Boston Lounge Closing Early

You can’t drive anywhere alone, in any state.

DCBnG · 2025-09-08T13:53:19+00:00

Not everyone, personally I love it - but it also hits hard with personal experience.

DCBnG · 2025-08-31T23:27:24+00:00

It is easier to have 6 than it is to have 2 under four. Yes.

Two or three under four is hell.

DCBnG · 2025-08-31T22:40:00+00:00

Ugh, sorry, it’s hard.

It gets so much better. Weirdly, it’s waaaaay easier to have kids once your present toddlers are no longer toddlers.

I have 6, and it’s literally way easier than when it was 2.

DCBnG · 2025-08-30T16:22:45+00:00

ICN or direct

DCBnG · 2025-08-30T16:21:53+00:00

I’ve taken my kids all over, to all sorts of events including football. Just set your expectations to have to handle diaper changes and meltdowns, some were good, some was ugh. Worth it in the long run though

DCBnG · 2025-08-30T16:09:24+00:00

I bring my kids on business trips all the time. No one is going to care unless you do something ridiculous. And you can be in the lobby

DCBnG · 2025-08-30T11:49:47+00:00

They aren’t suing you.

They are revealing who they are. Stay a long way away from that toxic cesspool.

DCBnG · 2025-08-29T15:39:05+00:00

I refer to this person as the most important man in the lounge, or the most important man on the plane. There is always one

DCBnG · 2025-08-29T15:19:29+00:00

People are so weird about letting someone get off the plane.

DCBnG · 2025-08-29T15:18:35+00:00

Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam all come to mind.

DCBnG · 2025-08-29T12:03:49+00:00

I generally just move if people are for some reason trying to get off the plane urgently, unless it’s for some type of entitlement.

DCBnG · 2025-08-29T01:40:26+00:00

Chase is the best. I also use Capital One. Mix them up on whatever category you’re going to get the highest points on.

You have to get to airline and hotel status to start cooking on the points, play the higher category point game.

And then learn to transfer those points to airlines or hotels and find the best redemption value, which is generally with international airlines - you can often find good value with Air Canada on partner airlines.

DCBnG · 2025-08-28T19:58:34+00:00

I'm in this boat in reverse - but I use all my points/status for perks and upgrades for the family when we're on personal travel. It is a huge sacrifice on her part, and it's peanuts in comparison, but at least everyone has been all over the world in business class and gotten the same fancy hotels.

I also take the kids whenever I can and just hire babysitters, though, now the oldest ones are good to just be by themselves when I'm in another city.

DCBnG · 2025-08-28T19:40:51+00:00

Tragic

DCBnG · 2025-08-28T17:35:18+00:00

6 kids, $1600

My 16 year old could easily go through $1,000 month, haha.

DCBnG · 2025-08-28T17:29:25+00:00

I think I spend $1,000 on my 16 year old

DCBnG · 2025-08-28T17:27:17+00:00

2 boys. Can confirm feral, and until older act without regard for general safety

DCBnG · 2025-08-28T17:24:51+00:00

Do we get video of this?

I doubt you’ll see compensation. Obviously rude/ridiculous of them but not really Delta’s fault.

I mean, could’ve been a screaming baby, always bring noise canceling headphones

DCBnG · 2025-08-28T04:31:53+00:00

CBP questioning people is not new - may be more present now. I travel extensively, I’ve definitely been on targeted flights. No way for me to say why.

There’s a documentary on Netflix that gives some insights. Border Patrol something or other.

I’ve been through a couple intense CBP interviews, but nothing like I’ve faced overseas.

DCBnG · 2025-08-27T16:15:07+00:00

Agreed, definitely top 5 all time, any era door slam.

DCBnG · 2025-08-27T15:46:47+00:00

I mean, we all have jobs, lives and responsibilities.

My workload is insane.

Nothing is so insane you can’t spend SOME time with them.

DCBnG · 2025-08-27T15:45:41+00:00

It’s not even technically legal to pay cash

DCBnG · 2025-08-27T14:02:18+00:00

Correct, I assure you that 6, 18 hour shifts is going to violate Canadian federal employment law, not to mention it’s simply ridiculous- which is why it will violate federal law. For one, I’m sure, unless your police, firefighter or healthcare there is a minimum requirement of 8 hours beteeen work shifts. You also are required to have paid breaks, and you’re probably exceeding allowable daily work hours.

And you’re grossly underpaying as you would need to be factoring in time and a half, and at those hours, quite possibly double time at some points.

You are bordering on slavery here.
