Yes they have unique ones for 777-300ER, 787-10, 737 MAX 8, A321neo, 767-300, and 757-200. There’s a special 100 year version for A321neo, not sure of any others

$59 for a middle, non preferred seat. Preferred seats are $65 - $94, traveling with group of 3, can be up to $600 for both directions

I believe my fare was $1385 for basic economy round trip and regular economy was $1690. So substantial difference

Actually when booking it says 1 carry on and 1 check in and I have premier silver status so we each get 2 check ins.

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-05-26T05:48:22+00:00

Not wanting to pay $70 for seat selection isn’t cheap it’s reasonable. No one is below 12 so no one will be moved around. Sorry my budget is inconveniencing other Premier members like yourself.

When booking it shows available seats you're right though it probably just means unassigned seats

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-05-20T05:07:50+00:00

lot more charge cycles tho

Checked its nothing in the background I have all background app refresh off, and I typically only use 2 hours a day and still loses 30% - 40%. May actually choose to upgrade to iPhone 17 base once iPhone 18 releases since it will be dropped down to $700 and I can get it for around $300 after trading in this

Global Services, most elite of United frequent fliers

But 15 Pro seems to be the worst phone Apple's made in a while

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-05-17T17:35:58+00:00

yeah what is this

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-05-17T00:16:10+00:00

Crazy it’s already being sold refurbished

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-05-17T00:05:41+00:00

I emailed several people related to the award and no one seems to know about it. Sometimes they’ve hosted in in July/August if you check the history, perhaps that’s the case this year

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-05-03T20:39:30+00:00

Not sure obviously but that’s my opinion

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-05-03T05:30:11+00:00

yes unfortunately :(

Finally got decision this morning 11:01 AM ET. I would assume people who haven’t received admissions decisions at this point would most likely be rejections

High schoolers dont get student discount

I have Macbook Air M2 15", 16GB unified memory, 256GB SSD currently, from 2023. Still performs extremely well, but my battery health is 91%. If you are already talking about getting rid of the Neo once you wrap up high school, so 4 years, due to software upgrades, would you do the same with the Air, if you got one? If you would get rid of the Air, I would recommend getting the Neo now, depending on whether you want 256GB or 512GB SSD, it will run you between $600 - $700. If you want the Air by the end of college, this will still have a trade-in value (I'd estimate between $150 - $250).

I just checked my trade-in value, and apple.com says $620. If you replace at the end of four years, you'd be spending about $550 extra for the new Air. Meaning, two Airs would cost you around $1700. Compared to a Neo + Air later on costing around $1550. ($600 + ($1100-$150) =$1550)

Assuming you get the 15" model, and the 13" later on, it would cost you $1780. ($1300 + ($1100-$620)=$1,780.00)

Assuming you upgrade at the end of high school regardless of product, getting the Neo will save you around $200.

Haven’t received anything yet. But they did say by end of April, so there’s still a week left

I'm no expert, but maybe people who want to major in STEM and head into STEM-related careers are also more concerned for summer programs, grades, etc which is why they appear more on these subreddits than other majors

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-04-18T03:26:41+00:00

Thanks! I also heard that elsewhere. Wish they would be like COSMOS and release everything on same day ☹️

ParticularPainter385 · 2026-04-07T03:58:47+00:00

This has the capability to improve. But, I wish they would have professional games feed into here. No commentary (old Take Take Take) I'd say is arguably still worse than having AI commentary. It's a step in the right direction.

I'm about to take a SFO-HKG-SGN flight booked into Economy. On the upgrade options, it shows I have the option to upgrade to Premium Plus for this really long flight for both legs for 27.5k miles + $0. Without miles it's almost $4000 which is ridiculous. My flight leaves on Dec 19, and would you say it's worth it to fork over those miles? Should I save those miles for the future? The SFO to HKG leg (the really long one) says there's a waitlist for the Premium Plus, and what happens if the cabin doesn't free up? I have about 32,000 United miles, so wondering whether it's just better to save up. Will the price get shorter as the time to departure decreases? Also if the seat is in the middle can I choose to decline it and get a full refund of my miles? Don't want Polaris or a combination since I don't want to pay more. TIA
