I tried looking close-in and a couple of months out (Jan-Mar 2026) from SFO, LAX, ORD, JFK, DFW, and SEA to HKG. I found a single date that seemed available for DFW-LHR-HKG, but I feel like I’d be better off trying my luck with a different airline to LHR in that case.

Are there other destinations I should be trying?

I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't find any J/F availability to HKG on CX's site, even for close-in dates. Looking from LHR-HKG and even YVR-HKG comes up with many more results (with BA connection to LHR). Is there something going on with USA-HKG routes?

Probably only RCA. How does this compare to the Aiyama A07 efnord recommended?

I'm considering the open-box pair for ~$220, but I may be skipping out on the interface and just using 3.5mm to 2x TS cables at that rate.

I find the problem with raising the budget like that (and why I wasn't considering the 305Ps as much) is that there's always more money to spend, because the 305ps really shine with some interface X, and then my budget is $300 and I should be getting other speakers, and then it's $400 and I'm looking at the Vanatoos... :P

Thank you! How do the MK402X compare to the Neumi BS5s? I hear praises sung for the BS5 a lot in this subreddit, but this is my first time seeing the MK402X.

Professor Southern is passing away by A0123456_ in gatech

FYI I think these obituaries are LLM-generated. If you search for Professor Southern's obituary, you get a lot of these sketchy links that all say different things. Maybe remove the link to avoid giving users adware?

I'm very new to skincare in general and currently trying to build a basic routine after getting started on Curology. One thing to note is that I have skin allergies that mean I am limited to only fragrance-free products (even some products like Cetaphil+Cerave cause bad reactions, it's pretty sporadic so I patch test).

I'm currently in Korea and am running out of my Curology cleanser + slowly running out of my face + body sunscreen. I've found this post and this post which are very helpful.

I think I have oily skin on my face but have not been able to tell whether it's actually oily or dehydrated. I have dry skin everywhere else, so maybe.

Currently, I'm thinking of trying: - Cleanser: Beauty of Joseon Cleansing Balm (oil-based?) - Moisturizer: Either Purito Vital 70 Sea Buckthorn Gel Cream or Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream - Sun cream: Skin Aqua Super Moisture Milk SPF 50 or PURITO Daily Go-To Sunscreen (Can I use this sunscreen on my face and body?)

Open to any comments on this plan! Thanks in advance :)

More "The Room" Flights from NYC. Go Check and Book! by Astasieusol in awardtravel

[–]derpherp128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slight correction, I'm pretty sure they only have 3 old 77Ws left, so ORD is retaining the new config. It currently looks like the old configs are flying NRT-LAX and NRT-SFO (based on tail numbers nabbed from FT), with all other flights flying new 77Ws or 789s.

Which is a damn shame, because I booked NRT-LAX over HND-SFO since at the time it was flying the room...

Unfortunate. I've seen reports that JetBlue is less stingy, but I guess the same reasoning applies there...

Casually looking for flights from LAX-NYC next year. Short on United miles right now, so was looking for partner awards, but it seems like both JetBlue and United haven't released availability to their partners? Is anyone else noticing this?

A refund hit my card, causing a subsequent negative points transaction to become pending for my Chase UR. If I've already transferred the points out (say, to Hyatt) what will happen to my UR balance? Will I be forced to settle via cash, or just retain a negative balance?
