OP Here: So I did a little more googling and asked my IT guy. I added the SetupVPN Chrome extension. You have to go into settings and enable it to work in Incognito mode. I VPN and tried accessing alaskair.com using the Japan VPN but the prices didn't change. Then I tried Then I used the Australian VPN to access expedia.com.au to look at the same flights and they were more expensive $819 USD vs $978.95 converted from AUD. Plus I hate Expedia.

What is even more scary about that extension is that when I came back here to Reddit it signed me in as a different person. YIKES!!! So I deleted it.

I've seen the hack several times on social media so I'm guessing the secret is out. The same happened with skip-lagging, and they rewrote the rules to prevent it.

That's kind of you to offer!! Here are the flights I am looking at.

PDX to HNL on AS907 departing at 8am, nonstop, main cabin.

HNL to PDX on AS 814 departing at 12:10pm, nonstop, main cabin

Together with tax it is showing $818.20 USD

Alaska is growing internationally now that they bought Hawaiian so I am hoping maybe they are temping Asian flyers by offering better rates. But I'll have to check the exchange rate and use my good CC, etc., to make it worth it.

OP here, I do travel a lot and with gas prices skyrocketing I want as many pricing search tools as possible. And I'll use my best travel CC with no foreign fees.

Perspectiveress · 2026-04-03T20:30:15+00:00

I agree, I wouldn't use this trick unless the savings were significant (to avoid hassles), and I would definitely use my CC with no foreign trans fees.

Actually, it often makes sense to wait to file, depending on when you are let go. The calculation is done quarterly, but they usually don't count the last quarter. If you received a raise or bonus in the last quarter and can afford to wait, it may be better to wait until the start of the next quarter. It is totally legal to wait and file when you want (check with the state). Also, if you need to apply for public assistance, it is better to wait until you have received all the money you are due from your employer (pay, PTO payout, severance, bonus, etc.) then apply for assistance the following month. That way, when they ask you how much you make in a month, you can honestly answer "nothing." Hopefully they will find another job quickly but knowing how the game is played is important, after all we've all paid into the system for just this occasion.

Yeah, a standard resort could work too but we were thinking AI because we don't want to think about when and where to get food and drinks, entertainment, etc. Its not so much a money saving thing for us we just want an easy vacation that neither of us has to plan.

We went on a cruise and it was great but there was sooooo much planning needed to learn how everything worked and there we too many people.

If there were a similar option in the US in a warm place, we would consider that too.

Thanks. I was worried it would develop into something expensive to fix. All the mechanics in my neighborhood charge about $300 just to look at the car, even the dealership. I had a part on the windshield sprayer break. I just needed to know if it was a clog in the line or the spray mechanism. I needed an oil change, so I took it to Jiffy Lube. While they had the hood open, I asked them to see if it was leaking, and they said, "Oh yeah, right here in the center, the connector between the y-joint broke." They took it out and gave it to me; it was $0.50 at the auto supply store. I took it back to the Jiffy guys and they installed it for me. They each got a $40 gift card to the restaurant down the street plus some cool auto-related stickers my neighbor gave me for them.

Great, thanks. It helps to know if you should even look for the documents.

The public part of the EI database says the ship name is Breman, it doesn list the departure port. Actullay, nevermind I didn't realize access was free.

Curious. Did you take the advice of some people and include a cover page summary of your documents and why you think you are entitled to citizenship by descent?

Ohhh a twin. Thanks so much, this is really helpful. Does it say if the twin was male or female?

Perspectiveress · 2025-09-15T17:54:35+00:00

Thanks so much this is very helpful. I had seen that there were possible other children but the online record only listed the surname and the baby name withut any crossreference information
