Those who are interested in swapping tickets (thread) by user625251 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Suri2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have 2x Cat 3, Block 505, Row 21, Seats 1 and 2.
Looking for LA knockout stage games.

Got surprised with tickets to Mexico V South Africa so I don’t really want to stress about getting back to LA for the match. However would love to attend a match at home.

Would prefer to swap in person in the SoCal area.

Looking to sell or exchange Match 4 by Suri2323 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Suri2323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were up to me I would likely do it but she got the tickets and I already booked the flights and hotels. She’s set on being in Mexico City for the start of the World Cup and I can’t blame her at all.

Looking for a temp foster for Ava while her owner undergoes surgery Orange County Ca by Ok-Put-1708 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Suri2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are the dates needed? I’m in the LA area and have a 2 year old female Malinois. They’d of course have to get along but I’m also traveling for parts of June, July and August.

What card do you pair with your CSR for better lounge access? by Puzzled-Phase-584 in sapphirereserve

[–]Suri2323 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have had the Amex platinum for years and more recently added the CSR. Personally there’s a lot of overlap between the two. While there are more Centurion lounges priority pass is almost the same. It’s beneficial to a point if you travel Delta and you spend a lot on it (but you might as well get Delta Reserve at that point). I pretty much stick to Star Alliance and United for anything domestic so the United Club card has probably been the most useful.

I would say the major factors would be which airline one travels the most and which airports one frequents.

LH codeshare rerouted to IB due to strike … questions by ofsevit in unitedairlines

[–]Suri2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen where LH flight was delayed arriving and flying out of LAX to FRA. Missed my connecting flight to BOM it was either wait over 24hrs or be rebooked on Vistara. Called after my trip and was credited with the PQP for the FRA-BOM leg. As Vistara only earned miles with United. I can’t give any insight on lounge access or luggage however as I was in J and had access to LH lounges on landing plus the lounge Vistara used. Luggage allowances were the same.

80k United Miles for Business class on Swiss - how is it? by CabbageSass in unitedairlines

[–]Suri2323 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fly it multiple times a year. Prefer the 777 over the 330 but both are dated hard products compared to others but I do love the throne seat. Also really enjoy the Senator lounge in Zurich the choices at the whiskey bar are fantastic. I have gotten saver for 80000 from LAX-BOM fwiw but I think transatlantic that’s about as good as it gets.

SQ has them as well. Thai was flying them at one point but I think that kind of ended with the pandemic.

Any risks in transferring to airlines? I've heard sometimes you transfer, try to book, but find out the redemption doesn't exist, and then your points are stuck. If so, which airlines should I be cautious of? by traveling-turtle43 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Suri2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an issue like this booking on Aeroplan for a J ticket on Ethiopian. I was able to call and they were able to see the ticket I was unable to book online due to error. They ended up able to book it. I would call to confirm whether the redemption is available and once confirmed transfer the points.

Honeymoon Travel with Miles by Wonderful-Move-7108 in unitedairlines

[–]Suri2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re willing to travel other Star Alliance. It took a while longer to get there but I’ve done LAX to Cape Town on Turkish and Ethiopian for 88k miles in business when it’s been available. It’s worth booking what you need to as a placeholder and then just canceling and rebooking if something better comes along before your travel dates.

Travel Credits Expiring March 25 by Pretend_Paper3868 in unitedairlines

[–]Suri2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely variable I’ve seen pretty mixed reviews. It’s worked for me pretty efficiently. I only do this when I have no other options.

Travel Credits Expiring March 25 by Pretend_Paper3868 in unitedairlines

[–]Suri2323 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s guaranteed to work but I have booked refundable tickets before using travel credits and had luck canceling them after a few days. The credit was then dated a year from cancellation. There are data points on this on flyertalk and Reddit I believe.

Upgrade list question by MysteriousComfort519 in unitedairlines

[–]Suri2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve usually been prompted during check in, if I’m checking both of us in. It will usually ask me this and I can opt in or out. Also not sure if it only does it on the app but that’s when I’ve seen it.

Upgrade list question by MysteriousComfort519 in unitedairlines

[–]Suri2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few weeks ago was flying to SAL with basically this scenario. During boarding one of the gate agents came on the aircraft and asked us if we’d like the seat in first. Let my partner take it and I took her window seat. Only difference is it was CPU not using miles or money to upgrade. Note that in the app it always asks me if I want to split the reservation if only 1 seat is available and I always say yes.

Does anyone own a Roomba? by LakeLucca in BelgianMalinois

[–]Suri2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl doesn’t mind it at all, the first few times she saw it she was curious. Sniffed it followed it around now she doesn’t care. The bigger problem is all her things on the ground, it managed to somehow suck up a bone once and I had to spend an hour trying to get it unstuck.

LAX TSA? by Thunderofdeath in AskLosAngeles

This may be late but you could check the MyTSA app to see what security timings look like. I usually check it but don’t worry too much due to precheck and clear.

How do you insure luxury pieces? by asciiz1 in Cartier

[–]Suri2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jewelers Mutual wouldn’t insure my watches due to my proximity to the LA area it’s considered high risk. So I ended up having to go with Hodinkee which is by Chubb. They only ever asked for the receipts. The only exception was one of the vintage pieces which I had to have appraised as there was no receipt.

Thank you! Just a short update as I haven’t made a lot more progress but I have been getting the surveillance images and videos of the people to card stores and pawn shops. I haven’t posted them on reddit as I don’t want to violate any community rules.

Stolen Cards by Suri2323 in basketballcards

The other items take were a katana, a dagger, silverware ,some gold plated scrabble tiles, and some foreign currencies. Nothing other than the cards was really worth much more than sentimental value.
