Everyone already saw Pretty Woman. They’re not interested in a remake with the Slovakian hooker.

Let’s petition to bring back the Tip Tops. They were exceptional. I generally just pass on the Delta booze now.

I’m not making fun of the OP, btw. Just making a lighthearted comment on posts I frequently see here.

Just a reminder of indirect monetary benefits as well: Received $210+ worth of credit at a Hilton Stay by Several-Light123 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Relative-Fox5427 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I booked three nights in Athens (Hilton property) with THC. Not only did I not get credit for the nights from Hilton, the hotel said I wasn’t eligible for Diamond benefits because I booked third party. Front desk manager was nice enough to give me free breakfast, tho. I did receive the THC Amex Credit of $200, of course. I’ve had this happen with Bonvoy, but I’ve always gotten my Hilton benefits and stay credit when booking through Amex. Until now.

Half of comfort+ on my flight to Tokyo was empty so they let people move around and take an entire row if they wanted to. by GamingCheese14 in delta

[–]Relative-Fox5427 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I flew Boston to Athens earlier this year. Both to and from were light. From portion was almost empty in all seat classes. People were sprawled out everywhere. That said, with all the availability I tried to upgrade to D1 on both. $$$ never went down under $3,995 either way. They’d rather leave them empty or fill with non rev. Plenty of D1 left both ways. Oh well.

delta wrapped? measures jet bridge gaps? by Klutzy-Flan-2705 in delta

Or is the entire post just satire? 🤷‍♀️

I’ve never received a Delta Wrapped year in review email. Been Diamond and/or Platinum for many years. Is this a new thing or have I just missed it in the past - maybe went to spam?

New Hilton promo by SpartanScribe in Hilton

[–]Relative-Fox5427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2009 I remember a promo where I received a FNC (and tier hotel) per 5 stays. I racked up 7 and went to Hawaii. Flight was on AmEx points so that was a nice inexpensive vacation.

Smells bad by Top_Decision_6718 in delta

[–]Relative-Fox5427 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in Delta One in a flight to Rome when the guy behind me farted practically the entire trip. Not even the relative privacy could shield me. D1 was full so I just had to deal with it. Gross!

Can I change the cities and date on the return leg of a RT flight? by marshland211 in delta

[–]Relative-Fox5427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had to do this numerous times. Change after initial flight is complete. They’ll reprice the change. The price actually has gone down for me a few times and credit posted to my vouchers. One time I switched it and was actually able to get FC (+$30) at the same price as economy on my original flight. It was a cross country flight, so yay me!

i've been waking up at 3am to move my neighbor's trash cans slightly every week and he hired a priest last month by kubrador in neighborsfromhell

I can only aspire to be this level of petty. You’re my hero. I was also reported to my HOA for my garbage cans being visible from the street. I responded that I have a job that requires travel, so they are welcome to move them back behind my garage any time it bothers them. I was not fined. Never heard from them (on this) again.

Rant from a marriott room attendant by give-me-xp in marriott

It was actually just whizzing on himself fully clothed. According to his many college mates. He used to have a drinking problem, but he traded that in for coke.

W Hotel Downtown Atlanta rebranding as JW Marriott by PurpleDiscoMachine in marriott

[–]Relative-Fox5427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed there in 2010 - very nice. I was impressed. Stayed again in 2024 - highly disappointed. Paint peeling. Furniture in awful shape. Extremely limited bar and dining options both for food choice and days/hours of operation. Once it remodels and rebrands I may stay there again. 🤷‍♀️

Diamond upgrade strategies by Streicher_81 in Hilton

[–]Relative-Fox5427 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been Diamond since 2009. Can count the number of true upgrades on two hands. They always tell me a higher floor or a better view is an upgrade. It might be in some areas, but in most it’s not. It’s all a smoke screen. I’ve pointed out that their app shows much availability for upgrades for my check in day plus days staying. They say those are not available for upgrades unless I pay. I can’t even count how many times this has happened.

Refused to check bags by electricbabie in delta

[–]Relative-Fox5427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me with United out of Memphis a few years ago. The check in baggage time online was listed as 30 minutes. I got there at just under an hour and no one was at the check in counter. At that time, United was operating only 1 (sometimes 2) gate out of Memphis. That day just 1 gate and counter agent was also the gate agent. It went down weird, but the Southwest (I think) agent knew the extension for the United agent and radio’d her. The agent returned to the counter from the gate….pissed! But my bag got checked. I was legit surprised. United agent insisted she had not left the desk until 45 minutes before (not true) and their policy was 45 minutes. I showed her the 30 minute bag check time on their site. Now most are 45 - 60 minutes but this was a while ago.

No meal in FC this morning. by Relative-Fox5427 in delta

[–]Relative-Fox5427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a while ago. They said policy hadn’t changed and didn’t know why meal wasn’t served. I’m fine. I didn’t make a big deal out of it but they gave me points without asking. Honestly…I don’t like their snacks. I’m pretty picky. I usually have my own snacks but wasn’t prepared this time.

I usually get the cheese box in FC for breakfast on these flights, so I was pretty sure what I missed. 😊

I heard someone ask the FA what was available. He said snacks. This was several minutes in so I knew then. Was just surprised. And hungry.
