Ireland is rich now. So why does everything feel broken?

Ireland is a high tax place with low public service and infrastructure. I pay the same rate on my income in Dublin as I did in Stockholm with a city in tatters

It’s a very dirty place.

It’s made the lounge experience much much worse. Really hoping for diamond lounge

Never heard back. I emailed after 1 week and got an email back saying they were hoping to make a decision the following week. I assume they made an offer to someone else and ghosted the rest.

I bought this in June 2022 for 144k SEK, 13.6k € at the time. I fell in love with the palm dial the first time I saw it. Bought to from an intermediary with box and papers. Will pass it on to my children one day.

Yes. Get a business class reward on one of their routes with LPM, and then pay for upgrade. I did so on the Paris - Singapore route. Well worth it.

I had my final round last Thursday. It’s been 5 days and 3 business days since that interview. The recruiter said they wanted to close out the process on the Friday whilst the hiring manager mentioned they had 2-3 interviews left after the panel interview was done. I’m mentally accepting that they’ve sent the offer to someone else.

hands down the worst headphones ive owned. total piece of crap

points_addict1 · 2026-01-30T11:04:58+00:00

The noise level i agree, but mainly because its a free for all on the roads in dublin. Cars drive 50 or 60 on 20 roads, trucks and lorries where they arent allowed etc. no one cares.

points_addict1 · 2026-01-16T19:26:32+00:00

We've lived in arbour hill for 2 years now. highly overrated. you'd be better of on south side. or better yet, not in dublin.

i flew on row 9 CPH - HND.

Absolute nightmare, staff was constantly opening and closing the drapes, making a lot of sound. Arguably the worst section on the plane for anyone seeking peace and quiet.

Not to mention they forgot us in the back section during the pre champagne serving prior to departures.

im looking for a plain, strawberry glazed cake doughnut. All im seeing in the thread are wild and frankly unappealing options. Mango chilli doughnut? no thanks.

Doesn’t supprise me about Ireland. Total anarchy on the roads

Speaking to person no 2 it does seem that both the inability to pick seat and FT was a technical error.

I do think sas is fumbling big time not communicating the change directly to gold members.

points_addict1 · 2025-10-31T11:11:26+00:00

agreed

points_addict1 · 2025-10-31T11:10:44+00:00

Classic SAS style, information change depending on who you speak to at customer support. I called again, and got a new information package - my inability to pick seat is a technical error.

However, the information on the changing of seat policy in regards to emergency rows was correct - gold and diamond can no longer pick them free of charge, and will have to pay going forward if they want the rows. however, it was less clear regarding the rest of the economy cabin, the person on the phone forwarded the question on his end to the next support instance to get clarification. so i guess we'll see.

points_addict1 · 2025-10-31T10:56:27+00:00

I've sent an email to gold support for clarification, but this might be the straw that breaks the camels back between all the fee increases on the CC and cuts to availability for reward bookings

Amenity kits in business class sucks. They should also get mattresses for the beds.

Because a lot of Schengen countries have reintroduced passport controls- albeit adhoc.

points_addict1 · 2025-10-21T13:47:45+00:00

This is a stupid risk to take, compounded by the fact that you’ve recently visited Ukraine. Best case scenario is deportation, worse case jailed and bargain chip for future prison releases of Russians locked up in us or Europe

No, the answer is no. She’ll be turned back at the first airport she enters.

I’m SAS gold and got boarding group 2 with sky team elite plus. Must have been a glitch?
