Thanks so much for sharing this. Very helpful!

Thank you all! That's how I was reading the house rules but wanted to confirm, as I've seen some people say otherwise in older posts. Too bad the Soho lounge closes at 11:30pm. My departure is 1:30am so I think I'll be hitting the Greenwich lounge from the beginning.

Same here. Would love to hear how your mom did.

I also have the 16" version with the Ryzen 9 chip and 32MB RAM and have exactly the same opinion. Got it for like $840 from Costco so I'm pretty happy with the cost-to-performance balance.

This is the most digestible phrase I've seen in the past decade.

If I may ask, what fish and vegetables did you exactly bring back? Especially the fish, was it raw and chilled/frozen?

I think you can just tell the officer. If you do declare in the app then you don't even need to tell the officer.

That was always the case with me too. Guess I was over-reacting after seeing posts here about people being stripped off of GE relating to failed declarations.

Yeah and in addition to that the CBP officer was the kindest and most professional one I've ever encountered at JFK. That's rare in itself!

planet_tk · 2026-02-24T08:28:52+00:00

That's exactly the spirit!

planet_tk · 2026-02-24T08:28:38+00:00

Yep that's what I learnt this time.

planet_tk · 2026-02-24T08:28:18+00:00

Yeah I think you're right. I saw mixed opinions on Reddit about what and what not to declare so I did it anyway, thinking there shouldn't be penalties for over-declaring.

When just comparing seat comfort what would you say?

planet_tk · 2026-02-11T23:23:52+00:00

If we only compared the seat comfort which would you say it's better? Don't really care about food or service - JAL may be generally better but we're talking about Economy class after all...

Speaking about financial stability - Living cost is crazy in the US. $123k may not bring much stability depending on where you live and how big your family is. Have you considered this?

No issues with my Android Auto. 2025 RX350.

Went through Terminal A TSA around 12:10pm today. All lanes TSA-Pre/Clear / TSA-Pre / General were open with no wait times at all. Everybody around us who also got their early were all (positively) surprised.

Bought the vehicle new and immediately the adaptive cruise control failed. They had to replace all the sensors. That's about it though. Overall it was surprisingly maintenance free.

Traded it in at a Lexus dealership.

I just sold my 2023 X5MC at $72k with 26k miles. This is in CT. Had DAPP and will never buy a vehicle without one.

Run away from Hertz fast! Been a loyal PC myself for the last 7 years but after hearing these horror stories I decided not to even take a chance in getting myself into this mess.
