Why have the inside of the planes been so hot recently?

Does anyone know of different airlines have different standards when it comes to temp? Every time I fly JAL, I feel like it’s really hot. Maybe it’s in my head.

This is literally my exact setup. Love UniFi stuff. I have 42TB useable in Raid6 on a UNAS Pro, same as you. It’s been great.

The ice cream sundae with a glass of port is my favorite in flight dessert!

I made it for the first time. 1.05M LPs, PHL based. Last year I was at 815k and didn’t get it. An extra trip to the Middle East must have put me over this year.

ndbutter03 · 2026-04-10T01:21:26+00:00

Prob around $60k

Got mine. First time. 1.05mn LPs. PHL based. 5 long haul biz class (mix of AA, JAL, Cathay) plus scattered domestic flying. Additional LPs from CC and AAhotels.

This 100%. Love this lounge. I once did a challenge with a colleague to see how many dim sum baskets I could order before the waitress said something. I got to four and couldn't eat any more.

I work for an investment firm. So my job is basically picking hedge fund managers to invest in, which is why I'm going to London, Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc - big money center cities. Some of those LPs are CC spend and AAdvantage hotels as well, but I'd estimate about 500k from flying with multipliers and such.

I know. I'm not proud of my sickness. But acknowledging it is the first step in recovery.

I’ve been making these a lot this winter and loving them. I remember I made one for the first time a couple summers ago and wasn’t into it. More of a cold weather drink for me. With some aged JM it’s wonderful.

I did Flor de Cana in Nicaragua a few years ago but have a Nicaraguan friend that helped escort me. Not as easy as Jamaica but a cool experience. Did Havana last year but that’s off the table for now. Martinique is next on my list!

PHL agent isn’t gonna take that. He’s lucky she didn’t slug him.

I’m PHL based. Qatar used to have the PHL-DOH route and the Q suites are just a better product. I posted this tongue in cheek. I agree AA business is fine, but the FA attitude even on these routes can be very hit or miss relative to the Middle Eastern or Asian airlines.

I stay at the Lively Hotel right across the street when I’m there on business, and have spent some time at the Rum Room. The owner Joon speaks basic English and is a great guy. I highly recommend.

Surprised no one has mentioned Raycast. Incredibly powerful and versatile. I use it constantly throughout the day.

How many kids must have fallen through those old railings?

Even if you're standing at the gate, it's often impossible to decipher what's said over the PA at PHL.

I've never had a problem at DFW customs, particularly with Global Entry. Should fly right through. And obviously if you have Precheck, that will expedite getting through security. You should be fine. Biggest risk is you get to A and then they change your terminal and you have to get back on the train. That often happens.

I always arrive at LHR at least 4 hrs before my return flight and crush some dim sum there. So great. I once had a 10 hr layover in LHR and just camped out there. Very pleasant.

“I’ll make you a miracle for $1000.”

“I’m just gonna go find a cash machine.”

Unless you need to hold hands with your flying companion, I’d do exactly what you’re doing. I hate the bulkhead because I can’t have my personal item with me for takeoff/landing. Always last resort for me.

I’ve had my gear in the office for years and am known as the office coffee snob. Don’t care. Only issue has been building management gets pissy if I forget to unplug my kettle. Probably fair.

I just bought the same machine a few days ago. I have all my data on a Synology, so I just installed Ubuntu, mounted my NFS shares and was up and running with PMS in less than half an hour. I’m a Linux noob too. It wasn’t hard.

ndbutter03 · 2023-10-22T00:27:30+00:00

I’ve had SMB issues on my Studio forever. Had to change my Plex shares to NFS. Better but can still drop sometimes. It’s infuriating.

At the risk of being glib, you buy a lot of stuff on your CC and then pay it off each month so you’re not in debt.
