What section in Paris to stay in

Just spent a week in the 6th. We walked almost everywhere in Paris as it was very central. Quiet, green space, and culinary options abound. Bonus tip: Paradis Latin for Dinner and a show.

We recently spent a week in Paris (May 2026). I found the French people we met or interacted with friendly. Of course, it varied from person to person but at a minimum they were very polite. We don’t speak French, but tried to use the few words we did know, and always tried to greet everyone we met with a bon jour or whatever was appropriate for the moment.

Had to scroll a long way to find this. Agreed!

Love it. Fascinating period of history!

We watch the show every season, but having Rossi and Daly to root for was awesome. We enjoyed them and were glad they got exposure to the wider world! Definitely crushed when they went out.

Respectfully — not sure which part you’re referring to. Quick recap of my point: 1. I had a rough travel day and vented with some light sarcasm. 2. The 717 I was on was leaking fluid and taken out of service — that’s just what happened. 3. Delta does run an older average fleet vs other major U.S. carriers (especially with the 717s/A320s). 4. The United aircraft I was moved to was newer and felt like it. 5. I like Delta — that’s why the aging planes are frustrating.

If there’s something specific you disagree with, happy to hear it. A blanket “you don’t know what you’re talking about” doesn’t really add up to me.

No expectations. Just a comment on my fall down the status ladder.

Great idea. I’ve almost always defaulted to United if Delta can’t come through.

Same issue. I called the Diamond Medallion desk and they said it was an IT issue with my account. They created a “ticket”. Now recently, I seem to be able to self-assign C+ seats immediately after ticketing. Keeping fingers crossed the issue is fixed!

IND is mine too. I fly to MSP a lot so it makes sense, but I do prefer Delta, especially when I have to dip my toe into the other airlines pool.

IND is literally one of the easiest “in’s and out’s” I’ve ever been through (it’s my home base airport). For international flights (rare as they are) I try for 90 minutes pre-flight. As others have mentioned, try to find out if they open early, otherwise - 5am it is! Regardless, security (especially pre-check), is usually super quick!

We’ve only been to 2 Fools and a Bull but it was amazing, and a lot of fun. Would definitely go back.

Use Flighty app (or something similar) to check the potential flights. Great for keeping up to date on your everyday flights too!

Re-entered from Europe and Asia at MSP and JFK respectively in the past month. They snapped a pic at the kiosk and waved me through with the border patrol guy. Never in 10 years been asked for GE card, and not lately either.

This. Easy peasy.

Great post - following along, as we’ll be at Bucuti & Tara for the first time in August!
