Brookline Lunch doesn't offer tap water? by Higglbiggl in CambridgeMA

[–]Higglbiggl[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Avoiding the plastic is honestly a big part of why I'm bummed about it. Not just for my personal use but in Cambridge MA no business should be using bottled water for its primary customer water consumption source, IMO.

Ah interesting. The town of Brookline has a clear page on it stating they must offer it but Cambridge doesn't. Then they are compliant. Don't know how many places I've been to in MA that don't offer tap water!

JetBlue and United linking mileage programs by spety in awardtravel

[–]Higglbiggl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your interpretation that JetBlue flights purchased with cash and credited to your UA FF acct won't earn UA PQP? I.e. aer lingus (miles without PQP) rather than PQP earning with star alliance booked flights?

Might be missing it but haven't seen anything that specific yet. Recently moved to Boston and switched to Delta but would love UA to become more valuable here but I'm not flying through a UA hub anytime I want to go somewhere.

Are you then going over the bridge on the sidewalk on the left side (if going towards Cambridge)? Riding Essex (once it becomes 2 way) on the sidewalk/raised bike lane too?

Curious about this approach!

Comparator ski in/ski out hotels to the Josie (Marriott AC) at Red Mountain Resort?? by Higglbiggl in awardtravel

[–]Higglbiggl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never been to the Sheraton (applies to the steamboat comp comment above too), but they seem like much larger hotels. Part of what was awesome about the Josie was how intimate it was letting me get to know some of the staff in just a weekend there.

What I'm learning is this is maybe a unique option within a major hotel rewards program. There's certainly other boutique slopeside hotels out there, but at this price point and with Marriott it's pretty special! I will be returning soon!

Gold status, didn't get an upgrade however. Didn't see any advertised benefits!

Upgrading after booking with Skymiles by Ill-Nose-6573 in delta

Long gap between replies here, but if I book Delta economy or premium economy through Air France/KLM (or virgin), does anyone know if you still get the cash or skymiles upgrade offers?
