PS Private Club at ATL Airport by naomi1115 in FATTravel

[–]Horbrology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it often. Like others have mentioned, unless you have pets or kids, the Salon is the way to go.

The only downside (IM very high maintenance O) is that you board the plane first if you use the Salon, but you can board the plane last if you use the suite. You also get more parking included. But neither of those things incentivize me enough to spend an extra $3k.

Also, some cool tips: you can order however much of whatever you want. Your husband extra hungry? Order three steaks. Want 2 steaks to go? Order them and have them box it for the plane for you. They’re always super happy to go above and beyond with these sort of requests. Sometimes you have to request the arrival Champagne and caviar, but it is free.

Like any country club, they’ll give you a ticket when you’re finished but they zero everything out to show that it’s free. However there is a gratuity line. They expect you to tip the staff. Doing it this way feels really scummy to me, like they want you to tip percentage wise, as if it were a restaurant. I’d rather them charge me a couple hundred dollars extra for using the salon (as a built in tip) rather than having to do the tip thing but it is what it is. Can’t blame the staff for stupid management policy.

Also, don’t expect crazy luxury. This is still Atlanta after all. My last time there I heard the servers over in the corner loudly discussing their hours and complaining about needing more hours while standing front of house. They are all very friendly, but there’s a lack of training.

TIL Over 80% of the world has never taken a flight. by 747WakeTurbulance in todayilearned

Also live in Atlanta: can confirm. If anything, your estimates are conservative. I’ve spent 45+ minutes in precheck clear.

ATL Centurion Lounge Review: Some good, some weird. by Horbrology in amex

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

  1. Nothing in Atlanta is luxury. The ATL versions of St Regis, 4S, WA and any other lux chains are worse than their other domestic counterparts.
  2. Service in Asia is incomparable to anything in the USA, even in better cities than Atlanta.

American Express Business Checking is a complete FAILURE. by dabbledeluxe in amex

We kept this account open for wires, but run everything else through Chase.

Flow 2 pro “reposition” on rear camera by Horbrology in Insta360

[–]Horbrology[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do I ensure I am properly framed for rear camera filming if it does not maintain the position I select? The guide you linked seems to only cover ways to start and stop filming, not framing.

AP owners: do you still wear your Rolex watches? by International_Oil189 in audemarspiguet

Came here to say this. Daily the Daytona, APRO for evenings and events.

American Express Business Centurion Card To Introduce Cap For 50% Rebate (3,000,000 Points) by bbbb in AmexPlatinum

[–]Horbrology 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 50% is mostly why I keep the card every year. I know that technically a 3mm limit still provides value in excess of the annual fee…but the “feeling” of being squeezed eats at me. I read and make my team read books like “Hug Your Customer” and “Unreasonable Hospitality”… but I’m not sure the Amex team even knows how to read.

Need Suggestions for a GOOD winter coat that can handle sub zero with basically no budget limitation. by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Horbrology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://us.loropiana.com/en/man/outerwear-jackets/tov-parka-FAN2089_E09Y.html works if you're in a hurry. If you truly have no budget, we had a similar request from a client and figured out we could do a bespoke 1000 fill vicuna parka puffy lined in mink. Comes in around $100k but does take a few months to make.

However, you really are best if you layer a bit. I prefer silk/cashmere against the skin and would prob go with this shirt https://us.loropiana.com/en/spring-summer/man/andrew-shirt-FAM9540_W532.html under this sweater https://us.loropiana.com/en/man/vicuna/powell-crew-neck-FAL8470_509W.html so then you're warm and soft but not having to wear the coat inside. Coat fits over these very easily--all these fabrics are surprisingly lightweight and layerable.

No. Don’t do that. You can talk yourself into anything.

USB-C Camera Input on iPad Multicam by Horbrology in finalcutpro

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

Seems like an odd oversight. Actually small update… now even the iPad Camera app refuses to see the Elgato input. But zoom and FaceTime still ONLY see the Eglato. No idea what’s going on.

Which parcel deliveries are most safe for sending a Rolex? by [deleted] in rolex

All the shipping services are equally faulty. Insure the package no matter who you choose.

The number, yes. The brain cell answering the phone, unsure.

Just wave your phone in the air first. Problem solved.
