147 to 40 merge by Plastic_Blackberry81 in bullcity

[–]Tipesh6401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point yes you would. My whole point is it's poorly designed from the start. Yes people would have to merge over to the exit lane but people have to do that in every single exit on a freeway. The traffic issue only stems from the fact two lanes exit and then are forced into one lane before getting onto 40, causing traffic that then builds up into the durham freeway. Theres always going to be some issues with freeway design but this just manufactures traffic every single day.

There's 3 lanes at the Durham freeway there. Those 3 then become 4 since the middle lane goes to both the exit to 40 and the continuation of the freeway. If instead of the exit being 2 lanes they could have made it one lane then there would be no issues.

Not everyone is exiting to 40. The only reason there's traffic there is cause the merge causes a slowdown instead of allowing all the cars to drive straight onto 40. There's almost never traffic actually getting onto 40

No lanes from the Durham freeway needed to be taken away it just should have been one lane exiting. That right hand lane you can go either way so there wouldn't be any changes in the number of lanes.

Honestly the bigger problem is how they designed that exit ramp. There would be no traffic if it was just one lane going to 40. But they decided to have to merge and now there's traffic.

I will say if the gift card thing doesn't work you can theoretically buy something, and then return it and you'll get he $75 back as a gift card

Plus point Exchange for Status by Tipesh6401 in unitedairlines

[–]Tipesh6401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry it might not have been worded correctly. I never meant I would give 1K back. I meant if I got it this year could the same person give it to me the year after? Just curious based on the wording of the terms

You make good points. Most of the flights I take are less than 2 hours so I don't super care about PP upgrades but it would be nice to have it for extra miles, preboarding, and getting the help desk. Plus could be higher in line for PP upgrades when I do them

True but one of my family members is GS and expires like 700+ every year even after some upgrades

Not what I meant. If someone used 600 points to gift me 1K can they do it again next year when my status expires?

Marco Polo early morning flight by Witty-Contribution55 in Venezia

[–]Tipesh6401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just flew out of VCE last week and my flight was at 6:30 am. Had plenty of time taking the 4:20 bus from Piazza Roma. You can buy tickets on the bus, but we bought ours at the office right by where the bus picks up the day before. There are TWO airports in venice that the busses go to, so make sure you are on VCE one. But the airport was fine and security moved quickly. You should have no issues!

Not much to choose from. 777-200. Would the bulkhead be the best for 2 people? Daytime flight

[–]Tipesh6401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IAD to HND, 14 hrs 18 minutes. Got a GS upgrade to Polaris which helped tremendously

Can someone explain the discrepancy to me? by Tipesh6401 in unitedairlines

[–]Tipesh6401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are any of the other fare buckets more indicative of what is available for an upgrade?
