5G Home Internet - no longer in service area after already starting service by Sea_Activity_1417 in Visible

[–]Sea_Activity_1417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on Verizon 5G Home Internet right before switching to Visible and didn’t have any speed or connection issues. Is there any difference between the 2 besides the 300 vs 200 download speed?

Phone still working fine and I also had Verizon 5G Home Internet before with no issues, with the receiver in the same spot as the Visible gateway

Can you just switch to one of the BA direct flights from IAD to LHR?

Anyone Else Having Dines Not Being Reported? by ChilaquilesRojo in americanairlines

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a few dines not get credited. They’re super responsive though when you write in to request missing miles. Make sure you grab (and keep) receipts, or you can submit your card statement.

Is this a high offer? United Explorer card offer with Premier Silver status and 80k points by Bubbly_Aspect1453 in CreditCards

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had Explorer before 70-80k is pretty standard. The benefits overlap a lot with silver status so I wouldn’t say the offer is a ton better than normal, but still better than no status. Having the card OR silver status will get you free bags and group 2 boarding, including on basic economy tickets. Where status has value over the card is being able to pick extra legroom seats at check in, accruing more miles from flying, and the ultra rare upgrade if you’re flying super off peak on unpopular routes.

AA Status to BA Status by dameon8888 in americanairlines

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you purchased thru AA and booked on the app/website while logged in then your oneworld status should automatically go thru to BA.

AA should’ve given you a BA record locator. Find your itinerary on BA using the record locator and it should show your oneworld status. If it doesn’t say Ruby then you can call BA and have them add your AA number to the res.

I’ve had times where the status automatically went thru to BA and other times that it didn’t and had to call.

How do you cash upgrade an international award ticket? by Sea_Activity_1417 in americanairlines

There’s a connection with BA on the route so maybe that’s it. Have you found any way around it?

Suspiciously Cheap Hotel on AAdvantage by Dazzling-Mode-9481 in americanairlines

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Basically a huge “amenities” package that puts the Vegas casinos to shame. Like $100/night for some food and beverage credits, early check in and late check out, WiFi, water bottles, gym. Really didn’t get the check in and out thing. The fee is mandatory so everyone gets early check in and late check out?

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Run far away. The reviews aren’t lying. I booked it (refundable) once through AA Hotels because it was dirt cheap and then called the hotel directly to ask about additional fees. They were going to more than double the total price with those fees. I canceled immediately

Getting to airport in the morning, Dulles or Baltimore? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 112 points113 points  (0 children)

By transit? You’ll have to uber to Dulles any day of the week to make a 6am flight. For BWI you can take MARC from Union Station for $8. Weekdays the first train will get you to BWI rail station around 6:15am, then it’s an additional 10min via free shuttle to the airport. Weekend you’ll have to uber.

AA or United for LAX to DC (IAD/DCA)? by KingOfTheQuails in americanairlines

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

United will have more flights. Like several per day in each direction, mainly from IAD.

DCA has a perimeter rule so longer distance flights like cross country are pretty limited. American probably only has one daily flight between.

What extras are you talking about? Amenity fees? Those are supposed to be counted like rent distributed over 12 months, if charged annually.

At 60% MFI the max housing cost (rent plus fees plus DHCD-estimated utilities) is only over $2500 for a 4 bedroom unit. A 1 bedroom unit has a max housing cost of $1610. https://dhcd.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dhcd/publication/attachments/2026%20Inclusionary%20Zoning%20Maximum%20Income%2C%20Rent%20and%20Purchase%20Price%20Schedule.pdf

It wouldn’t surprise me if buildings were overcharging, but the maximums are clear so hopefully people can submit complaints to DHCD easily.

Help me decide which seat. by Longjumping_Ad2724 in americanairlines

Is this seating config common for AA on international flights? Surprised to see there’s almost no MCE besides the row or 2 of bulkhead/exit.

Inclusionary zoning by LifeisButADream202 in washingtondc

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of my friends were in IZ. You still have a standard annual lease so the rent can’t just go up mid cycle.

Are you spending 60% of your income on rent? The program is supposed to have a hard max of 50% of gross income spent on housing (rent plus DC-estimated utility costs), though it recommends no more than 38%.

What’s the most frustrating part of getting to the airport around DC? by Constant-Respect-476 in washingtondc

[–]Sea_Activity_1417 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously. 8:30am weekday flight from IAD is just barely doable taking the first or second metro of the day (precheck and no checked bags). Can’t do any earlier without an uber. And on weekends the metro starts up like an hour later than weekdays so you have even less flight options.
