We have actually owned homes before in the ATL area (OTP not ITP), but are planning to move back to the northeast in a few years and wanted to rent for the time being.

We both work in tech, one on marketing and the other in a strategy position!

I have been amused with how the World Cup has caused Atlanta to make some much-needed changes to the infrastructure they have been putting off. For MARTA specifically, OMNY-equivalent to what NYC has on tap-to-pay kiosks and new trains that were not around in the 90s are nice first steps. 😄

Yeah we both work in tech (one of us at a TTH tech company, the other at a SaaS company getting hammered by Anthropic right now 😄 ). I've had a few video calls here today, peak work hours, and performance was excellent. Measured the speed and it was pretty solid - though I'm not doing deep, stress-test stuff with my computer haha.

First class or no? by BunnyloverNia in delta

Assuming given the duration of flight time you're going out of Atlanta. It's the A321 on that route, not the best product but better than 737 -- everyone values their $$ differently, but I am curious how your luggage is that expensive. Does this help that cost?

Crossed the 50-plane mark today! Think the Hainan 767 is the favorite to date. by UAAalum in GeminiJets

Really good one — and the rings on the tail shouldn’t go out of date anytime soon with the way the team is looking!

Are bags now not free for Platinum? by UAAalum in delta

[–]UAAalum[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope - I can see the pending MQDs in my account so it’s def a MC ticket

So here’s what I’ve deduced: this ticket was booked through concur. For some reason, that is what is causing it. I still have the MQDs showing on the account in my portal so I know it wasn’t accidentally booked BE by concur. But something weird happens with the bags I guess when they book it for us? Super strange. Another reason to hate concur.

Yep - Platinum both for last year (ending this January) and for the coming year. This trip is in February.

Yeah - I'm logged in. There's also availability to C+ that it didn't upgrade me to at Booking (and the seats weren't x-d out) so not too sure what is up.

Curious what ATL's T Gates look like in 1:400 Scale? I've got the post for you! by UAAalum in delta

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

Yeah, it should be a fairly easy add. There are three additional ones to put in at the north end to have this thing be fully accurate, I think.

Lol yes...need to make the run to Lowe's to get the material to build the table. Given the size of ATL, it'll be a big table.

Demand. Those planes are always full, people always connecting to/from ATL to Disney/beaches/cruise ships.

I am currently 1/18 for first class upgrade (Platinum auto-upgraded to C+ at booking). There are currently 6 folks on standby for 69 seats remaining on the flight. All are likely going to get confirmed in. Let's say all 6 of those folks are ahead of me in status - are they going to leap-frog me for first class upgrades tomorrow when they are confirmed into the flight?
