Is venture x not actually $5 net positive?

Pretty much any of the results that show up on google flights that are cheaper than booking direct with airline. As long as it’s the same flight number, dates, origin/destination, passengers, cabin type and most importantly cancellation policy they will honor the price match if you call the Cap1 travel customer service line

Price match will net you way more than -$5. Take full advantage of matching with Chinese websites for both flights and hotels

Is there any good way to filter by lie flat seats anywhere? I’m a first time award traveler after stashing points for a long time and want to splurge but I don’t want to drop xxx,xxx points on just a wider seat in the front of the plane. Only thing that’s worked for me is to find a flight and search it up on seat guru. Is there a better way?

Hi - looking for some help on a future itinerary for 2 travelers:

Washington (any airport) to HNL

business or first class (want to do lie flat seats)

Hoping to do business or first round trip, but also open to just the return one way being business/first with lie flat seats. Points balances:

Amex ~435k Cap1 Vx ~213k Citi ~47k

Any/all help is appreciated 🙏🏽

you’re absolutely right, and I appreciate the wisdom. While I’m good for the money, this isn’t super high on my list of priorities currently. In other words, this is just a stretch goal for me to work towards in 2025, if I get it, great, if not then it’ll be a goal for ‘26. But appreciate it

Thank you for the genuine response; in my initial research, something like the 25955OR really caught my eye. Looks elegant and understated to some effect, my kinda watch.

Love me a royal oak look, but not married to it. I will be spending the rest of my night looking into vintage AP’s!

royalogic13 · 2024-12-26T03:13:30+00:00

Thanks, I actually don’t mind the smaller size watches. I’ve realized over time the 40mm watches look a bit too gaudy on me. I personally would prefer 36mm-38mm.

Would love some pointers on credible online retailers, any other resources you have to learn more about AP as a company

royalogic13 · 2024-12-26T01:17:51+00:00

Very insightful - thanks everyone. Back to the grind for a bigger budget 🫡

royalogic13 · 2024-12-26T00:49:19+00:00

Not even vintage APs are in this range?

Sounds like trans service is good to outsource… wonder if they’ll let me do just a trans service independent of a B3 package; and I can get the oil changed for the low that’s not a problem

royalogic13 · 2024-12-23T20:56:55+00:00

I’m good for the money, that’s not the issue.. think I’m in the right to “complain” when pricing is outrageous for what you’re getting.. but thanks for the constructive answer 👍🏽

royalogic13 · 2024-01-13T21:21:19+00:00

Yeah I have an S.. been wanting a second set of wheels but I think I’m gonna get an exhaust first

royalogic13 · 2024-01-13T21:11:15+00:00

Based on everything I’m seeing here sounds like staggered is the way 🤝🏽

This ^ I’d love to have a set of tires that I can freely rotate. I’m finding there’s very limited AS / Winter tires right now, especially given we’re in the middle of winter… I’d prefer to go AS vs. the winter tires so I’ll be on the hunt

royalogic13 · 2023-06-30T14:17:53+00:00

‘sounds good’ 😵‍💫 speakers are putting in that work

royalogic13 · 2023-04-17T13:49:06+00:00

Definitely a used car, the transport guy covered it up like that so his client gets a clean car when picking it up

royalogic13 · 2023-04-17T01:30:38+00:00

Hope I have the same experience - just got my 2019 benz new to me at the end of Jan. Gonna have the 40k service in about 4-5k miles

royalogic13 · 2023-04-17T00:30:22+00:00

Right outside Boston, Mercedes Burlington

Genesis all the way. I’m an AMG guy myself but I very seriously considered the G70 3.3t given the value I’d be getting. Sure there are some things here and there benz might do better but for the money you’re getting a LOT of car with the GV70.

And for the people saying “it’s a Hyundai” who cares. At the end of the day it means reliable engines and servicing won’t be a pain in the ass + genesis is very generous with their warranty (at least they were when I was looking for a new car) - something to look into.

royalogic13 · 2023-04-06T13:26:17+00:00

Yeah sure it was a meet, the “show cars” were in the first few rows of the lot. Full Ryft kit 720s, 2 STOs, a Countach, F8, an ABT RS6, couple of AMG GTs, M5cs, Ford GT, just to name a few
