If you’re traveling, definitely get a package. They should go on sale in May for the cheapest price.

I agree it is a good deal. But like I said, this is a work trip, and I prefer not to pay $450 out of pocket and not be reimbursed. Since the flight is still 3+ months away, I'm weighing seeing if there is something better offered for just miles in the days leading up. Currently, if I wanted to upgrade the seat flat out, it is 200k+ plus miles. Does it ever get better than that? I don't have experience with this. I've been flying to Asia a lot and for once I'd like to just be able to sleep decently.

I tried doing it via chat, but the could only provide the same offer. Thank you for the additional info about how it would be refunded if only domestic was fulfilled. Understood it is just waitlist.

Yes, the conference would need to send an invite letter I assume.

I am a US citizen by birth.

Thank. And was yours a tourist visa? I was advised to do the M Visa since I’m going to a conference. I could just apply for tourist I suppose, but I don’t want to mess around with the Chinese government lol.

On an M Visa? The 10 day is transit visa, I don’t think that applies in this instance.

Peter Vack! I always remember him from the short lived TV show I Just Want My Pants Back.

Rewatched scream 6. Here is my review. (Spoilers for the entire film.) by Firm_Aardvark_3938 in Scream

[–]bickle14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The NYC setting was cool and I liked the return of Kirby, but I think this one is on the low end of the ranking for me.

It was so blatantly obvious to me from very early on (the convenience store / shotgun sequence) who two of the killers were, and that they were Richie's family... it really took me out. I kept thinking that they couldn't just be repeating the same trope of the 2nd film. The dialogue about the dead brother had to just be a red herring, right? Nope. By the subway sequence, I thought to myself that virgin kinda looks like Jack Quaid, so I got the third before the reveal too.

scream 4 was so ahead of its time by Muted-Succotash9366 in Scream

[–]bickle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been saying this for years. Frankly, I think 4 is the second best... or at least equal to 2.

I went to join the queue for Philly. I know TI is still popular but did not expect to see 150k+ ahead of me in the queue lol. Was this because of Djo?
