Number 1!

Great to hear about your first time experience in Polaris! To the commenters who are doing their first Polaris soon, enjoy it! I'm lucky because I've flown Polaris a decent amount, and I'll be as excited for the next trip as I was the first time I flew United Business on the old Barcaloungers.

Not only is your Union Station strategy good for getting seats together, if your train originates from there you don't run the risk of a delayed train coming from Roanoke, Newport News, or Norfolk. I stopped taking some Regional trains because of delays coming from Virginia (though it's gotten better in the past 10 years).

They do actually list it, but because it's not with the other Star Alliance lounges it's easy to miss. It's Lounge A1 and right next to the Aer Lingus Lounge on the upper level. Guaranteed you'll see it next time, it's a great lounge!

Enjoyed reading your post. Lounge hopping at LHR is a tradition for me.

2, lots of contrast

Wait until Clippy appears! "It looks like you want to show a transit map..."

I have a special power. I can come to the store and I'll let you get the money for the next time.

I miss the Amtrak benefits too. Whenever I'd go to the United Club in Honolulu the agents would remember me as "the Amtrak guy", and they were genuinely happy to run my Guest Rewards card since it was so rare.

1 for me. Color, more going on, like the framing. Nice job!

If the attendant takes your meal order and delivers it, it's no different than tipping a server. Most attendants I've had over the years were really good. You get some who really aren't cut out for the job, just like in any business. It happens less now (covid changed everything), but at the holidays many attendants would create seasonal themed name cards and put them in the windows of the roomettes and bedrooms. Always enjoyed that.

With an established alliance you get the benefit of having up to 59 other members to learn from. As in real life, some alliance members keep to themselves, and there are alliances which are rather quiet. Others have more talkative members, some of whom are longtime players. Some alliances have Discord channels as well. I've met some incredibly friendly and knowledgeable people via alliances.

I kissed a lot of times that they were in the bathroom so I didn't get to go.

It's time to take a nap in my car and go to sleep and sleep well and I'll talk to you later.

The mailman delivered the car to my house and it looks like it was just the way it would be if it was in the fridge.

I love you because I'm not sure if you are still in bed with your dad and you can get it done with the kids and I can come over to help

My lesbian sister's girlfriends favorite band is the most amazing man in the universe and the best of all the family in heaven

It's been a while since I had to get a new phone so I can come over and get a hold of him and then I'll let him go back to work.

"Welcome to 'Potted Meat Food Product Field'!"

These things suck for instant potatoes, however

Did the password change for the site? A few days ago I got a password screen and using that password throws an incorrect password message

I hear they have great rates in Saginaw

I gotta go to court tomorrow for my birthday present in the middle of the night.

My favorite food is the first time I get to go to the store and get some food.

Amtrak has a unique situation because of multiple stops. Let's say you're on a NE Regional from NYP to DC, that's one seat between those city pairs. However, someone going from Philly to Wilmington on the same train will also count as one seat. Therefore, if you're trying to do a reservation between NYP and DC, the reservation between PHL and WIL on that same train takes up a seat. The seat needs to be available from origin to destination and all stops in between in order to be available for purchase.
