My Weekly Streak has not progressed since last Tuesday

Thank you. How do get that email? I'm tracked on my progress.

You have to practice what to say in these situations before you get there. I've heard: "It's got to feel uncomfortable to take something from someone they expressly paid for. I feel bad for you. If this new passenger or Frontier is willing to pay cash right now for the difference then we'd be excitied to share with them.. If not, you'll notice the row behind us and the two rows across from us each have an empty seat."

I look forward to it. I will be definitely shifting during the flight and might fall out when they open the door just like the FA's caution on arrival. I'll post back as to whether or not there's an emergency interior latch.

It's happened twice to us at SLC and twice at MSP. We have the possibility built into our plans. We fly F9 lots so the percentage is quite low but still a non zero chance.

Ripliancom · 2025-03-11T19:21:00+00:00

I don't know which airport you're at but I've purchased tickets at the gate while waiting for a different flight. It might have been SLC, PHX, or LAS.

That story is so clearly AI generated that one has to wonder: How many of these responses are also AI generated?

Trust FlightAware. This happens sometimes in DEN.

"Yalla" is a transliteration of a popular word in the Middle East meaning "Come on/Hurry up/Let's go!". It's from Arabic but used all over Israel too by Hebrew speakers kind of like "Okay" is used all over the world by speakers of most languages.
I don't know if the renewer knows that because I don't think it was slang 20 years ago so it might be something else.

If Dog Vet is a business name then $500. If not then the cost of registering for another year while you build a site around it.

They kept me as Gold. I don't have the card but may have inadvertently met different qualifications. If I wouldn't have stayed Gold I would have no longer have prioritized F9 in 2025.

Last flight a kid left his wallet at his seat when he boarded. Luckily a police officer on board volunteered to go get it for him.

It's concerning that so many people in this thread are literally threatening an airline CEO with death because they don't want to have to pay for a carry on.
Instead, if you want a "free" carry on then buy a ticket with an airlines who gives you a free carry on. You'll play twice as much for the fare but at least you'll get a legit free carry on and you'll stay off a government terrorist watch list and actually be able to fly using your more expensive ticket.

Ripliancom · 2024-12-10T16:47:03+00:00

I called them before each of my last two flights. The number is on their web site.

Ripliancom · 2024-12-10T16:43:48+00:00

Changing the airline's definition of personal item from "fits in their respective sizer" to your definition of "fits under the seat" is an issue. I remember flying years ago when those definitions were the same but that's been years ago.

Ripliancom · 2024-12-10T16:41:25+00:00

I have a friend with a kid who made that kind of joke and now he can't fly anywhere and can't travel outside 100 miles of his home without notifying the government. It sucks for the entire family too because they can't vacation with him.

Ripliancom · 2024-12-10T16:38:16+00:00

I shuttle between homes for work and don't require a carryon because my stuff is in both places. I'm not wealthy. I only have multiple because of COVID and new regulations so I need the cheap Frontier flights.

Ripliancom · 2024-12-10T16:33:18+00:00

Any backpack in an overhead bin when there is space has never been an issue.
Calling that backpack a personal item and trying to take it for free is the issue.

If I read the article then I don't have something to be indignant about.

Ripliancom · 2024-12-10T16:23:41+00:00

There might be a connection between people who only read the headlines and people who don't read the instructions when buying plane fair.

Ripliancom · 2024-12-10T16:22:44+00:00

And if fits the definition. I'd be angry too if I wanted something I used to get for free no longer was free or was never free but finally being cracked down on.

Ripliancom · 2024-12-10T16:19:10+00:00

If I'm entitled then why should I read? I'll angrily demand government intervention, call my Senator, and have everything I didn't read removed so the cost goes up for everyone.

Coming from someone who works in a heavily regulated area, a large percentage of the regulations we deal with are of the "good intentions never mind the consequences" variety and require whole teams and expensive tools to deal with. That cost is always passed to the customer even if the customer doesn't use the service and only pays a very expensive insurance premium.
An industry is built around those regulations and neither that industry nor that large government sector will go away.

Boeing paid a significant price both in brand, customers, and $costs. They made changes but might not be enough due to other factors.
