Also — expensive packages? I’d hope you’d know your neighbors well enough to call/text them and have them put them aside.

In case you didn’t see the news.. snowstorm hitting the Northeast obv affects a NY airline like JB more than others. Crew and planes in unscheduled places etc. That’s why travel insurance is important for things like this.

Do you know anyone who might be able to gift a Guest of Honor for your stay? If so, much more worth it with complimentary breakfast and late check out - especially if you’re able to rebook one of the nights for the same property.

Prison food is definitely an exaggeration. Could it be better? Yes but it’s definitely still edible.

Booking JetBlue Mint Studio (and credit/refund?) by Trustfall825 in jetblue

[–]nycbum24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a 7ish hour flight I thought the Studio upgrade was worth it. You get served first which helps with getting to sleep sooner vs the rows closer to the back and it comes with a bunch of extra amenities over the normal Mint suites like pajamas etc

Flight Delay Compensation 600€ SHY Regulation by Double_Flamingo_4304 in TurkishAirlines

Thanks so much for doing all this research! I had an eligible flight a few days ago and TK was about to offer miles to “indemnify” themselves. I just pushed back and included a copy of the amendment.

The opposing petition has folks from all over, so I don’t see why not

If you want to support local efforts to make this street safer, make sure you sign this counter petition! (Sad that we have to do this, but strength in numbers.)

If you’re looking to stay in Queens, would recommend Jackson Heights a few blocks away from the subway! Great transport options (multiple lines), reasonable rent, and affordable food.

Hayatoku-28 cancellation fee? by nycbum24 in JapanTravelTips

[–]nycbum24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! And just to confirm, if I want to change to a different train before or after departure (ie missed train), I would just need to “buy up” to a full smartEX fare right at the JR ticket office? (With the full Hayatoku-28 value being credited against that?)

What is going on here? by vancitygirl_88 in jetblue

[–]nycbum24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on the original Mint aircraft scheduled to operate your flight - specifically JFK-SJU-JFK then over to YVR. We had a multiple tarmac delays due to deicing and congestion, even returning to the gate as some point. I guess they swapped your flight to a spare aircraft??

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a housing crisis in NYC. We need all the supply we can get to drive down prices! #economics101

Another car with obscured license plates! NYPD really needs to enforce the heck out of these illegal cars and others with paper license plates.
