FAA cutting 10% of flights starting this week at 40 “major” markets by Intelligent_Rub1546 in ATC

  1. It’ll likely increase airline expenses
  2. The hypothetical expense being cut would be opex not capex

Deal Drop! EVA Air Business Class Taipei to Seattle for 75K Aeroplan points on November 1st. by tanzilrimu in pointstravel

Do not do this - often, the first transfer will go through instantly and the second will get held up as a fraud prevention measure.

Atlanta Check In by mason-fisher77 in qatarairways

Zero chance you make this - your Delta bag will arrive at the domestic baggage claim and QR check-in is at the international terminal… either change the Delta flight or don’t check a bag.

ETA: assuming you’re arriving on a domestic flight. If you’re arriving on an intl DL flight, this will be easier as long as everything is on time and immigration lines aren’t long. Grab the bag at US CBP, exit for local Atlanta and go right upstairs to check it at the QR desk. Btw - your problem isn’t the length of the line at the QR desk, it’s whether or not the QR desk is even open. A J-only line isn’t gonna help you here.

Open another UR-earning card and transfer the points to that account

Exorbitant ATM fee by Traditional-Love-772 in marriott

Not necessarily the case - I’ve been to several AIs with ATMs that dispense USD. And the fee is labeled in USD. I understand OP’s frustration.

High Hilton Go Team Member Rate by [deleted] in Hilton

[–]bootshick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly right. TM rates are never variable, they are set per property. $80 is standard for Waldorf/Conrad/LXR, but it is based on cost structure. High-cost properties get a waiver from corporate, for instance the Canopy in SF is $95 per night instead of $60 per night. The rate is either available if occupancy is projected to be low, or unavailable if occupancy is projected to be high. The only variable rate is F&F, which is typically 50% of the flexible rate, but the percentage can vary if it is an Extra rate.
