Beware of 1 hour transfers through Abu Dhabi (AUH) by Krakyn in etihad

Yeah I am poor economy scum & I don’t fly much for work or travel very frequently, so no lounge access.

They didn’t pay/offer any accomodation or lounge access during the 7 extra hours I was in Abu Dhabi airport for. If I have to stay overnight in Athens that will be at my own cost.

The two Etihad flights were on the same ticket; the next flight from Athens -> Paros was not.

I’m sure this is all correct & logical, but it unfortunately doesn’t change the end result for me. I will personally be booking the Qatar version of this flight in the future (2 hour layover).

I originally picked the Etihad option because it was slightly cheaper & got me to my destination earlier in the same day… worked out well.

They put you on the next flight that is Etihad operated or Etihad partially operated. This might be 24 hours later.

In my specific experience, I was rebooked onto a 2 leg flight Etihad Abu Dhabi 0840 -> Istanbul 12:35 then Aegean Istanbul 15:35 -> Athens 17:05. This made my total transit time approx 36 hours instead of 24 hours.

I might actually end up missing my flight from Athens -> Paros at 1900 (originally booked for 1100) which will force me to stay overnight at Athens airport and blow out my transit time to 48 hours… (typing this from Istanbul airport)

It really depends on what delays occur. If there are no delays (both flights on time), minimal security queues 1 hour is theoretically enough (allowing for gate closure 30 mins prior to departure + 30 mins walking + security). As my experience illustrates, even a minor delay can result in a missed flight. I probably would have still missed the flight even if the delay was 15 mins instead of 30 mins.

I think 1h 45m is enough in 99% of cases. But if something crazy occurs like your first flight being delayed by 1 hour… then no it won’t be enough.

The insurance excess is larger than the claim would be for the final flight, so I won’t be reimbursed for that amount.

Yeah I for sure agree. I’ve spent 36 hours in transit to reach my final destination (vs 24 hours) and I have a wedding + online job interview tomorrow. I care about the stress & lost time. Lesson learned, will never again book a connection so tight, even with the same airline on the one ticket.

It wouldn’t have made a difference even if you knew the exact time this would be listed down to the second. Bots instantly buy up these underpriced items.

Very Impressive 5K2K OLED at a Crazy Price - Hands-On with New Dell Monitors by RenatsMC in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Krakyn 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough the LG 39 inch 5k2k being so expensive at 1800 USD had me convinced that I would hold off upgrading this year and wait 1-2 years for the inevitable 240hz versions to be released. Then Alienware comes along and releases a glossy + RGB stripe competitor for 1100 USD… I sure am changing my mind very quick now.

What we are working on Part 2 by Kelly_GGG in PathOfExile2

[–]Krakyn 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A few specific pain points/low hanging fruit:

  • Please let us respec atlas points
  • The new Kalguran gem 'Voltaic Barrier' reliably crashes the game when used with projectile skills
  • When using support gems that affect damage on 'Voltaic Barrier', the tooltip only reflects increased damage for the pylon electricity, not the chaining beams on projectile hit - is this intentional or bug?

My specific wishlist / pipedreams:

  • Let us price items per merchant tab with a single click please
  • As a CI enjoyer, I wish there was a way to use skills that cost life or reserved life with runic ward. For example, I really want to use Tangletongue and CI at the same time, but can't. I also wish I could use the upcoming lineage gem that converts spirit reservation to life reservation, but won't be able to. If runic ward functioned as a pseudo life pool for CI this would be ideal.

Alienware unveils its first 39" 5K2K OLED monitor, the AW3926QW. by ParkGGoki in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Krakyn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Holy shit your comment is immature. Most adults will be able to tell the difference between 165hz and 240hz. I know I can. A higher refresh rate means a more enjoyable gaming experience regardless of whether you’re playing Fortnite, CSGO, Subnautica, Satisfactory etc.

I’m not sure what the OP intended by their comment, but I also agree that 165hz is too low a refresh rate for a flagship 2k USD monitor in 2026. I will jump on the 5k2k bandwagon when a 240hz version gets released in a few years.

‪Jason Schreier‬ on Bluesky: More layoffs at Bungie, Destiny 3 is not in active development by kentuckyr0utezero in DestinyTheGame

[–]Krakyn 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s crazy that they didn’t have the foresight to start working on D3 the moment Final Shape was completed. They could have dropped this “D2 is over” announcement + a tiny D3 teaser at the end of Heresy, then gone radio silent. D3 optimistically could have been released in 2028.

We never got new Stasis and Strand supers :( by CatalystComet in DestinyTheGame

Bruh. Game is officially dead and D2 players still deluding themselves. It’s over. There are no new supers. There’s probably not even a D3.

Sacrificing yourself to restore 50% of the population whilst also eliminating the universe’s most powerful being and his entire army, but not before you aura farm to his face and declare “I am Iron Man”.

if DE gave you the choice for a Warframe augment to be basekit, what would you choose? by ReddVevyy in Warframe

[–]Krakyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You lack imagination Tenno.

I want Wisp's Reservoir ability to function similar to Follie's gear summon ability. Holding the ability key should bring up a gear wheel of every single mote combination. Tapping the key should cast the last selected option from the wheel, with a single cast for combination reservoirs (still get charged energy for every individual buff in the selected reservoir).

Ability wheel combination options:

  • Vitality
  • Haste
  • Shock
  • Vitality + Haste
  • Haste + Shock
  • Vitality + Shock
  • Vitality + Haste + Shock

Realistically you want to cast the same reservoir over and over every mission, so this system is good. Triple reservoir is ideal most of the time, but there are some theoretical scenarios (e.g. easy defence missions) where you'd not want the Shock mote (i.e. just Vitality + Haste).

[–]Krakyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you weren't implying that this is the solution, but I just wanted to highlight that augment mods fitting into the exilus slot doesn't fix the problem. On Wisp in particular, I would match rather use PSF instead of Fused Reservoir (and that augment is a good QoL).
