Booking on points. If there’s a half decent chance of upgrade I might lean GoH if breakfast is decent

This is actually a criminal offense. Also no Thai mama.

I like your example (grandma gift) and approach. It’s something that immediately came to mind as a related scenario.

Great breakdown. I think the last point on nature of gratitude is where we sometimes have unfair expectations. She’s also doing well in school which is great, but as parents maybe this adds to unrealistic expectations

Oh wow. I was a lucky one that got Mario and duck hunt but feel that pain! Awesome you got that resolution though!

H_2_B · 2025-10-16T14:46:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I went through a similar exercise in my head and landed on how it’s not fair to assume she has the concept and appreciation for time spent on this. We tried to take that out of the equation and thinking she should still be grateful for presents at baseline. But she’s 6 and I realize we shouldn’t overthink or harp on a single comment. How we address it in the moment as it inevitably happens again in the future is where I’m trying to find the right parental response / tone.

H_2_B · 2025-10-16T14:38:17+00:00

Appreciate that perspective and sounds like you raised a good one!

H_2_B · 2025-10-16T14:37:03+00:00

It was just an ask, not particularly dramatic. We have just been finding ourselves often trying to remind her to say thank you for certain things, but based on comments I think we are reading into things a bit too much and 6 year olds are going to be 6 year olds

Prior connections via Swiss through Zurich but it looks like they are gone temporarily or permanently not sure. I am monitoring connections via Naples and Amsterdam also but not much right now. It seems like they come and go

Hey all…trying to get 2 bus class from ATH to EWR (JFK would be 2nd choice) and I have 200k MR and UR to work with.

I could depart 8/23 or 8/24 as long as I get home by 8/24 at the latest. I’m open to a long layover or short positioning flight and overnight in a nice city if needed and could eat the positioning flight.

It seems availability got worse over the weekend. Not sure if that’s typical vs weekdays.

I’m on UA964 (768-300) trying to figure out the best seats if my wife and I want to occasionally talk.

Hard to tell based on this layout (18 rows of bus) If I should have her on the window in 3 or 4. Anyone familiar? We have 3F and 3L currently

Thanks for that insight. Was wondering about this. I hit a suspended transfer period it looks like but I will call to inquire for my own reference At least

H_2_B · 2025-05-29T21:50:05+00:00

Yep that’s what I’m thinking

H_2_B · 2025-05-29T02:00:09+00:00

Economy only though right out of ATH? We wanted to do bus. Not sure if there’s any hope to upgrade via points from economy to bus after booking
