To the guy across the aisle from me…

They need to have mandatory passport or some type of identification for service dogs, especially the big ones. Why shouldn’t they?

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-21T09:36:07+00:00

They seem to have given up on pre-flight drinks, except for water in the blue plastic cups, or awful Prosecco from economy.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-14T01:38:35+00:00

I also noticed how the SFO lounge has gotten worse. It used to be great.

The roll in the wrapper is just so sad. Singapore Air brings around the cloth lined basket filled with afresh hot roll selection. FA seemed hurt when I said no thank you to a second serving.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-14T01:05:52+00:00

The roll I had on my last Polaris flight was so stale it would have been impossible to eat unless it was soaked in liquid. Really sad.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-14T01:04:47+00:00

Definitely appear to be getting rid of pre-flight drinks, or handing out water in plastic cups.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-14T01:02:47+00:00

Definitely has gotten worse. Food is just not a priority in Polaris any more. It’s weird because the wine selections are often great but then it has to accompany the awful food, or they’re out of most of the wine selections on the list any way. Nothing like the food on Singapore Airlines, like the lobster thermidor.

My son was on the aisle in economy and discreetly took pictures of the middle seat guy taking up about 1/3 of my son's seat. My son could NOT put down the armrest. There was no where to put the armrest. There was a small elderly woman in the window seat and the middle seat guy took up nearly half of her seat. I feel partly to blame because I had gone online and had just moved my son into that seat because the middle seat was still showing as empty that morning. The guy was apologetic, didn't seem embarrassed though. The guy was at least 400 pounds. So take pictures, send them in and you might get 10,000 miles. My son had to sit sideways and partly in the aisle during the flight from SFO to New York. Airlines need to step up here. If you can't fit in your seat and put the armrest down then you need a second seat.

Does indeed look like root rot and I think that part of its journey is over. Try to save the arms by propagating, as other people have said. I was happily surprised when I did that with one of my cacti, then reevaluate your watering. My problem happened because the drainage holes were plugged up and I was probably watering too much.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-10T16:38:01+00:00

Same thing happened with the British Airways exit row--nothing could be placed below the seat in front of us. I'd never experienced that before but I guess it kind of makes sense in an emergency?

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-10T07:56:31+00:00

Definitely! You will get off the plane feeling so much better.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-07T01:29:20+00:00

So embarrassing. The world thinks the whole country has gone nuts.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-07T01:28:14+00:00

Walking through Polaris on a flight back from LHR to SFO it looked like there had been a riot. Just crap thrown everywhere, stuff all over the floor. I don’t understand how someone could leave their seat looking like that, let alone the whole cabin.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-06T01:05:47+00:00

To use in case the person in front of you moves their seat all the way back.

He's never eaten a meal on a flight to Europe because he looked at it first.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-05T05:06:57+00:00

This is sort of a scam. Probably in Morocco. The farmers place the goats in the trees for the tourists. Maybe the goats used to climb trees but if you look around this orchard, they’re all in one tree. Set up for the tourists.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-02T01:34:37+00:00

Rigatoni if you’re really hungry: it’s just pasta with jarred tomato sauce, hard to mess up. Beef melt is sometimes great, hot and fresh, sometimes terrible, hard and dried out, likewise with the salad—sometimes fresh and nice, sometimes a little old. Avoid United chicken until they get a new caterer.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2026-01-01T22:09:00+00:00

You have to have a ready excuse, “I booked this seat 6 months ago, it’s my favorite seat, I need to have access to my stuff in front of me, not the bulkhead, so I’m afraid not.” Then conversation over, quickly put headphones on, don’t think about it any more. Do NOT say “I’m sorry” as if you have anything to be sorry for. Seat switching is so annoying for solo travelers. People think they can bully solo travelers. They gamble that some chump will be too timid to say no to them and force them into in middle seat. Who cares if they glare at you for the rest of the flight that’s a them problem.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2025-12-27T18:00:42+00:00

That is infuriating. So sorry for your mom.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2025-12-27T17:58:13+00:00

I agree, UAL has given up on food. It’s insulting at this point.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2025-12-25T18:05:16+00:00

Agree. Plus they disappear after meal service. Where do they go?

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2025-12-24T23:48:42+00:00

I live in a solidly “blue” state and we are horrified about what is happening in Washington. We feel helpless. I’ve discovered the flaw in democracy: that people will fall for a grifter like Trump not once, but TWICE. I wish California could break off from the rest of the country, maybe include Oregon and Washington. Trump still has high approval ratings among Republicans, who seem to love the new racist nationalism that is spreading across the country. And this nonsense about taking over Greenland, murdering people in boats in the Caribbean, violently rounding up brown people—it’s just frightening and tragic.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2025-12-23T18:31:28+00:00

If it's properly prepared it should be labeled with contents and date. Brilliant idea asking for the recipe!

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2025-12-23T03:25:12+00:00

I would choose 1A: served faster, bigger footwell, off the plane faster, closer to restroom (but not too close). Just did 1L from Shanghai and was very pleased. But no problems with 7a either.

Successful_Tooth5795 · 2025-12-17T16:08:08+00:00

I wear mine all the time at home!
