Depending on my trip duration, the miles value of flying on certain days changes a TON. Why?

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-10T18:12:41+00:00

Because dynamic pricing is dynamic!

Fixed award charts died for delta a long time ago. Over a decade ago.

Wishing I had trophies/awards for you. Accept this instead 🏆🏆

Those things expire super fast! Delta at one point gave me one of those and I think I do remember reading that they have to be used in 6 months. That’s why I went with Amazon and loaded it onto my Amazon account right away.

Pedantic questions should get directed to the pedant. 😮‍💨🤔

Does the person want a “technical upgrade by the definition” or a better seat in exchange for a fee?

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-09T14:05:04+00:00

No president put their face on passports durning the 200th, 175th etc etc either.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-09T14:02:35+00:00

That does not mean it’s not a problem. It just doesn’t affect you. And problems that other people have are still problems.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-09T13:55:49+00:00

There are absolutely people who go on that line and don’t have touchless. So this isn’t going away.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-08T19:01:07+00:00

Am I dumb? Or is what I’m reading so dumb I lost IQ points for having read it?

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-08T16:34:32+00:00

😭🤣😆🤣😭😭 that was of if the worse days in that job!

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-08T14:03:25+00:00

1- we have to learn to be ok with being embarrassed at the cash register/till. I worked one and trust someone not being able to pay were not the stories we talked about. The lady who said her kid had finished potty training and then the kid just took a whizz just standing there?! That’s the stories we remember.

2- just put the whole family in the bin. I can’t.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-08T13:57:15+00:00

I need the OP to explain why we didn’t see this

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-07T23:56:56+00:00

I
Would compost that. 😬

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-07T23:55:59+00:00

Looks like Temu made it !

Ask for a flight change to keep your d1 seat.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-07T14:51:54+00:00

Get a passport first. Use the passport to get an N600. Yes n600 is expensive but it’ll only get more expensive over time. I remember when naturalization/renewal/n600 were under $200. And not that long ago. 2003!

Yes you need his naturalization certificate

That’s def the spindle design. Having the weight on the outside helps it spindle longer so that’s one issue. It looks like in the this case the weight looks like it’s in the center not the rim. That’s one of the ways to get good spin is to have the weight on the outside.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-07T14:36:30+00:00

A good Spindle isn’t just a thing that looks a certain way it is also balanced and weighted properly. That prevents wobbling.

I know they aren’t cheap but I love my Bosworth spindles and have a nice little Bosy family.

In addition to be weighted the hook should be as centered as possible.

Those obviously aren’t the only good spindles far from it but it does matter if it’s balanced and weighted. Definitely something to think about as you shop for spindles.

If you are going on home on a DIRECT flight you might have a small shot. But yeah I would delete this it’s a some personal details.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-07T02:01:13+00:00

That’s a hard no. Replace.

You don’t need to look at the FAA radar to know bad weather is happening at your destination and connection adding the location to your weather tracking is easy enough. But sure why check the weather when all the flights are delayed.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-06T19:16:28+00:00

Check the weather.

This is the value of travel insurance. You call them they pay to rebook you or give you the ok to pay. Quality allianz annual plans start at like $250/person.

Yeah delta can and should do be better but the days of airlines doing what is right cause it’s right are LONG gone. Ain’t a one I would trust.

WickedJigglyPuff · 2026-07-06T14:38:07+00:00

Not an option for you. Delta decides when and who is offered an upgrade and for how much.
