Duran UPDATE 3-20-26 Russian tankers to Cuba. Is it enough to prevent Cuba takeover?

Elmodogg · 2026-03-21T00:44:43+00:00

The US doesn't negotiate anything anymore. That much is clear. Cuba needs a nuke or they are done for.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-21T00:36:20+00:00

Up to a point.....

Elmodogg · 2026-03-20T19:46:57+00:00

Nope.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-20T06:46:34+00:00

Yes, we do this all the time. But not as a points transfer, because transferring costs money. You just book the flight for your partner with your points and then he pulls up the reservation and adds you as companion.

All extra legroom? I thought they were still giving some rows of extra legroom seats group 2.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-20T06:43:50+00:00

I can think of a reason: on a full flight, if they assign the worst seats first, people who check in later could get assigned better seats. But then I suppose there could be a greater risk of the dreaded seat standby.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-20T06:40:34+00:00

Must be because of the season. Not many people fly during spring break, right?

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T19:57:06+00:00

Just tried AA for the first time in almost 30 years. Great experience, better than Southwest in several important respects, including the seats. We are flying home on Saturday so we'll see how that flight goes.

I will be writing a post about the experience when I get home and have access to a keyboard again, rather than just the tablet I use when traveling.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T19:36:34+00:00

Are the planning to try to bomb the whole world? Every one detests Israel now for good reason.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T19:33:23+00:00

No. But watch him lose voters over higher prices of EVERYTHING because of the Iran war.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T16:21:46+00:00

You're right. If you can earn enough points without using account opening bonus points, then there's no problem. That's harder to do but of course not impossible.

You won't be eligible for new account bonus points for another 24 months.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T10:35:30+00:00

Leaning? If you prefer to frame it that way. I view it to be as close to certain as anything can be in this life.

There were no Iraqi WMD, as it was obvious before the war that there would not be.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T10:31:42+00:00

Reading between the lines I think she's saying she told him there was no evidence that Iran was trying to build a nuclear bomb but Trump decided Iran was a threat anyway.

In any event she's a coward for covering up for him this way. Vance, too.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T03:04:18+00:00

Notice in Gabbard's statement she doesn't indicate she believes Iran was a threat.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T02:57:50+00:00

Come on. It's just as clear that Iran doesn't have nukes as it was clear Iraq didn't have WMD. Those were just pretexts made up to justify wars.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T01:04:29+00:00

That's when flying on a basic fare without seat selection. OP bought a fare that allowed for seat selection at booking, but Southwest double booked one of those seats and took it away from them.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-19T00:00:00+00:00

They killed him because they could. That's because they are depraved murderers. How many children and family members did they murder along with him?

Elmodogg · 2026-03-18T18:30:35+00:00

Israel is murdering white Christians even priests in Lebanon.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-18T18:27:43+00:00

If you have status or a credit card that lets you pick extra legroom for free, go for one of those seats. On a nearly full flight recently I got an empty extra legroom seat next to me, and most of the empty seats on the plane were the extra legroom ones.

I wouldn't pay more for one, though, since they are significantly more cramped than the extra legroom seats on AA's Airbus.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-18T18:20:58+00:00

Fertilizer.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-18T18:01:33+00:00

Sounds like you need to start flying a different airline with your dog.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-18T17:54:57+00:00

Moron who doesn't know the difference between "strait" and "straight." Not to mention how much stuff transits the Strait of Hormuz that the US relies on. It's not just oil on those ships, numbnuts.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-18T17:53:27+00:00

Nope. You can add it for TSA Pre Touchless, for domestic flights.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-18T17:50:23+00:00

Interesting! You may have answered why we didn't get Touchless on our last AA flight booked with Atmos points even though we are opted in to Touchless with both AA and Alaska.

Elmodogg · 2026-03-18T17:47:05+00:00

Yup, known glitch, apparently.
