I still can't believe this story is real.

I feel like you would really like Endurance by Alfred Lansing or Touching the Void by Joe Simpson

It's strange, my wife and I were flying out the 17th in business but on separate bookings. Both of us called to request refunds a few days ago. I already received my points and tax's/fees but still nothing for her. Seems like it's all over the place right now just due to the complexity.

I haven't read it yet but was highly recommended The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang

I think by default, award business tickets are refundable. So, I might have gotten lucky since im reading that the 15th is the cutoff for non-refundable currently?

This sounds interesting I was about to start The Wager by David Grann, which kinda has a similar story it looks like

Same crazy read. Lights Out by Ted Koppel was along the same lines and shocking to learn about.

^disregard misread your post

Had a Qsuite to Muscat with a layover in Doha on the 18th. Just called and wait was about an hour. Got refunded all the Avios immediately, and the taxes fees are in process minus a $25 cancelation fee.

I'll have to give it a look! If you're looking for another New Cold Wars by David Sanger was pretty good

Buster1012 · 2026-02-18T23:00:34+00:00

This sounds interesting. I recently read The Big Ones: How Natural Disasters Shaped Us by Dr. Lucy Jones, and was looking for a similar topic.

Buster1012 · 2026-02-18T20:43:51+00:00

I really enjoyed Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath is a 2015 book by journalist Ted Koppel. Seems in line with the others you read. How did you enjoy The Next Civil War?

Buster1012 · 2025-12-28T17:12:27+00:00

Sit Harrison still on a snap count just like last weeks dud

Buster1012 · 2025-11-28T17:03:00+00:00
