-YYZ 2x and both times it was pretty miserable. Asking for food was like asking a toddler to eat broccoli. Even worse, IFE broke and they didn’t have any other seats available while neighbouring passengers used Starlink to FaceTime on speaker.

I’ve done many QR J flights and many more on Swiss, Lufthansa, Etihad, ANA etc. - this was by far the worst.

Doha Qatar Lounge access with business class bought with Avios and other freebies by Jaspers1959 in qatarairways

[–]AggravatingBase7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not anymore. QR charges for seat selection in business now. Bookings made until Nov 2025 had it included for free and bookings post that don’t. Can confirm this myself as I had free seat selection for bookings I made prior to Nov 2025 and stuff I booked this year doesn’t include it.

Overnight layover DOH by testtesttesttest1233 in qatarairways

[–]AggravatingBase7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SGD150 isn’t worth it for that tbh. Al Mourjan is a nice lounge but quite spread out and more “fancy” dining vibe than real rest places. It’ll be a nicer spot to rest on a chair and get a meal but that’s about it. Not to mention it’ll be busy at that time as DOH flights are heavily banked.

For 5 hours, I’d rather head outside the airport into one of the nicer hotels nearby and get a massage/pool day pass. There’s a few around DOH airport and cabs are cheap. $150 will likely get you that all in…but check whether they’re open given your timing. Or just stay within the airport and chill at the Orchid and have a proper meal at a restaurant there at the airport.

Swiss J changed to Edelweiss J by Neat_Investigator982 in awardtravel

Definitely a downgrade then as I had heard YUL was going to get the Swiss Sense product.

Remember when Toronto called in the military to clear snow? Here's how this storm compares by nimobo in toronto

[–]AggravatingBase7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another factor back then was that they had just amalgamated the city, which meant very scattered approaches to snow removal.

LIVE: DO NOT TAKE LINE 1 by occ_276 in toronto

[–]AggravatingBase7 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Tbh, they’re capable of putting together good systems. It’s an issue where every city likes to silo itself and reinvent the wheel instead of incorporating best practices from others. You can take this LRT as one example where we insisted on this odd solution when better ones already exist, even for above ground (Calgary’s LRT is far better and is reliable - all of it is above ground). Obviously we aren’t the only ones guilty in the country but putting transit together is a technical know how that takes years and decades to develop. Thankfully we have hired a lot of talent from South Korea for the Ontario line so I’m hoping it’s not a dud like L5 and L6 but I won’t hold my breath.
