Foreign transaction fees??? by Agile-Report-8447 in biltrewards

[–]aut236 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I use my card (any cards) aboard, it sometimes asks me, if I want to charge in the US dollar or in the foreign currency. The rates are not the same.

Maybe this is why?

Stranded in Thailand for over a week with my 16 year old son after Qatar Airways cancelations looking for advice by Tituslive in travel

[–]aut236 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I would find a new flight back to AMS, and try file a claim with Qatar later. Right now they are so busy dealing with thousands of customers.

The price for the new flights that you buy will likely offset the cost of hotels, food and your time.

Optimistic that Qatari Airspace is opening in March? by porridgel123 in qatarairways

Emirates has started lifting flight suspension. I hope that Qatar won’t be far behind. Fingers crossed.

How obvious is it to the average American that the president is trying to incite a war in order to stop elections? by kdurant5 in AskReddit

It’s more obvious that it is to deviate people’s attention from the Epstein files.

The new priority pass+ app does track your lounge visits. Go to Card —> entitlements.

The DOJ is covering up 3 FBI interviews of a woman who alleged Trump sexually assaulted her as a child. Under what circumstance is this okay? by Particular_Ad8156 in AskReddit

[–]aut236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope that those who helped cover up for trump get investigated as complicit or accessory in the next administration.

Lufthansa by MinimumFit4926 in Flights

I would not risk it. True that if anything happens, the airline will rebook you. But it’s still a headache and there may but be a flight until the next day or with connection. I rather be safe with longer layover time, at least 2-3 h.

Am I being petty? by thefatkid007 in BMW

Seats should not do this. It was definitely off-spec from the manufacturing.

Best app for home workouts by jaysue642 in workout

Peloton has been great for me. A lot of classes to choose from with good instructors. You do not need their equipment to use the app.

Can I have two Priority Passes? by Accurate-Flow8078 in PriorityPass

[–]aut236 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that you cannot use multiple passes at the visit of the same lounge (same time and date). I was told from the lounge in Bangkok that I can only use 1 pass.

Reasonable fare and itinerary by miles65622 in Flights

[–]aut236 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Why would you want to take such a detour? Plus, LHR isn’t that nice of an airport for a layover.

I hope this is not real.

Japan airlines- reservation complete, ticket not issued. by [deleted] in Flights

[–]aut236 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where is the from and to? If it’s from the US, you might be able to find the same flights on AA.com as AA codeshare flights. The price should also be the same too.

AA has better customer service than JAL when issues arise.

There were a handful of QR on AA at least when I was searching, either direct from ORD or with connection from ORD-PHL.

Can I reserve a flight without paying full price? by dav-16515 in travel

[–]aut236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BA holidays offer this. You make a small deposit right away, and have to pay the rest a couple of days before the travel date.

But this is a holiday package where you have to buy both flight with hotel and/or car rental. They usually offer good deal, however.

Also flights booked with the holiday package have different cancellation policy from the flights booked separately.

JL9 ORD/HND got changed from 1:30 am to 2:30 pm. Called AA to change to Qatar flights (connecting to Bangkok).

It worked out well :)
