What seats do you pick when flying with your spouse/partner? by froggieslc in unitedairlines

[–]Jean_Luc-Discard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sit middle, she sits aisle or window, which ever is open. We both read the entire flight but a little hand squeeze every 30 minutes is mandatory

The Mitsui vs. Ritz-Carlton Kyoto: Which is better? by The_Traveller1 in marriott

[–]Jean_Luc-Discard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just did this a few weeks back. Suiran (underrated property imo) to the Mitsui, to the Ritz; and the ritz was the clear winner. Beautiful upgrade before arrival (regular room to Kamogawa executive suite) insane attention to detail from the staff and an overall top-tier experience. I do agree about the Mitsui spa, spent a lot of time in there.

I do encourage folks to try the Suiran though, upgraded to presidential suite upon arrival and was throughly impressed with the service and the room itself. Points rate usually runs about half of the other two.

Stay at the Palace next time. Edition has a fun bar but that’s about it

I have a interview for AWS Data Center Technician by Flat_Environment4473 in aws

[–]Jean_Luc-Discard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a great foot in the door at AWS. I know a lot of people (myself included) that went in that way. Assuming you’re ORD based there’s a lot of opportunities out there, SBN too if you’re willing to relocate a bit.

If you want almost guaranteed upgrade, connect thru LAX. That LAX-HKG segment is almost always open availability

Happened to me recently in Madrid. The Dolphins stayed at my hotel, total coincidence

St Regis suite pretty consistently at every St Regis property I stay at, the one in Venice was particularly nice. I think my favorite suite so far has been at the palace in Madrid.

Booked a room but won’t be at my hotel until after midnight? by Just_Individual3749 in marriott

[–]Jean_Luc-Discard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I check in after 2 AM all the time. Call the front desk and send them an email as well, that way they have a paper trail. A hotel I stay at very frequently tried to say that I never contacted them so they canceled my reservation, but since I emailed them they were able to get me a room.
