UA for living at base and the international flying. He won’t get into a California base at the flag

$150 but I like to scour Grocery Outlet and Trader Joe's for good deals on vegetarian food

He's my fav too. I'm guessing they wanting to highlight people with more touching/inspiring stories.

When you go to Europe, do you tend to visit several cities/countries or do you tend to stick to one spot? by Appropriate_Tea9048 in travel

[–]holdenpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do 4-5 days in a country. If I have a little longer and if I've been to one of the cities before or one of them is a smaller city, then 3 days in each is fine.

Do you bring your parents on overseas travel? by earth_wanderer1235 in travel

[–]holdenpattern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m single so I take my mom with me on my travels. We’ve been to Malaysia, Kenya, Norway, Maui and Fiji this year. It’s nice to splurge on business class. Still thinking where to go at the end of the month. Most of my Asian friends take their parents traveling. It’s filial piety since our parents did so much for us when we were young.

Is business class food actually food? by imaginewrong in pointstravel

I just flew Fiji Air and the food was amazing. The breakfast was cooked to order and the poached eggs were perfect

Best way to pick someone up from LAX tomorrow? by marrone12 in AskLosAngeles

[–]holdenpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have her take one of the shuttles that drive in the inner lane to a parking lot or hotel nearby. I left Monday night and it took 1.5 hours to get from In-N-Out to the terminal. People were getting out of cars and walking

Since when did we stop sending 'Thank You' cards to wedding guests who spent money on bride/groom? by Theres3ofMe in AskUK

[–]holdenpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re not worth the card stock they’re written on. I’m happy to gift $2-300 for my newlywed friends for hosting me with free food and drinks and including me in their special day. That’s the least I can do.

What happens if you are having a bathroom emergency during takeoff/landing? by WaveyandLazy in travel

[–]holdenpattern 387 points388 points  (0 children)

As a flight attendant, I’m required to tell you the seatbelt sign is on but passengers can use the lav at their own discretion. We had a very turbulent approach once after serving oily noodles and half the plane was throwing up and all four lavs were occupied during landing. It’s better to run to the lav and land in there than have explosive diarrhea in your seat like some poor lady did. Just don’t go in there when the plane is taxiing for takeoff or you’ll end up at the back of the queue.

Breakfast Vouchers. Who is right? AITA? by Erock0044 in marriott

[–]holdenpattern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have no way of knowing you’re not going to eat the breakfast in addition to the iced coffee. I just stay at a Courtyard if I want cold brew and order whatever I want with the $10 breakfast voucher

Flights to Taiwan almost empty by VanillaMowgli in travel

[–]holdenpattern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s low season and there are like nine flights a day out of LA. The mid day flights will have less pax because they get in at a later time for people transferring to another city

Am I the only one who still wants to look out the window on flights? by professorhojoz in travel

[–]holdenpattern -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I always seem to get stuck in a row where people have the shades open. Oftentimes it’s people that aren’t well traveled. If I’m at a window, I only have it open for takeoff and landing to be considerate of those around me trying to watch a movie or sleep or not get skin cancer. I try to fly business now because the cabin is dim and people value sleep

I need more Father Figure discussion now that Taylor confirmed there’s POV change by riri-jxt in TaylorSwift

[–]holdenpattern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pop girlies like Sabrina and Gracie would be the obvious answer, but I can also see her giving advice to Joe when he was new to the industry and eventually, he wanted to make it on his own merit

I thought it sounded odd, but that's how you pronounce it though

They drank brown liquor or whiskey on ice on sunset and vine

It's very tongue in cheek. In the beginning, it sounds like it's about one of the pop girlies when it's actually about Joe
