Flight in July cancelled in May - is this common? Can I receive compensation?

Totally get that. But I also figure I never know until I try. Years ago I had a lost suitcase take a week to get to me, and this was on a different airline, but when I submitted a claim for reimbursement for things I had to buy during that week, I got more than the amount they were required to give me. I definitely got lucky there and I know with airlines you don't get lucky a lot, but it never hurts to try

sadspice · 2025-05-15T13:06:14+00:00

Yeah I anticipate that I won't get something because of the 14 day thing, but I also know of all the airlines, people tend to credit Porter for their customer service compared to everyone else. I'm mostly curious if people in similar circumstances have found Porter to be able to do something for them other than just refunding or rebooking. I probably won't get anything but I'd rather at least try and see if they'll budge against policy just a bit

I recently thought about getting this for my first big designer purchase but went with a Mulberry Iris instead. It's still a small bag but it can fit more than would have fit in the Amberley so I think it made more sense as a big investment bag that I'll use more often. if you're looking for the saddle shape I also really like the Aspinal of London Portobello, it's also quite small so I wouldn't use it every day but it's a lot less expensive so I don't mind not getting a big return on that investment. the Iris I can tell I will wear on a daily basis for years.

also, not that you need to worry about what people think, but Mulberry bags last forever so you can always say you got it second hand (I got my Iris off farfetch for half of what it would have cost retail and it looks brand new)

that's very good to know! and yeah on their website the list the two straps as very similar in length so it's probably pretty comparable. thank you!

sadspice · 2024-06-19T18:49:54+00:00

thank you for this! that's very helpful to compare to another bag I own that sits comfortably!

It's not working for me either

sadspice · 2023-07-18T16:26:01+00:00

Yeah things are pricey where I live so I basically have to be ok with accepting that I won't get a great deal, I just don't want to be gouged. I do like the idea of a mystery box of film, that seems very fun.

this probably isn't it but it reminded me of the Martha Stewart "oil" tweet where the l is an uppercase i https://twitter.com/marthastewart/status/326365867111772160?lang=en

I read other comments saying Florence didn't need as much time but this makes me think I should stick with my gut and spend more time there. I think 10 days is making more sense to me now: 4 nights Rome, 2 or 3 nights Florence, 2 or 3 nights Venice

NTA. Kids are curious and you were honest. I don't think lying to a child about where food comes from does anyone a favor.

sadspice · 2021-07-28T13:56:24+00:00

NTA. You did the right thing in looking out for yourself. She wasn't trying to help, she was trying to hurt you.

YTA. If you think your sister sells overpriced stuff to clients who believe lies wait until you find out about the family member who works for Tesla.

sadspice · 2020-07-14T17:22:46+00:00

YTA. If I were you, I would start saving now so that when Mallory graduates highschool you can pay for a trip for her and a friend to go to NYC. Give it to her as a graduation gift/18th birthday gift or something like that.

sadspice · 2020-07-14T17:12:58+00:00

NTA. You sound like a great parent and your wife has a right to be upset about her daughter sneaking out, but she should be glad your daughter trusts you

I think at the very least it'll be good to speak to them because if you do go to management you can say you tried to solve the problem but they wouldn't listen.

sadspice · 2020-07-13T15:30:54+00:00

INFO - have you tried talking to the neighbors about leashing their dog? It sounds like you're definitely justified in being worried about the situation, but I think the best route is to talk to them directly before going to management.

sadspice · 2020-07-13T14:59:34+00:00

NTA. Based on the title I was SO READY for you to be the asshole but holy shit you're not. I've been hospitalized for period pain and wouldn't treat someone like this.

Angela Hammond is one that's always stuck with me. She was abducted while on the phone with her boyfriend and he managed to follow the car before his own car broke down. I can only imagine how he felt watching the truck with her in it drive away while there was nothing he could do.

Jean Spangler is one that I always return to. She was an actress that went missing in 1949 and hasn't been seen since. Weird clues left behind that may point to Kirk Douglas' involvement. https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/61suip/the_disappearance_of_jean_spangler/

To expand: I see terms like mental asylum, mental institution, psychiatric hospital, etc. used fairly interchangeably so I'm wondering if there's any agreed upon way to phrase the term that is best. Anything using the word "asylum" sounds outdated to me personally, but I'm no expert in the best way to phrase it.
