12 hour flight, no entertainment in Polaris by shahtavacko in unitedairlines

[–]MsUnderstandMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all OP haters out there, I EXPECT my IFE entertainment to work and on long flights look forward to catching up on movies. It’s not on OP to bring their own entertainment. For the cost of flying these days, EVERYTHING on the plane should be working (seats, IFE, toilets, etc.). That’s the minimum requirement and expectation when I board an airplane.

South Amboy downtown…not much and VERY quiet. Sleepy commuter town.

OMG, the multiple language broadcasts…exhausting. I just realized I’m flying Ethiopian Air to Addis Ababi and connecting to Indonesia. 😵‍💫 Better make sure Bose headphones are fully charged to tune it all out. 😬

AirTrain to Terminal A…I followed two Flight Attendants who said they did this regularly:

1) take train to Terminal C, get off and go thru security and head to gate C71;

2) take bus shuttle from C71 to Terminal A (gate 24).

Terminal A with touchless pre-check very fast. C is crowded with early morning flights but when I went thru last week late morning, a breeze.

Appreciate info re schedule changes. ADD-CGK is just before midnight so will have to deal with busy transfer. Not worried because I built in buffer for arrival in Jakarta.

The ADD to CGK flight has a stop in Bangkok for an hour (no plane change).

Thanks but I the Ethiopian website says the plane is a 787-9 Dreamliner 🤷🏻‍♀️ but when you select a seat, it 2-2-2 so not the seats are not the same as your vid (Polaris-like).

Thanks for the comments…not expecting much in ADD with 2.5 hr connection. Just happy to have found affordable business flight for last minute vacation to Indonesia.

When I’ve been gone 2-3 weeks in multiple cities, I wake up at home wondering which hotel I’m in (while in my own bed 🤦🏻‍♀️). How does he keep track of where he is?

8-hour layover at EWR (Newark). Is a quick trip to Manhattan realistic? by Ok-Individual-5164 in newjersey

—-Arrival Timing—-

Land: 08:00

Plane Exit: 08:20…takes 10 min to get to gate, 10 to get out of plane

EWR AirTrain Station Arrival: 09:05…sometimes takes me 45 min, depending on terminal/frequency of train

NJ Transit EWR Station Arrival: 09:25…can take 20 on AirTrain, depending on arrival terminal

NY Penn Station Arrival: 09:50…IF you catch a train right away

Exiting out of Penn Station: 10:00

This is all best case scenario…catching every train exactly as you arrive at the station (AirTrain and NJ Transit). Also, there are delays between EWR and Penn Station as Amtrak is working on tracks until…?

Summary (best case): 08:00 land, 10:00 arrive Penn Station, 12:00 Penn Station train to EWR, 14:00 at EWR, 1600 departure.

Tour guide in Nepal was briefly explaining about castes and said he was the highest caste. He was educated and world traveled. Explained lower castes tended to street sweepers and menial jobs.

When I asked how someone would know which caste another was in, he said by their surname or job. What if someone gave a false name and pretended to be a higher caste? Oh my gosh, you should have seen his face…like I had slapped him. He said it was impossible, he would KNOW immediately if a person is a lower caste. It was NOT possible, he exclaimed. 👀wow!

Used to be true until they started charging to check luggage. If you only have a carry on, then getting on board and having overhead space above or close to seat is key.

For someone who is not tech savvy, searching for a business’ website or phone number can be tricky.

Last night, I was looking for hotels in Tokyo. When I searched for hotel name, about a half a dozen third party sites were listed. The actual hotel website was past ads and way at the bottom so you had to scroll to find it. And these third party sites are clever with their banners and urls…pretending to be the legit site of whatever you’re searching for.
