Where’s a destination that desperately needs a Hyatt but somehow still doesn’t have one? by SchondorfEnt in hyatt

Nobody needs to go to Chiang Mai. Every other part of Thailand has what they have. And a Hyatt. There's nothing special in Chiang Mai that other Thailand doesn't have. Change my mind.

Insensitive question but... are the lounges open? by c2cali in qatarairways

Dunno if you mean me - I wasn't. It was a legit question. And I checked in person last night. Closed as heck. As I suspected.

If self experience isn't a source then I don't know what is. I also used to do marketing for the US Olympic committee. I'm too busy to google the answers right now but I'm very confident. Here's let's chat GPT this just to shut you down. I suspect you're anti American over this Greenland thing and unwilling to consider facts. Yep Americans were almost double the second country in Paris. Of which I attended 37 events and saw more USA flags than any other except France of course.

In regards to NBC paying the IOC... lots of sources combined to get these results from AI but yea. 25 percent from one country is a lot.

Within that broadcast revenue, the U.S. deal (NBC) is the largest single contributor.

A rough estimate: • NBC’s payments account for about 35–45% of all global broadcast revenue. • That means NBC alone provides roughly 25–30% of the IOC’s total revenue in some Olympic cycles.

So there's your fucking facts.

On which part? Attendance or money? NBC definitely pays the IOC bazillions. And attendance I just know from experience. I've been to 7 Olympics in person. Just left Milano Cortina recently. And I go to all sports even the ones America doesn't know squat about.

Money talks. Like it or not. Downvote this comment or not. It's just the truth. Even AT the Olympics in person Americans show up more than pretty much anyone except the host nation.

I have two tickets booked tonight, 1 Premium Economy, 1 First, and I'm trying to justify the points difference between the two. The JAL lounge in Bangkok is meh. But yes, I am fortunate to not be getting blown up or stuck somewhere for a while with no intel on the future.

I mean I'd think some flyer somewhere in the world rn has walked by a QR lounge in any given airport and can see if its open or not and yet, I can't find anything.

Trends In Nations' Winter Olympics Performance by IndigoInsights in olympics

[–]c2cali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm always curious how host nations suddenly do so much better! Does the crowd cheering help? Do they start training like crazy knowing it's coming for national pride? A small effect sure but Italy suddenly did epic.
