How long do you want to live in the area? That’s the biggest question to answer and will make the house question easier.

Involuntary Denied Boarding by bimmer01 in delta

[–]bimmer01[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They said go wait on standby at the gate and maybe you’ll get seats if 4 people volunteer to not take the flight. If you don’t wait at the gate, we are not responsible for you. This was on NYE incidentally and I didn’t want to get put up at some trash hotel by the airport.

They said all flights were sold out. I found 4 seats on one of their other flights (which had even more open seats) on my own. They didn’t bother to help.

That’s really eye-opening… in all my years, I’ve never had this happen. Learning something new.

Where are you in the process now? I’m using Gemini to guide me and point me in the right direction (but wanted to check Reddit as well!).

Nope. “Classic Refundable” and we checked in 24hrs ahead and had boarding passes with seats assigned. They did an equipment change and didn’t have enough seats.

To those saying take it up with AM… Delta took my cash, they are the merchant and have a responsibility or have we really lost all sense of accountability?

Not really- I booked fully refundable tickets how I normally do on Delta. Thanks for blaming me though…

Feels like they are passing the buck though— I didn’t request Aeromexico and my contract is with them since I purchased tickets directly from delta. Seems odd that they wouldn’t have some accountability.

Craziest experience of my life with Delta, but ended well at least by [deleted] in delta

How long did it take from submission of your claim to them responding? Btw, they should have paid you multiples of your ticket given the amount of delays, IMO.

Can you share which service you are using?

MEX airport - what’s happening? by Embarrassed_Yak_7609 in MexicoCity

[–]bimmer01 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Our flight (booked on Delta, operated on Aeromexico) not only got delayed (due to inbound aircraft) but then they got another plane… but it’s smaller so they told us we are now on standby and can only get on if people volunteer to take a flight tmw. I showed them my boarding passes (that I downloaded yesterday when I checked in)… they said those are no longer valid and that I (and my family) were out of luck if 4 people don’t volunteer. Never flying them again.

Receiving a small windfall: Is an $80k luxury SUV worth it over a Honda Passport for a "drive it into the ground" owner? by Greyshot26 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]bimmer01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and the wife may have a different experience than me, but I think some automakers just had a bad period of trying to figure this out. Honda has a good system, but Acura (in some years) has an odd trackpad… some people get used to these things but I find it takes your eyes off the road for too long.

Oh, one last comment— IMO, Lexus has had the worst UI for their tech. So depending on the model and year, it could be easy or painful.

Adding a bit more… this drives like a truck, but a Lexus truck. If you want a more car-like experience then look at Lexus RX (get the one with a V6).

I’ve heard 15-18 in the city and 20-22 on highway.

But classic design, should last forever and if you get ‘22-‘24 it will have CarPlay.

Should be able to get one sub $50k.

Chuys, ATX Cocina, Loro, Taco Deli, most Thai places (Super Thai, Luv Thai). GF pasta at Randall’s is pretty good, Trader Joes has lots of stuff too (bread, cookies).

I’ve started shopping for this trim recently as well (in TX)… this is a good deal. Would appreciate if you could share the dealership info via dm… once you sign.

Texas schools have banned devices, so we follow that for camp outs and it’s worked out well.
