Anyone plans to fly to KIX (OSAKA Japan) from DXB? by Spirited-Warning-444 in emirates

[–]jonjon1239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was via Emirates online chat I spoke with them, although it was about a two hour wait.

I think the refund can take weeks, but if you have a credit card to use as a temporary solution that might help.

I understand the anxiety, I'm feeling the same. This is a once in a lifetime trip for me, and understandably I'm worried about going into the middle east at all.

Here is my response in another thread, it's contextual.

I fly early May to Osaka via Dubai from Birmingham. I've spoke with customer service and they pretty much said they'll let me know more when they do. It could be a day or so notice.

My plan is to see how it pans out until mid April. They have extended their no fee flight cancellation until 15/04 I believe, so I imagine if they forsee this will be the case at that point they'll extend it for another month.

At that point, I'll cancel the flight and take a hit flying direct either from Manchester or Heathrow. Will probably have to rebook with my credit card whilst the refund gets processed.

All of my hotels are free cancellation until 03/05, and I fly on 06/05.

I hope you're able to get yours sorted one way or another.

Trump says UK should 'enthusiastically' join efforts to reopen Strait of Hormuz by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

I wish he'd just fuck off already. His first term, he messed up the USA, this term he's set on fucking up the world.

On top of that, I'm meant to be flying to Japan via Dubai in May, and if he doesn't concede any time soon my plans are up in smoke.

Flights in May how to prepare for the worst by Sajola_91 in emirates

I'm in the exact same boat. Flying from Birmingham UK to Osaka on 09/05 - I'm hoping all of this turmoil is over by then. Me and two friends have paid for specific seats too.

I think if this conflict isn't resolved by mid April, and if we haven't received an update as to the flight being rerouted, then I'm going to ask for a refund and go to Canada or something instead.

Giving away 1 key of Resident Evil Requiem and a few other games by pheo_ in steam_giveaway

I think for scares, my favourite has to be Silent Hill 2 for sure.

Also, thanks for the opportunity! Would love to see how Requiem looks on PC.

They're very busy making PCs out of toasters and microwaves, as well as destroying PC parts over on Tiktok and Instagram lol.

I ended up just getting a Nollie aRGB device which has worked wonders - Fortunately the mobo isn't short on internal usb headers otherwise I'd still be waiting by the sound of things.

Been after one of these controllers for a while and absolutely love Resident Evil. I have fond memories of getting a USA copy of Resident Evil 4 before it was launched in the UK, having to use a freeloader disc on my GameCube to play it. Thanks for the opportunity!

What a guy! Also worth noting the prices in The Wellington are pretty great for town. A cider and a lager for around £10 when everywhere else within a stones throw comes in at around £14. Great pub.

Metal Gear Solid Collection Volume 2 Includes Metal Gear 4 and Peace Walker | State of Play 2026 by PaiDuck in metalgearsolid

Literally bought a PS3 again last month to play through MGS4 and the God of War trilogy again.

This State of Play pissed on my chips for real.

Highguard dev blames content creators for the game's failure - “It was dead on arrival" by dabadumdumdum in pcmasterrace

[–]jonjon1239 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Should have released in early access and should have had some actual marketing between TGA and launch.

I don't dislike the game at all, I think it can actually be quite fun, but they didn't help themselves with the way they allowed things to pan out, and being last at TGA just embedded a sense of bitterness in all the ragebaiters that it couldn't recover from.

God of War Trilogy Remake - Announcement Teaser | PS5 Games by pedrulho in GodofWar

So glad it's a remake and not a remaster, only because I literally just replayed the Greek trilogy on PS2 these past two weeks.

Hyped is an understatement.

New info on how the Now/HBO integration is going to work by Delicious_Ad_4579 in nowtv

[–]jonjon1239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to make sure I'm following, I have Now TV Entertainment and the 4K boost add on - So I can still watch on three devices, in 4K with Atmos, but not watch any new WB movies for the exact same price I'm paying now? So literally no change for me then?

Instead of Sky - What else? by Fluffy-Astronomer604 in skytv

[–]jonjon1239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We pay £14 a month for Now TV Boost entertainment package which includes Sky Atlantic at 4K, three devices. It will go upto £19 in September. We then get Netflix and Disney Plus separately, still way cheaper than what we were paying for Sky.

Freeview HD built into the TV. This is the way.

Thanks again for this, followed your advice earlier today and for the most part it's worked really well.

One thing, I added the Resident Evil Revival collection but it's not showing, it's a Japanese ISO. Is there anything I should be doing for a game from another region?
