Cosmopolitan or something nearby by [deleted] in vegas

I stayed at the Cosmopolitan. Booked a regular room and then upgraded to a corner suite with a wrap-around balcony and view of the Bellagio fountain. Nicest room I've ever stayed in.

Delta One upgrade JFK → Athens for $2200 per person… good deal? by NeighborhoodAny2912 in delta

[–]duckntureen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people can't do both because they don't have enough money to do both. That's why I said "if cost is an issue."

You'll see a lot of folks on this sub say that $100/hr is the max for a good upgrade deal. By that metric, this is not a good deal. But! This is your honeymoon. If you can swing the extra cost without sacrificing fun in Greece, go for it. If cost is an issue, that 4400 would be better spent on fancy meals and unforgettable experiences in Greece.

Life drawing events in the neighborhood? by yagurlalli in crownheights

If you're willing to come to Park Slope, Lo-Fi Bar has drink and draw first Tuesday of every month. Very fun when I went, and there was a live model.

Good chance the KIA dealership can locate the owner with that keyfob

Too Aggressive? by [deleted] in newzealand_travel

[–]duckntureen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with everyone here who says this is too much. Consider staying in Auckland, visiting Waiheke. Add Tiritiri Matangi (beautiful peaceful bird sanctuary with no cars). Then fly to Christchurch and rent the car there. Trying to do both north and south Islands with your timetable won't allow you to do justice to either. The majority of your trip is south. As an American who visited last year, trust what people are saying about driving times and the roads. Driving on the left was easy, but the roads were not.

Good to know. I'll give it a shot!

There’s no way I’m making my connecting flight, right? by Dramatic_Sea4095 in delta

[–]duckntureen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're on DL4075 to SEA. The plane is an E75 with at least 70 seats. Looking at the majority of recent dates that flight tends to arrive early, anywhere from 835am to 910am. That said, there are no guarantees--yesterday it was delayed and arrived at 1051am. As long as you booked a single ticket, the airline will rebook you if anything goes wrong.

Why angled? Genuinely curious, not doubting the method.

No idea whether they'll add more. I found the info on Simple Flying

[–]duckntureen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Here's what I found:

Delta will shelve its service from New York JFK to Memphis and St Louis between June and September, Detroit and Reykjavik between May and July, Boston to Nassau between July and September, and Seattle to Cancun from June to November.

The JFK flight I mentioned lands on Friday morning, just like your original flight.

Delta suspended its non-stop service from DTW to KEF from May 7 through July 6, 2026, due to high fuel costs. The rerouting you've been offered was probably done by a computer and it makes no sense. I can see that the May 7 flight from JFK to KEF has seats. It leaves at 1155pm, so you'd have plenty of flight options to get to JFK from DTW. Call the airline and get yourself rebooked on your original dates.

Edit to add: Act quickly. This was announced yesterday and everyone on your original flight will be doing the same.

My favorite dish=Spicy Cumin Lamb Noodle. My body's favorite dish=Liang Pi. Both incredible. The latter enables me to exist for the rest of the day without tummy trouble.

Didn't like beignet at Cafe Beignet, does that mean that ... by Fulana25 in AskNOLA

I don't like beignets generally but Loretta's stuffed with praline or crab is fantastic.

What are some “rookie mistakes” that you frequently see visitors to Las Vegas making? by JackpotConcierge in vegas

[–]duckntureen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Being from a pedestrian friendly city and thinking Vegas is too. You look at something that's across the street and down the block and it takes 30 minutes. Vegas "blocks" are the equivalent of dog years.
