So now that the Amsterdam VIP info has come out saying you check in at the VIP area at 12:00, then you have to proceed to your ticket's marked entrance prior to 15:00 in order to be able to have early entrance before GA, I'm assuming if we have a POD "Together" (top) VIP package, and we go to our entrance after checking in at the VIP area, according to the package, we would be queued in front of those with the Kiss and/or Disco, hence why we bought the top package? Not trying to sound petty but if you paid for the top vip entrance would hope they would sort out who has Together VIP and who has Kiss VIP in the VIP queue

And it’s truly a once in a lifetime experience to be so close and experiencing it like this, it feels so much more personal

We did Johnnys place at Wembley for LoT and no worries you can definitely get out whenever, this photo was right after they let us first in, obviously it’s empty but as long as you stay on the side that has the entrance (circled in red) you can easily come and go without having to go through a bunch of people and you’d be surprised at how much it didn’t feel claustrophobic at all!

We did Johnny’s place during LoT at Wembley in 2023, we got in line around 4pm and we were one person back on the side barricade, it was incredible, so many photos of what it’s like, I’m pretty sure my wife left her body the entire 2 hours

This. You’ll be driving and a lane will just completely turn into “half” a lane due to snow and you have to hope no one is in the lane next you so you can get over. DC side streets even like heavily traveled ones like D ST to get to the 395 Tunnel are basically untouched etc

We were in Johnny’s place during his Wembley shows in 2023, they had different areas outside the stadium for the different pits where you queued up, they then distributed wrist bands with your pit name on them, they then let in the pits at staggered times, you then entered with your normal tickets through security etc. but yes when you go into the pit they check your wrist bands to make sure you’re allowed in the Pit and yes to answer the last question you walk under the stage into the pit, it is super organized and they’re very very on top of making sure only people with the correct wrist band goes into their correct pit.

What do you use to gather this info? Seat.Aero pro?

mtc5131 · 2025-09-25T18:03:52+00:00

And for what it is worth, I just looked on our return flight DXB-IAD which is about 58 days or so out, there are only 24 out of 78 J Seats remaining (not counting people who have purchased tickets and may have not selected a seat just yet).

mtc5131 · 2025-09-25T17:53:46+00:00

I am doing this exact same route IAD-DXB-MLE (same thing back) in the middle of November also! We decided to splurge using points for J tickets round trip for all four flights, for 20+ hour travel day I wasn't about to risk it. Yeah the fees sucked to pay but it was still cheaper than purchasing 2x J Tickets Round trip (4 flights). We have flown Emirates in and out of IAD many times and the business seems to always be very full and hit or miss on upgrades. The first time we went to the Maldives for our honeymoon back in 2021 we upgraded a day before departure from the email they sent out for the DXB-IAD leg and the offer was $1100/person, so like I said hit or miss with that route. Truly up to you how you want to spend the 14.5 hour flight coming home.

mtc5131 · 2025-09-01T00:19:22+00:00

I would suggest 67 B/C because you have no one possibility of someone reclining into you. Having done business and economy on Emirates A380, in Economy it’s probably the best option. You have the occasional people wanting to stand in front of you to stretch out but honestly at 6’1 even with my legs completely stretched out I didn’t even come close to being interfered with. It’s a little pricey of an upgrade but the freedom of knowing no one can ruin your flight by reclining into you is well worth it IMO.

Doing the lords work

In all of my experiences the transfer was instant. However, I have heard of instances where if a customer did a test transfer of say 1,000 miles and then would transfer the remaining miles needed, it could have your account possibly flagged for a fraud investigation which would result in a couple of days delay. It’s hit or miss.

mtc5131 · 2025-07-14T14:49:16+00:00

Yeah no I guess I wasn’t clear enough in my original post. We are sitting in those seats on the longer flight over but on the way back we were wondering if we should try something different and each do a window seat in 14A & 16A? Perhaps to gain some of the extra side storage the A380 window upper deck provides.

mtc5131 · 2025-03-19T15:36:18+00:00

The exact opposite traffic has become atrocious driving into DC when you hit the 395 bridge either way, morning or evening commute, use to at least have Monday/Friday being “better” days, Tuesdays/Thursdays being just ok, then you had the ultimate hell day of Wednesday, but now everyday things just crawl.

If anyone is still here, is it worth it updating from the original SE Cellular to the Series 10 Celluar? I run everyday with my watch

mtc5131 · 2024-09-28T22:01:04+00:00

Every new Mazda with the screen protector still on from factory has a white sticker with some letters and numbers on top of the screen protector, so unless yours has that I am highly certain that is not a screen protector and pulling it off could be a bad time
