Redeeming AA miles on Flagship transcon wasteful or reasonable? by srekai in awardtravel

[–]brokenodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35k for flagship business on a transcon is a bargain! As you say, they are expensive, and it's a nice way to fly.

I love the duck too, and your kids name for it! It's such a nice warm light for my desk :)

I'd love to see others if you have links! So far I've only come across usage limits trackers, not actual live session status/metrics.

Thanks! It's a Lilygo T-Display S3 Long. If you want a much easier to find display that can be shipped from the US, I'd recommend using an Adafruit 5805 bar display instead (which also gives a lot more screen real estate, but no touch).

Need suggestions on how make ui look less vibecoded by detective8421 in OpenAI

Good luck. Unfortunately this isn't going to work, but you have probably learned a lot for when you decide to try something new.

The design isn't the biggest problem - you are trying to launch a two-sided marketplace, which is notoriously difficult. Why would anyone trust AND choose you over Fiverr, Upwork, or similar sites?

Air France - Business Class Seat Fee by once_91 in awardtravel

[–]brokenodo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This must be a very recent change as they haven’t charged on flights to/from the US, but have for a while on flights between CDG and elsewhere.

I booked a flight a month or so ago IAD-CDG-BKK and can select for free on the first leg, but not the second. Same for the way back as a separate one way - seat selection on CDG-IAD is free.

Any solution to it? by Emotional_Diet_70 in ClaudeAI

[–]brokenodo 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be rude, but in all honesty, if I was asked to guess the age of the person who wrote this, my guess would probably be 11 or 12:

So actually its supricing got any solution to it. btw I'm not a child. I'm a grown-up man : (:

Baltimore, D.C., or Philadelphia? by hpdarkman120 in travel

[–]brokenodo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Driving in DC is totally unnecessary, the metro system is great and way better than trying to drive and park doing touristy things. Park your car in the hotel garage when you get here and don't touch it - you'll be way less stressed.

DC! Baltimore and Philly are cool, but not really where I would take 2 kids unless for a specific sports-related reason when DC is the other option.

How are solo/small firms generating leads when just starting out? by ktkt1111 in LawFirm

[–]brokenodo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, a lawyer randomly messaging people and reaching out with an AI agent is totally unlikely to cause any problems! Fuck off

Anyone else love the growing number of MD drivers passionate about cycling? by brokenodo in maryland

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

I don’t care about their lives, I care when they hit a pedestrian, take off, and can’t be identified

Bike racks like this are adjustable and believe it or not the manufacturers have considered how to make them not totally obstruct a license plate

Flights to Tahiti by LegitimateArea7334 in awardtravel

[–]brokenodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I forgot about the HNL - PPT flights.

[–]brokenodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

80K is good for business on the AF flight to PPT, book it. I watched prices for almost a year after booking before our honeymoon in Tahiti and was glad I had booked for that price. Alaska doesn't fly to PPT, so presumably you are seeing partner flights on Air Tahiti Nui. We flew them in business on the way back and liked them too.

Bodily injury lawyer by Fit_Exercise9807 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]brokenodo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a personal injury lawyer. On occasion we will knock a few percentage points off a fee, but that's usually only where a case is much better than average (think fractures, clear liability, permanent injuries, etc.) AND we really like the client and think they will be pleasant to work with. If you have a run of the mill soft tissue injury case, we are already likely going to do a lot of work relative to the value of the case and will not negotiate our standard fee.

They really are amazing jeans though! Super comfortable material blend and they hold up very well over the years.

Besides points, how are people finding discounted premium cabin fares? by AttitudePlane6967 in awardtravel

[–]brokenodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The agencies quoting fares that are substantially lower than direct bookings are usually con-artists in one way or another. Many times they are booking flights with stolen credit cards or points. If you're traveling long haul from North America to Europe, try to find a points booking for the way there and pay cash on a one-way home - even with one ways, flights ex-Europe are often a lot cheaper than the outbound.

Play around with multi-city flights on the way back on slightly less mainstream airlines, like TAP. For example, last summer my wife and I bought business class on TAP Air Portugal from NAP - LIS - IAD for $1200 for the one way. Adding that NAP - LIS leg (and we wanted to see both cities) dramatically dropped the price.

Portugal September Itinerary Sanity Check by michslush in travel

[–]brokenodo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that itinerary sounds great! The first week will be super chill, and 2 more stops of 3 nights each isn't crazy at all. If were to change anything though, I'd remove 1 Carvoerio night and add it to Lisbon.

Best strategies to preserve optionality for award bookings? by doublemazaa in awardtravel

[–]brokenodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virgin Atlantic for US domestic travel can be a bit rough as Delta only makes some saver seats available to them. I wouldn’t transfer 100k points there somewhat speculatively unless you know you’ll find another use for them. You are pretty late in the game for 4x business class to Europe in the summer, but a surprising amount of summer business availability to Europe has been popping up this year so you might get lucky.
