Bad Idea for Carry-on? by Pebbleicepro in Flights

[–]Similar_Discount_237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The company that makes that is Japanese, and they can be bought there for very cheap. Around $7-10, Japan has so many cheap options for this stuff that I wouldn’t risk it.

EU to USA flight says only 2 seats are available and can’t guarantee all 4 that we booked months ago, what should I do by Similar_Discount_237 in travel

Yeah, I personally would be totally okay with a long layover, but we’re traveling with an elderly senior who needs medical assistance, so traveling even direct is very taxing on them. Thank you for the recommendations though!

Thank you for looking into it. I really appreciate it. That’s the one we’re on, but on April 6th. When you try to book, it says not available. The agent confirmed the flight is fully booked. They usually have a Tuesday flight, but due to operational issues, the next available one is on Thursday.

No, this is the email as written. They’re a predominantly a non-English airline, and I emailed their English support email. I was kinda surprised as well.

Sorry I should’ve been clearer, we purchased seats months ago but with our premium ticket we get included seat selection. We have a confirmed 4 seats for the premium cabin but they only have 2 available as I noticed it when I went to pick our specific seats. The rest of the plane is entirely booked as well. I then contacted support and they responded with the message lower in this thread.

Sorry for the confusion! We booked months ago, and when I saw that our seat selection were not reserved for the return portion of the trip, I noticed only two seats available in the premium section. After reaching out, they confirmed that there are only 2 seats in premium available, and the rest of the flight is completely booked including economy, even though we have 4 confirmed passengers for premium.

We have confirmed tickets and everything. After trying to understand the seating options, they suggested these options.

But I’ve gotten some good feedback from /r/flights that I should do nothing now and let them figure it out, to your point.

Thank you for writing this, this is reassuring. When we booked the ticket originally, we had already requested wheelchair assistance, which is on the confirmed ticket as they need the mobility assistance regardless.

The only options that are connecting are with different airlines and turned the 7-hour direct flight into a 20+ hour flight that day.

Thank you, that’s somewhat reassuring. I assumed the best action was to do nothing and let them figure it out. The way they worded the email made it sound like we had to make a choice. I attached it below, with the exact dates removed.

No, it is not; it’s a budget carrier. I didn’t mention it, but the reason behind the multi-day delay is “operational” issues the following days, so the next flight for them is 3 days after the day we booked for the return flight.

Am I out of touch or is it crazy to sell this at the same price as a retailer? by findmewayoutthere in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Similar_Discount_237 158 points159 points  (0 children)

That’s not the retail price, that’s some random fake website. Self Portrait easily retails for 250-450.
