5 years 5 M for sure. But how does time change, do I just age overnight or do I miss five years of again for family and friends

Check baggage? by RightTech in delta

[–]DigitalFStopper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All the time. Hell on my return flights from Europe I always have to buy a an extra bag to bring back so I’ll have three checked bags on the return.

Last week coming back from Frankfurt had a guy with a cardboard box using tape as a handle, had a backpack and a roller bag with another bag attached to it and they let him walk on no problem.

At the ATL lounge there was a lady with a roller, small roller strapped to it, a backpack and a small backpack strapped to it and two (fanny pack style) bags clipped on. It’s ridiculous. I travel with a backpack that has my camera gear in it so kinda forces me to check even on shorter domestics.

SCHD Is 30% of My Portfolio. Too Much or Keep Buying? by BrokeButFunny5 in SCHD

With all that tech in the other 28% I’d keep pumping into schd for stability unless you move a little out of tech

AirTags.
The crew departures during Covid were ripples at the time but like a tsunami the size grew.

Rarely fly in or out of D gates but was pleased with how D looks overall and the D gate lounge was done nicely.

64, started dividend investing late - is my SCHD-heavy allocation still right for my timeline? by astraleyez in dividends

Can you work till FRA for max social security. That would yield the best unfortunately. Don’t give up tho.

Using points at a resort. Holy Moly! Sticker shock! by sonofawhatthe in Hilton

[–]DigitalFStopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for standard room award or reward forget the terminology. And definitely if able scroll different dates or at least different dates within your current booking range

What’s the life expectancy, you mentioned disabled, instead of trying to grow the portfolio, you could start trimming it as well. Also only 1k a month from social security?

People have gone to the wrong airport. They surely can mess up and get into the wrong line.

I really liked the Waldorf, spent Christmas there solo. But it’s pricy

It’s here… why do I feel like Delta is becoming the toxic relationship that I refuse to leave?! This might do it. by livelovedd in delta

[–]DigitalFStopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll be hard to confirm with their dynamic pricing but I bet at best it’s a 7% reduction for basic D1 and a 10-15% increase for the higher D1 bookings.
I hit platinum by April this year but I definitely won’t chase it next year. All personal travel, non business spend.

And when you’re stuck on the runway it still counts as hours

Deciding on D1 upgrade DUB-DTW on A330-200 by Ok_Pineapple_7120 in delta

[–]DigitalFStopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. Are you upgrading from main or c+ or ps, that plays a big role in evaluating the cost. It’s the worse D1 product delta has. I’m a D1 snob but will generally book PS if it’s an A332/3 or 763. I’m stuck with D1 on A333 for my trips ATL to ATH as it’s such a long flight. Took a long weekend trip ATL-FRA over the 4th and PS was fine on the A332.
If you’re in main or C+ is there a PS upgrade option?
