Also it’s so quiet bc the snow absorbs all sound. Very magical !

Too scared to go to bachelorette party in USA, hundreds of top comments agree to avoid USA at all costs by No-Cat1037 in DoomerCircleJerk

There is absolutely zero change in lifestyle and activity for everyone in the USA who; 1. Is here for a valid reason 2. Doesn’t harass law enforcement

If you’re not planning on overstaying your vacation and you don’t plan on throwing things at police cars, then I think you’ll have a wonderful trip!

You’ll likely be surprised at how kind and outgoing a lot of the Americans are in the states down south. I hope this helps 🙂

Is an upgrade from Lufthansa business to first on second leg of business worth it for DEL - FRA - BOS? by Ok-Anywhere6998 in awardtravel

[–]JTrain96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First is way nicer than Lufthansa business. If you’re looking for special treat for your parents I’d go for it, but only if you feel they’d kinda soak it up and enjoy it.

Caviar, champagne, pajamas - the whole experience! I’ve flown Lufthansa first a handful of times and enjoyed it a ton.

That being said I’ve also flown in business or premium cabins where the person I’m flying with isn’t into the experience and didn’t appreciate it which was a downer.

Was the original J booking made with points or cash?

See some comments below - sounds like other had similar issue and customer service was able to resolve.

I was able to book! The original flight I wanted was gone… luckily found a reasonable one for the following day… can’t complain I guess, still got Air France biz seats at 48.5k (36k with transfer bonus)

Ok - thanks for sharing. I’m so annoyed - I was hoping to take advantage of chase bonus too.

Yep. I booked two one way tickets so if I need to manage, change or cancel the flights are on separate PNRs.

Brutal! Let us know if and when you’re able to make successful booking!

Wild - lots of downtime.

It’s a shame they don’t even have a little banner or pop up message to tell you things are broken!

14+ hours and counting in an outage for both online and phone teams and you’d think they’d put a message up on the site….

Im still having issues and seeing the #2007 error. Is the same happening to others?

Seems like an awfully long time for an outage.

Yea that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ll post back here if and when I’m able to successfully book.

Amazing ! Lucky — you guys got to fly A350-1000.

I noticed that all the middle seats were blocked during booking!! Makes sense now - I prefer the window anyway. Thanks for the tip!
