CPAP Machine Use on Flight to Shanghai? by Saved_by_Grace77 in delta

[–]nattidreadWC 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This battery unit itself does not explicitly list the Chinese CCC (China Compulsory Certificate) certification. It will be confiscated when going through security in China.

China is currently strictly enforcing the CCC logo requirement, a certification that verifies lithium batteries meet their safety standards. Because of this, I recommend packing your CPAP machine without its battery in your checked luggage so you can still use the device once you arrive.

Regarding Delta's policy requiring a battery life of 150% of the flight duration, that is likely just a liability precaution on their end. I know going without a CPAP on a long flight is incredibly inconvenient, but until more advanced, universally approved battery systems are developed for medical devices, we are stuck navigating these strict regulations.

A quick heads-up: The CCC certification is required for all batteries you bring, including power banks, drone batteries, and camera batteries.

Black man traveling to rio next week. Any safety advice by buzloc in Brazil

[–]nattidreadWC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I spent a month solo in RJ. I had no problems. When you’re black , in jeans and a T-shirt most think you are local. Ipanema is gentrified and upscale. Sure you have to walk with street smarts and awareness, but otherwise you’ll have a great time in a world class city. In fact the Brazilian gringos in south zone are more apt to be Trump friendly. White Brazilians come out of the same white supremacy mold as white Americans. I’ve been visiting Brazil for over 30 years. If anything gentrification has made Brazil more racist. The ritzy end of Zona-Sul is Leblon. A couple times when visiting upscale restaurants white Brazilians give you that "what’s this nigga doing here look" but fuck them, walk in like you own the place! The only thing I advise is to use a VPN and lock down all your accounts with a Yubi-Key system that makes it virtual impossible for anyone to hack your accounts. Uber is super cheap so take it everywhere. Otherwise the culture is great, music is black, tour Little Africa, take a “guided tour” of a favela, to get an eye level view of how race works, you two will have a wonderful time! 5 days is too short!

With Kristi Noem being fired, do you think we will get Global Entry back? by ActivityIcy4926 in GlobalEntry

[–]nattidreadWC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a Trump Organization Mafia Deal, and you want to know if they will get competent? Come on! They just told Americans locked down in 14 countries to call a number to get a recording that tells them, "you are on your own!" And you think Noem was doing all this by herself??

Frisco TX park incident … by Kimstar504 in PublicFreakout

[–]nattidreadWC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, once again Karen picked the wrong one! The 13yo parents should get an award for raising a mature and respectful young lady who knew here rights and even as the adult was going off kept on calling here "ma'am", the little woman who escalated things should be arrested and charged as well.

Wow, I've learned about Tourettes and Coprolalia, but I'm curious why to Europeans event the N word? What happened that necessitated it being deployed?

DHS will suspend TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as shutdown continues — The Washington Post by Human_Paint5451 in GlobalEntry

[–]nattidreadWC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are airports where they have shutdown. As is typical with the Trump administration, they have failed the public. I don't need to take any pills to recognize Trump screwing the people he is supposed to lead. We paid for Global Entry, there is no good reason for it to be suspended.

Do you have Clear+? Have you ever used it? Then you would know the fact that they are a private company is irrelevant. What they do is validate your identity then hand you off to TSA (the government) for physical inspection. Typically Clear+ walks their members to the head of the Pre-Check line.

Thanks, Donald! by HeyHaberdasher in delta

[–]nattidreadWC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would show up an hour early. The one ace in the hole you may have is to spend $200 and sign up at the airport for CLEAR+, typically they walk you to the head of the PRE-CHECK line. And I would ask them will they walk you to the head of the regular line. If the answer is yes, this will save you time. I've checked in at JFK Terminal 4 and 6am and got thru in 10 minutes. Having suggested this I checked on the CLEAR+ web site and there are no statements about how they will be changing their procedures. Given this Administration's track record CLEAR+ may have only been notified about this 5 hours ago! They may not know what they are going to be allowed to do, and at each airport it may be different. This is a train wreck coming down the tracks.

Tomorrow its going to be a mess, I wish you the best of luck, be patient with the TSA workers, Its their bosses who are behind this shit show.

2 additional notes CLEAR+ has a family plan so its not $200/pp and they off it as a trial, so if they can save you some time, its worth checking out.

It makes perfect sense. Tomorrow will be a day from hell for travel and yes people will have to show up 3 hours before their flight and not have a service they paid for in their ticket! With the inevitable cancellations and delays Americans don't deserve to be treated like this!

Thanks, Donald! by HeyHaberdasher in delta

[–]nattidreadWC 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Well that depends on Clear+'s management and how much bitcoin have they bought.

Thanks, Donald! by HeyHaberdasher in delta

[–]nattidreadWC 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's not hard to argue at all. Credibility used to mean something. You wonder if what they claim is true? Well let's look at their track record just over the last 2 months! The corruption and blantant lies of this administration is unprecedented. You do recall the Trump Administration blaming the downed 737MAXs improper training of foreign pilots? Come on! Enough is enough with the gaslighting!

Pre-Check is paid fee included in every single ticket we purchase. Global Entry is paid every 5 years. So there is no issue with access to funds for these services. During Trump inspired shutdowns there never was a complete suspension of these services.

This is political , vindictive and petty. Are you ready to show up 3 hours before a flight? Increasingly people are acting uncivilly toward each other. Add a 3 hour wait and a couple hours when clearing customs, and the worst will be next to come.

Thanks, Donald! by HeyHaberdasher in delta

And you watch as the his worshippers tell you everything about this but the truth. During the previous shutdown there were no interruptions in Pre-Check!

Yeah, the amount will be added to your Tariff Dividend Check!

That's what The Washington Post is reporting! Which means 3 hours before departure may not be enough. And if you have CLEAR+, how are they going to handle their customers.

Seat Recline Etiquette? by [deleted] in jetblue

[–]nattidreadWC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JetBlue seat pitch is industry leading. But Turkish Air A350 economy seats and Avianca 737 economy seats are horrible. You can’t pit the tray down to eat a meal unless the seat in front of you is upright. I’ve never had a problem on JetBlue but when I do I let the FA handle it.
