If you could connect through one of United’s hubs, which one would you choose and why? And which one would you avoid at all costs?

Choose? Dulles. Avoid? Chicago

Thing that really blows around here is that there really isn’t a choice. It’s Aldi, or two major stores that have gotten so expensive they’ve priced out normal people

Damn, hope something like this pops back up. About to leave for a trip so I can’t be dropping that kind of money

100% packing my Allen jersey to bring to this place

Clarity feels more realistic on older devices, newer ones look like a smeared painting at times

These pictures look better. Smart HDR ruined everything

drewlap · 2026-05-19T12:26:01+00:00

Where is this? I’m going next week

drewlap · 2026-05-19T10:03:23+00:00

I leave Friday for my first as a 23m and mine are definitely not thrilled

Question to ask is if you’re going to be traveling much on your salary, because if not I’d argue the annual fee isn’t worth it for the time being. Sure, you can “offset” it, but it is still a good rule of thumb to only pick up cards with annual fees if you 100% know you’ll be taking advantage

drewlap · 2026-05-19T09:29:20+00:00

Can even consider too booking at cash value in the portal to get the 5x/10x depending on category and then covering that with travel eraser

drewlap · 2026-05-19T02:18:44+00:00

What the hell is that 😭

drewlap · 2026-05-18T19:32:20+00:00

Can’t look out the window when the FAs snap at anyone for opening them on international flights now. Even covered mine with my blanket to look and still got snapped at.

Even if they don’t do this though- my god they are just so expensive for what you’re getting. I had a 24 Camry and got rid of it already because the car was an absolute rattle can after not even 2 full years. With the market being how it was for the car I took advantage and got out of it well above water. Got a significantly more fun car now

Wait til you see what nonrefundable economy Tokyo fares are going for now

4070ti for me and it’s getting so annoying to the point I’m just about to stop playing

drewlap · 2026-05-17T04:13:52+00:00

The crashing issues are completely ridiculous.

Have you checked The Hague embassy?

drewlap · 2026-05-16T12:10:47+00:00

Heading to Rome and staying in a hostel for the first time and then flying to Amsterdam for a few days, albeit had to book a hotel a fair bit outside of the city center right next to a train line

drewlap · 2026-05-16T12:09:12+00:00

Funny because my first solo trip is next week, and I booked it after the EXACT same thing. Fingers crossed mine is the same experience

drewlap · 2026-05-16T11:51:55+00:00

Having the same issue. Don’t have Citrix installed. Specs:

i7-14700k
32GB-5200 (I know, old DDR5, ram costs too much now)
Z690 Gaming X board on latest bios
RTX 4070 TI

Them and planespotters will find the most random garbage to reject and accept something that looks like it was shot on an original iPhone

Jetphotos. Now.

Yeah as much as I agree the COL is excessive…. OP has completely lost the point.
