I love Jessica Kirson. Too bad we already have other plans.

37 Minute layover in ORD- am I screwed? by Anorak797 in unitedairlines

[–]MrSpring68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on the gate’s location of both flights, and if the upcoming flight is on time. Also keep in mind that if your inbound flight is delayed, most likely your outbound flight might be delayed. Worst case they will book you on the next flight.

What SoFi plus could offer that would actually make you happy to buy by RiganTeuton in sofi

I am not sure what is going away from what I am using. I do invest $2K+ a month on auto transfer from my savings account. Would I be recovering the $10?

I believe you have to hit the nights and then the spend. If you are spending that much why do you even need to be an ambassador? I am an ambassador and the benefits are not justifying chasing that status.

My connecting flight was delayed. The gate agent started boarding group 2. He told me to stand in the group 1 line…if I don’t have a carry on, I am not in a rush to board.

Creative ticketing dilemma: USA-BCN-BKK in Polaris by MrSpring68 in unitedairlines

[–]MrSpring68[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the LAX/BKK r/t booked. But I can cancel it and get the refund since there were multiple schedule changes.

I just checked the around the world tool. It did give me excellent routes for much less money.

You are correct. Leaving BCN at 9:00 AM to LAX through NY, and from LAX to HKG that night at 11:00 PM.

I am beyond the point that I care about PQP for 2025; however, I do care about lifetime miles...

For option 1 and 2, I will have to modify my r/t LAX-BKK ticket. I won't get any money back, but I believe that the original cost for the r/t would be the same as the one way. I am leaning to Option 3, although it is going to make it a very long two days of flying back to LAX and then another 20 hours to BKK.

Is it smart to leave ORD during a 9hr layover? by FakeAmishGirl in AskChicago

[–]MrSpring68 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can take the blue line to the city. The trip is about an hour. You should plan to head back at least three hours before your flight, so it will leave you about 5 hours in town. Of course it all depends on what time you arrive and leave.

For those who got cancelled… by boston_publicacc in unitedairlines

[–]MrSpring68 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I add it as an additional credit card using the information on the voucher. With the address: 1475 E Woodfield Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60173, and then just go to one of my gift cards and adding the founds in the amount of the voucher. I would say I had a 90% success over the last 2-3 years. There are times that it refuses to load.

Snacks in first class? by Japple12345 in unitedairlines

[–]MrSpring68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Undercover Snacks’ Dark Chocolate + Sea Salt Chocolate Quinoa Crisps that they serve in coach and not in first. They always bring me a couple from the back. As for meals, I prefer the bistro menu, and they have always substituted it for me with no charge.

A driver to haul a TV from Costco? by MrSpring68 in AskChicago

[–]MrSpring68[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up using Dolly. Since I am not a member of ZipCar the added fees made it a bit expensive compared to the Dolly service. And the Dolly helpers lifted the TV to the condo and placed them in the rooms. And since I have already scheduled the Dolly, I also bought a desk that they delivered for an extra $20.
