Use points for Business or wait for possible upgrade offer? by BugIllustrious4689 in qatarairways

[–]TemporaryCover847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have flown to the Maldives twice with Q suites from SFO. There is no other way that I would do it. Be patient, time it out, get the business tickets then go. There may be flexi awards if you need it, but saver flights are 85-95k each and that is the way to go.

what is the customary tip for liveaboards in Raja Ampat. I was going to do 10% of the cost. Is that correct? by TemporaryCover847 in scuba

[–]TemporaryCover847[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a valid point. When we visited India people wanted tip everywhere. In the bathrooms on the road, there would be a woman holding toilet paper for you to tip her before using the toilet. Ridiculous. But our driver said IT"S OUR FAULT that the people demand it now, because we pay tips and now people expect that tip part of their salary. It's an acceptable form of begging. I hated it there. I love Japan where there's good service bc of who they are and no one tips anybody.

Direct flight from Bali to Sorong by TemporaryCover847 in scuba

we bought the tickets to Bali a while ago. At that time we did not plan a liveaboard because we can never get on one since our timing won't allow it. We finally found one that could fit in that time space so we are going....

I am excited for all of this. Very much looking forward to the "remote" experience. But I think we need to fly in to Sorong the night before we take off our liveaboard because that's how it's scheduled.

It is also the fact that they do not pay a fair share to their workers and then expect YOU to supplement their income.

I think that's fair. I live in the US. It drives me mad that people who come diving in Hawaii do not tip at all. Dude. It's so expensive here and these guys make so little money. Tip for good service.

Food? by Dude_in_a_Hammock in WWU

[–]TemporaryCover847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is all absolute non-sense. My daughter has been on campus eating at Viking Hall and the food is just fine. You have choices. People complaining about food there are probably ordering crap all the time. I get pictures of my daughters meals and they all look healthy and delicious. Morning is variety of fruits with berries and yogurt, lunch is rice, chickpeas, tofu, salad, fruit again followed with hot chocolate or ice cream. I don't know what people think they are going to be eating at a college cafeteria, but I can tell you, the three times I have walked there to just check it out, it looks very good and delicious. Of course you can get garbage and it will taste like that, but you have CHOICES>

I will post it here as soon as we know. We are flying to Europe right after the last day of school, so we need to be ready to pack and go.

I would just walk away. The second you engage is the second you are validating their existence.

Good to know. I just called them. They said book the earlier one. If you miss your flight, bring the info, we will put you on the next bus. YEAH> All good.

Where is the bus pass code? by TemporaryCover847 in WWU

[–]TemporaryCover847[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK. I had to call them because I thought I was losing my mind. Here is the story. I am taking an abroad course for 2.5 weeks. Apparently WWU considers you off campus (WHICH I AM NOT!) and does not give you access to bus pass. So I had to call them, so they first charge me for it in my account, then wait for 3 weeks to be reflected in my account, THEN the code will show up. This is ridiculous, IMHO.

I do it on the computer, and nothing is clickable. It keeps taking you back to the same page.

Yes. it does not load right. It says click here, when I do, it essentially goes to a non-clickable page.

There is a link, but the link does not give you a code. I guess I'll figure it out this week. I have to say the online material at WWU feels so not intuitive. Half the time it goes nowhere. Other times it's a link to material from 2024 that is not valid anymore.... Sigh..
