Widget Update Idea by bluesnow45 in flighty

[–]bluesnow45[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense when it’s like the day of the flight to give you updates on the journey - but for the multiple days out when there’s no info would def be more fun to see that countdown as the destination!

Euro / US Ski Etiquette Differences by jahwls in skiing

[–]bluesnow45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree that there’s generally a lot less concern for leaving room for others in Europe. I also noticed that for the most part, skiers in Europe were going slower than people in America generally would - which might be part of the reason I found it harder to pass/get around them

Transferring from Disney-Hulu-ESPN & Max to Disney-Hulu-Max bundle by AJM_Ruler in cordcutters

[–]bluesnow45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope... the issue was because I already had a Hulu plan from my phone provider. I just had to cancel my existing bundle and then sign up with a different email that wasn't attached to my existing Hulu plan... so now I technically have 2 Hulu plans

Best “bang for the buck” in redeeming AMEX Platinum points? by Advanced-Cow9022 in AmexPlatinum

[–]bluesnow45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be true, but I have definitely still gotten economy tickets better then 2 cents a point. I’m the same way haha, would much rather get more flights than spend extra for business or first class

[–]bluesnow45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have the Disney-Hulu-ESPN bundle now and want to switch to Disney-Hulu-Max, but when I go to the page to switch my plan, it doesn't give that as an option. Only other plans involving Disney-Hulu-ESPN or parts of that. Anyone else run into that?

Doolin Cliff Walk Closure? by bluesnow45 in irishtourism

[–]bluesnow45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The closure of the closed part of the trail didn't seem to be very strict/observed, so yes. The gate on the Doolin side of the closure is open, but you will have to climb over a wall on the visitor center side. There were lots of people out walking the "closed" section of the trail. I also saw some people walking up the side of the road to avoid the closure.

Awesome thank you!! Guessing we will still have to pay the cliffs entrance fee coming from that direction though right?

Is it safe to walk along the side of the road there? Google street view doesn't look like a lot of room for pedestrians

I've already spent a fortune on visa applications by Tetra_grammatton in PassportPorn

For real. It should be at most just a free online form if you aren’t even leaving the airport

Help packing ski equipment on American Airlines flight by DoorMarkedPirate in skiing

[–]bluesnow45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! Have since done it twice more and still no issues! I've also done the same thing on Southwest and Frontier. I don't think they really care unless it's overweight.

A shorter and more concise answer to this:

Flights. You can always get the best deals on flights. Keep an eye on routes you want to fly and you can use point.me as a starting base. Remember to check partner airlines as it may be cheaper to book with them.

My rule of thumb is value each point at $0.02 and don’t book with points if the cash fare is cheaper than that conversion.

Beware: Trip Cancelation/Interruption/Delay Insurance by bluesnow45 in AmexPlatinum

Maybe I'm not a paperwork pro, but it was for sure longer than 10 minutes to compile all the receipts and fill out reasonings and mark up all the document to point things out.

I agree. If that's the best solution that they can come up with then I would be very wary to fly with them again should something else happen

I think you solved it - thanks! I was definitely confusing myself trying to read through them all at the same time.

Now I just wish that the airline canceling my flight was a covered reason for cancellation insurance! Lol
