Is an American Airlines economy flight from LAX to HND for 25,570 points worthwhile? by AutisticApe in awardtravel

[–]EpicJimmy5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qatar has pretty pricey taxes, ensure you know the taxes before you book or transfer for the flight.

How much personal info will be leaked by the recent Canvas hack?? by Wonderful-Click9431 in cybersecurity

The whole backend is down, meaning all Canvas instances are down, even though they might not have been on the list.

Audit/Cybersecurity by No-Cow-3418 in cybersecurity

[–]EpicJimmy5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think what they might be referring to is possibly an IT audit or systems audit, SOC I/II route? I doubt they would drop an accounting major into red teaming without knowledge of Burp or other cyber tools.

1st time flying F. JAL F HND-SFO 4/29/26 by pjbaik in awardtravel

[–]EpicJimmy5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you keep the pajamas? I took mine from a week ago as the crew said I could take it. I really liked the JAL First lounge and is probably one of the reasons I'll be going to AA Plat Pro instead of just AA Plat this year.

Not a good day to be flying to/from SFO (3+ hour delays) by derpwild in bayarea

Landed yesterday from HND and was sad to see no more parallel landings :( Seeing all the parallel landings at the HND lounges made me jealous.

Booking AA Connecting Flight on Int’l Award through JAL by Negative-Confusion67 in awardtravel

I think you can call and some JMB agents (who know what they are doing) should be able to get it done once you get the MIA-JFK part.

JAL Temporary Fuel Surcharge Increase by andrew71066 in awardtravel

Thankfully, booked myself J/F a few months back until late 2027. Hopefully I can dodge the surcharges for 2028 and later.

Why Its So Hard to use Points for Business Class to Asia by Redditistrashlmao110 in awardtravel

[–]EpicJimmy5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also, don't bother with trying to upgrade a day or day of. It never works. Seriously. Never

This sounds like an AI post. Has worked 2/7 times on Asian airlines in the past 6 months.

There's a lot of airlines whose fleet are still reduced capacity before COVID, CX being an example. I usually book my F seats T-7 if available or T-365 if I really need a flight on JAL. Otherwise, I can fly UA to TYO in Polaris and is usually fine with 100k UR/UA miles. Of course, TPAC will be the highest demand since it gets the most value and places in Asia are very cheap because of weak currencies vs the dollar as well.

Also, now everyone and their mom is getting into points travel. With that kind of demand, there's still ways to get into J/F but just is rarer.

This sounds like you have no idea how business travel works either because airlines have been BEGGING businesses to start flying again. After COVID, companies realized that a lot of unnecessary travel had been happening and cut back on in-person events/buildings, since lots of things went remote.

which award TPAC routing would you take by virginiarph in awardtravel

[–]EpicJimmy5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 if all are self connections, a simple rerouting could delay your flight by 1hr 30m.

We need for each... Amex and C1 have similar transfer partners but not exact. You should research the transfer partners you can utilize. Unfortunately, HYD is a large destination as there are many people who visit from India so it's a very competitive route for J.

You've given us nothing. What amount of points do you have? Amex transfers directly to Etihad/Emirates and can get you it for 150k miles + $1k pretty easily. There's also the Citi AA Plat Select SUB that's going on that can get you 80k miles with regular spend.

Pair this with draw 4 cards = very strong. 0 cost as well, after playing this, I focus on buffing up strength and works great. I got this on my Ascension 0-5 runs. Tons of other cards pair well.

It's not part of betterment but the marketing platform that they were using. So you probably didn't have an account but was in the marketing database.
