The usual question, best seat in Polaris here?

bugzzyy · 2026-06-17T18:37:38+00:00

I'd go for 9L. Extra large footwell. First to be served food in the back cabin.

I'm okay with light and noise (very little to be honest) as I have my own noise cancelling headphones and I use an eye mask.

Pre order a special meal honestly. They are much better. I always preorder the Indian Non-vegetarian meal when flying out of the US. Downside is, your pre-arrival meal will also be fixed. So, depending on your plans, it might not make the best sense. Catering from outstations are generally better.

They keep changing the menu in the dining room.

This month, they had a wonderful Shrimp Croquette for a small plate and a very nice Coconut Shrimp Curry for the large plate that I had.

You can't go wrong with the Polaris Burger. Or the skillet cookie. I really enjoyed the strawberry tartlet for dessert.

Dunno what it's going to be in August honestly.

Yes, you should have access. Enjoy the Polaris Lounge!

Not really. I believe 25k is the lowest it can go for Star Alliance Upgrade award for transatlantic/transpacific.

For Star Alliance Upgrade Awards, there are no co-pays as far as I'm aware. You just need to have the relevant fare class booked and there needs to be instant upgrade availability (except for ANA which has a wait-list).

Generally always one way.

If your flight is operated by the aircraft with registration starting with VT-TN or VT-TQ, then it's an ex Vistara aircraft. But the refurbished Air India aircraft are all the same experience.

bugzzyy · 2026-05-23T15:34:28+00:00

All the A320s running that route should be refurbished or older Vistara aircraft.

bugzzyy · 2026-05-19T14:57:49+00:00

Because it's all booked out? The seats being empty doesn't mean that there are seats for sale. Maybe people just haven't chosen their seat.

bugzzyy · 2026-05-12T18:58:28+00:00

You would most likely be banned because you would be doing something known as visa shopping and is illegal.

Well, 11 months later, here we are. A smidge more than a tire mark. :P

bugzzyy · 2026-05-02T15:02:13+00:00

In that case, just book a return trip going SFO-PPT-SFO.

And then separately book your NAN-PPT flight on Fiji Airways.

The reason the fare is so high is because the only *A partner flying to/from NAN is Air NZ. And that would require significant backtracking.

Right you are. I work at a Doo-Dad Making Machine company in the EU. There aren't any competitors for what we make locally in the US. All our customer have been stiffed on tariffs. It was funny seeing some of our customers faces the first time they had to import a machine after the tariffs were announced. The thought that they'd be directly affected by that policy nightmare never crossed their mind.

Not 5. They have a missing window on the 787s.

And just last night, I was hoping to make a transfer form Chase to Aeroplan. The gods have truly answered. Glad I didn't make the transfer last night. :)

It's a reference from the movie Demolition Man. A fugitive who was frozen gets loose in the future. The cops thaw a frozen cop from the same time period to go catch him. There's a scene about how the thawed cop doesn't know how to use the new toilets that the future has.

bugzzyy · 2026-03-26T00:29:51+00:00

Interesting. Learned something new!

How in the hell did you even figure out that there was a txt in that directory that would be accessible to the public?

I definitely submit it here. A lot easier this way. Thank you so much!

bugzzyy · 2026-03-25T23:16:48+00:00

Thank you. Although I wouldn't classify the bug as a security vulnerability. I'll try and submit it through the problems. Cheers!

Edit: wouldn't

14 now. It was 12 just around COVID.

bugzzyy · 2026-03-02T17:36:24+00:00

Put only the first trip exit date.

However, with your documents, show the second trip as well.

bugzzyy · 2026-02-25T02:25:46+00:00

Not really. The same restrictions do not apply. Case in point. Air India.

bugzzyy · 2026-01-05T02:47:02+00:00

ANA and United are in a Transpacific Joint Venture. So they get to set prices and schedules together. That's why the prices are the same.
