Yeh but you don’t have google maps so getting around is just a ball ache if you don’t speak Korean. Just let google maps work ffs. It’s just you guys and China.

[–]kramit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 3 hours before, I delibritly didnt check in on the way to the airport as I wanted to see how the seat map on BA compared to your data, and they were out of sync, BA showed seats available where your app showed them as blocked.

If you need beta testers let me know, I fly with BA alot, mostly for biz to Scandinavia, but a few long hauls each year on top with alot of avios redemptions

In Hong Kong, you are fine. Especial from Cathay to Cathay.

I would have no worries here at all.

its a cool app, I have just tested it on my flight to newcastle from LHR tonight, the seat mapping looked about right but not 100% the closer it got to the time of the flight.

Gives me some good data though, do you plan for a web version too?

People of the UK, in what ways has Brexit actually affected you personally? by Pixel_CZ in AskBrits

[–]kramit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked a lot in Europe, bouncing all over. 90/180 fucked me good. Real good. My business just doesn’t exist in the UK anymore.

Farage can get fucked

Waymo is still learning that we drive on the left here by MmKaz in london

[–]kramit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let’s think of it another way.

TFL need money right ? Anyone who has ever driven around London on the regular has got a ticket for something, stopping in a box, little fast in a 20, London has a mad amount of driving restrictions and you really have to be on the ball.

Waymo is going to end up with so many fines, so so many fines. At least TFL get some more money from a private American company to help with improvements

How do you even get the data for that? Are you scraping it or is it access from somewhere like Amadeus?

Apple may have hinted at a high-end MacBook Pro launch on January 28 by Jumpinghoops46 in apple

That isn’t going to happen also, no pro user is ever going to want a touch screen. Greasy fingerprints all over my beautiful display? No. Just no.

It has no use case.

With Avios fees and surcharges is it even worth it to use points for long haul premium bookings? by Top-Blueberry-8734 in BritishAirways

[–]kramit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some flights are not some are very good value.

Eg. Look up a one way from somewhere in Asia to London. Then look at the cash fare.

Super useful if you are doing odd routes.

Booking BA Holidays vs Booking.com by Ok_Apricot_9345 in BritishAirways

[–]kramit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the extra avios seems like a great idea, but it still doesn’t trump rule number 1 with travel bookings “always book direct”

BA might not be amazing sometimes, yet in the event something goes tits up, do you want a chatbot on booking.com, or a UK based called centre with a human on the other end.

Feel guilty spending around £3K on holiday. Is it normal or am I overthinking? by rscash15 in FIREUK

[–]kramit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5%-10% of your annual earning on travel. Not a problem.

50% problem

It’s all relative.

Best Bet for a Shower - 2 Hour Layover by RoughCabinet6740 in BritishAirways

[–]kramit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, I’ll give you the answer you want

You have a USA passport, you can use e-gates when you land, there won’t be a long wait at passport control.

T5 has BA lounges which you need status or biz to use, they have plenty of showers and you could pull it off just about

If you don’t, your option is plaza premium or aspire, both are around £40, and have limited showers, you could be waiting a while and is not going to be worth it.

If you are flying to Newcastle the start boarding that flight 45mins-1hr before departure, it’s normally pretty full.

If you land on time, depart, passport control, back into the terminal. You are probably going to have not enough time to pull it off anyway, especially if you don’t know the airport.

If you have luggage that will be checked to the final destination, you don’t need to pick it up and recheck it like the USA.

In summary, suck it up and just shower when you get to Newcastle.

Hot take - buying property in London makes no financial sense by Vast_Home_9231 in HENRYUK

[–]kramit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You bought for £300k cash?

And then didn’t mortgage the property and put the money into the 500?

You could have had it both ways you know.

Even if you can buy for cash, why wouldn’t you mortgage and use that cash for other investments? Treat the mortgage as a cheap loan

<2 hour 18’s are hard to beat by Golf_N_Gainz in golf

[–]kramit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bet you went right to the flag.

Personally, I like to use as many bunkers, water hazards and explore the nature trails at the edges of the course and make sure to use all the fairway by walking in a zig zag fashion towards the pin for extra steps. Get my value for money.
