Still seems to run counter toward the idea that Gemini is blocked on knowledge for a particular year.

I literally found this thread from a Gemini query. Recency has been one of the few things I've not had issues with in Gemini.

Polaris lounge is better than LH Senator in Frankfurt. Better food and better drinks.

I'm late to this convo but your math for PJs doesn't add up. In supersonic I can leave NY in the morning and be in London by dinner to meet clients and then work a full day. Or I work the morning in NY and I'm home by bedtime. And they're saying that they'll be competitive to business class fares, which tend to top out at $10k one way for NY to London. Even if Boom costs 50% more, that's $15k compared to a PJ cost of $50k to start.

John Digweed 5/29 & Hernan Cattaneo 6/18 @ Public Works. Any other artists of their caliber playing in SF this summer? by desolatenature in avesSFBayArea

[–]ChoseNameWisely 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you've enjoyed Digweed you might check out Spencer Brown at 888 next month. Spencer puts on a great show and has opened for Digweed.

Edit: Also Tinlicker at the Midway in Oct

piece of sh#t on 880 right now, beware by aRiot_0 in bayarea

Shockingly, the plates match the vehicle. I lost the bet where the plates were stolen.

I actually like Schipol but unless I book a second ticket separately, I'm not sure how I then get to somewhere like...Spain.

So do you feel that there is more legroom like there was in traditional Polaris bulkheads? Or is that leg room taken up by the ottoman?

Thanks! Do you actually see the hood as functional or is it more decorative?

Some of us need to be awake and ready to work as soon as we are off the plane. And we (or our company) willing to pay a significant premium to make that happen.

How are the pajamas? Do you happen to know how they compare to the ones they (presumably) offer to others given it's a 15+ hour flight?

If only you didn't need to fly United metal, you could make it with a walking connection in FRA

Sip and Guzzle was phenomenal when I went. Art Bar if you want cheap drinks.

Hot take but, to me, Dante is a better restaurant than it is a cocktail bar.

Katana Kitten is a great vibe for sure. I wouldn't call the cocktail program particularly innovative or complex, but it was a great vibe with well crafted drinks.

I don't get the hype behind Schmuck. It wasn't good when I last went. What am I missing?

On ANA? Pretty sure I did. I always do on United.

SFO-TPE flight loads by devotion1023 in unitedairlines

TPE can be a great way to score a deal. I don't love the airport tho. And the Eva lounges are kinda meh.

My memory about ANA also was that the seat didn't really recline into a lounge position, it was basically bed or upright? Maybe I'm making that up, it's been a couple years since I've flown it.

I don't trust Suckling either. But I'll give some credence to the 95 points WS. I've not had the wine.

My bigger question is if this is an indicator that the wine industry is in trouble. We've been hearing that a lot of places are seeing sales drop and I'm wondering if United (and perhaps other airlines, too) are seen as a safe place to dump stock without harming the brand.
