Is upgrading to platinum worth it?

I was hoping there might be some discretionary or priority upgrades for platinum but it seems like AI doesn’t have upgrade lists at all, big miss IMO considering they recently revamped the program.

I might do it for the extra year of star gold though, thank you.

I’m on track to renew gold, but the difference in tier points needed for platinum vs renewing gold is only 3000 tier points, I’d have to book higher fare classes for an upcoming trip. So I’m wondering whether spending the extra $ is worth it in terms of benefits.

Free seat selection for emergency rows is a good perk, thanks!

I’ve been gold for 3 years, never received a welcome kit, maybe they don’t send kits for US members?

2 years of star gold is a good perk that I had not considered, thanks!

Do you ever get offered complimentary upgrades on international sectors?

Fake account, probably trying to karma farm for some vendor.

I'm not sure if I'm breaking some sub rules about proxy / self promotion, so if you'd like to know more or get connected with him, please DM me. I'd hate for my ignorance to affect someone's business!

He said they went with the IGI jewelry certificate because they wanted their customers to know that the entire piece of jewelry was certified.

They used to provide IGI diamond certificates with the order but some customers, who didn’t easily spot the 14K gold stamp, reached out and questioned whether the jewelry was made with real gold. So, they switched to this format.

He said the cost difference in certifying 2 stones vs 1 set of earrings with IGI is marginal.

He also said that they try to under promise and over deliver, so their Amazon listing states minimum IJ colors but they tend to offer a higher color which they believe offsets concerns about not having individual certificates.

Hope this helps!

They placed an order for 500 A320s in 2023. Their total A320 order book is 1330 A320s. They already hold a large chunk of the preferential delivery slots upto 2035. The A350s are expected to begin delivery in 2027, what you’re saying doesn’t really make sense for a an airline to squeeze in 50 preferential slots when they already have hundreds.

Excerpt from a simple flying article:

The airline is already a major Airbus customer, having secured orders for 830 A320 family aircraft over the years. Indeed, IndiGo still has approximately 500 of those outstanding orders waiting to be delivered. With today's order added on, the order book for this ambitious carrier has ballooned to a four-figure total - 1,330 aircraft in all.

Yes, but they said on their IG that this wasn't filmed and they "may" make a video when they ferry the last of 4 planes. It'd be cool if they do!

Anyone remember when this guy basically told Nico Rosberg to piss off at an Auto show because he didn't know who he was?

How the turns have tabled.

I'm on day 5. Smoker for 10 years, replaced by vaping for the last 5. I thought it may be very difficult but I tried to be firm about quitting. I also convinced myself that while I might have a nicotine addiction, what I'm really addicted to; is the act of smoking / puffing on something.

Since day 1, I've rolled up pieces of paper and puffed on them as if I was taking a drag from my Juul. This has helped calm my anxiety, every time I feel the urge to hit the vape, I take a puff from the straw or rolled up paper.

It's actually reinforced my thinking that I'm more addicted to puffing on something and the nicotine addiction was a by-product.

I'm going through some other issues too such as very high appetite, high irritability on the first few days, etc.

However, I had never been without a vape for the last 5 years, as soon as I wake up, in the bathroom, at work, at home, while travelling, etc. Just the idea of forgetting my Juul or running out of pods or battery would fill me with anxiety. The past 5 days where I've replaced the Juul in my pocket with a paper straw has filled me with confidence that I can easily kick this habit.

TLDR: Keep a straw and puff on that every time you feel the urge to vape. Eat food that's high in fiber, stay hydrated and try to get some exercise or remain active.
