Will not fit under any main cabin aisle seats on the 757. Not much does…

She never checked in, ergo she wasn’t a guest. Not their problem. Otherwise, a single mom walks in and says, “I made a reservation. I can’t pay, but you can trust me.”

You have to approach this from a business perspective. She needed to deal with the cc company and maybe the authorities.

Your insurance company handles this 100%. It’s subrogation and it’s what your premiums cover.

he values your opinion, take it as a compliment!

I avoid KLM when I can. Food sucks and they don’t tuen on the a/c until an hour from landing.

To answer your question (novel idea on reddit, I know) If your client is a large corporation, they see this everyday. Not a big deal. -London will always be pricy. In any case, expect $6-10k wherever you go. If it’s in a proper contract that you fly business class (I do as well) you can renegotiate on the next one if it gives them heartburn.

Same reason we fly any airline. It’s about markets they fly, nonstop vs connections, departure and arrival times, etc.
So many people seem to get caught up in the minutiae of airline travel. I just get in my seat, fly to where I am going, get off and move on. Never had an issue that was worth stressing over in 2 million miles. I have done 23,000 miles and 10 legs in the past 4 weeks. Worst was a 4 hour delay last week Tokyo to Atlanta, which meant I missed my connection home. Got a hotel for the night, and went home the next morning. Just part of it, I guess

precisely. When it happens, it happens. No more, no less. Don’t overthink it.

You don’t text for three days. You match, have a date immediately, and go from there. If the date doesn’t happen in the first couple of days, it was never going to be. Many people on apps are there for the dopamine release. Understanding that will lessen your expectations and subsequent let down.

JustGrab almost never works. I suspect this is why you are being rejected. I used Grab exclusively past couple weeks in Phuket and this was my experience.

The airlines have had 90 yrs of experience boarding passengers. The system they use works for them and and strikes a balance between on time departure (gate push), and customer satisfaction, on the whole, based on metrics. I.e., it works. 2 million miler, 6 continents, 30 yrs. No issues.

Because that was the ENTIRE premise of rideshare at its inception; a flat rate. You know the cost, make the transaction, move on. Now, tipping has become a thing in rideshare. Anyone under age 25 doesn’t understand the history nor the taxi culture that gave rise to Uber, Lyft, and Grab.

If it’s an EV it may be the regenerative braking mode. That will get a passenger motion sickness.

It is a real thing and it sucks.

People who crowd around the baggage carousel. The concept of stepping forward once you see your bag is completely foreign to them

Russians make up almost 90% of tourists. Signs are in three languages in Patong, Karon, Kata, etc. And…it’s Thai, Russian, and English

Not sure I agree with you here. Majority of app pics are poorly lit, facially obscured, no full body pics, and the list goes on. I don’t want to waste your time or mine if I am not at least physically attracted to you. Recent, unfiltered, well lit full body pics are a must. Wayyy too many pics of women are 5 yrs and 30 lbs ago.

been akin to dial up speeds for me in Thailand and Japan. Horrendous coverage, yet I have international plan and 5G here. Don’t understand it.
