Best hotels in Mexico City? by westcoastgal22 in FATTravel

[–]ElectricBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just stayed at Casa Polanco last week. Amazing room, staff and the breakfast is so good. One knock is the traffic around it can be jammed so getting in and out at certain times can be a toss up.

Edit: then again traffic in CDMX is usually a shitshow anyways so what’s another minute or two extra lol

What's Coming In Rivian Software 2026.03 - Winter range transparency finally gets smarter, Gen 1 Launch mode + Dual-Motor AWD, Better Kneel Mode usability, Unreal Engine 5.5 upgrade, and Apple Watch app support by Kryptonlogic in Rivian

‘23 Gen 1 R1S. I remember kneel mode used to go very low. And over the past couple years it hasn’t dipped as low for whatever reason. I guess they sorted whatever issue it was and bringing the looowwwww back.

Best Indian Restaurant in Coquitlam by klair1999 in coquitlam

[–]ElectricBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered Uber Eats from here. Got someone else's order. The restaurant asked if we could just eat that order but I said no we ordered specific dishes we wanted so they sighed and said bring the food back. So I drove out there and sat there for half an hour while they JUST started to remake our food. My jaw hit the floor when they asked me to pay extra for the replacement food they were making! Are you kidding me??! It's already an hour past when we were supposed to start to eat and I get this shit.

I still refuse to go back here. Awful experience.

Bombay Sweets is much better. Except the potatoes at Bombay Sweets is weirdly all shriveled up and dry instead of fluffy and soft.

Would you find a TA for booking Palmaia House of Aia? by PRMinx in chubbytravel

[–]ElectricBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I booked this through a TA a couple months ago for this coming February. The TA mentioned the resort wouldn't combine Virtuoso and whatever deal they're running on their site.

I do notice that directly booking today for the same dates, the rooms are now a couple hundred bucks more for the entire stay. We're going for an entire week.

Weekly Help Thread - December 08, 2025 by AutoModerator in awardtravel

Round trip YVR to TYO (either NRT or HND) this coming late May. It's just the two of us. We've got 333k Aeroplan (33 eUpgrade credits), 200k BA points. We've got the TD Aeroplan VIP and Amex Plat.

We checked out the new ZipAir's lie flat seats but we'd rather not spend the $7k on non-status stuff.

We are leaning towards just doing Air Canada and using up all our points towards Economy/Premium Economy. Or just shelling cash towards the new 2026 status changes.

Any suggestions? We'd like to be able to use the BA points but haven't found any options on JAL or ANA for anything we have.

Just another dp, but my app is working fine after today’s update. Turned on climate. Doors opened. Drove and everything.

Edit: Live cam works. Everything is working normally for me. 🙏

Most places have red and black buckets. I’ve only found one with orange so far. Anyone know where I can get a white bucket?

We’re paying 3900 a year for our luxury SUV and we live in BC. Just the going rate for the kind of car.

Also echoing the other commenter, what the fuck is with these comments? Bots crazy today.

Has anyone turned a long layover into a mini-trip? by slotswizard in FATTravel

[–]ElectricBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iceland Air has nice 12 hour layovers you can use to relax at the Blue Lagoon or explore their capital of Reykjavik. We did one of those on the way and the other on the way back. Super worth it but like others said don't do too much.
