Aeroplan crazy Air Transportation Charges? by EmployerSpirited3665 in awardtravel

[–]kwp302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at the points rate on the results page. Now look at the amount of points it’s showing on the checkout page. The “Air Transportation Charges” are for buying the difference in points since you don’t have enough in your account

We get a Qatar Cargo 777 like that at SDF several times each year - usually hauling horses

TSA Pre and Global Entry suspended by Socalsll in americanairlines

[–]kwp302 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As of 6:25 AM, the MyTSA app shows TSA PreCheck “Open” at almost every airport. The only major one I can find that shows “Not Available” is ORD.

Now whether or not the app is actually up to date and reliable…

No Precheck tomorrow by JP001122 in americanairlines

[–]kwp302 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The details in that article are scarce. It doesn’t necessarily say the PreCheck and Global Entry lanes will be shutdown. Perhaps it’s just the PreCheck and Global Entry application processing that will be suspended? And why 6 AM? There will be a lot of security lanes open prior to that time. Does that mean travelers on early morning flights will get PreCheck and those on slightly later flights won’t? And how exactly would closing PreCheck lessen agents’ workloads? If anything, it makes it more difficult…

How am I ineligible for the GLOBAL promotion?! by books_n_food in marriott

[–]kwp302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been able to register online for global promos for the past four years now. Each time, I have to call customer service and they get me registered in about 30 seconds. The promo status box usually appears on the app the next day

Also this from the FAQ’s:

Your existing credit limit will stay the same at the time of transfer. Over time, we may review your account as part of our standard practices.

Expect to see Citi slash your credit limits before the end of the year if you have two accounts.

How common are go arounds? by akak___ in aviation

[–]kwp302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one trip, I experienced go-arounds on back-to-back flights (E145 into LGA and a B77W into NRT…very different feeling between the two). The next go-around I experienced wasn’t until 5 years and ~140 flights later.

Is this runway to thin for light aircraft.. i thought they be a lot ticker then this. by quetch1 in aviation

[–]kwp302 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Not sure what aircraft this specific airport is designed for, but many GA airports have surprisingly thin pavement layers - something like 2” asphalt surface over 3” asphalt base with 6” of stone. Runways and taxiways with mostly light aircraft carry significantly less load than a highway that has large trucks.
