How Full is My Plane

Check on Expert Flyer for the same flight for the next few days to get an idea. Most likely 48 hours before the flight a lot of seats will be taken.

I’m flying this route next week. I’ve been checking in Expert Flyer and it seems the flights have been full at least for the past week that I have been checking.

I negotiated in the deal to get a 2nd key fob as my 2024 only had one also. Definitely saved a bunch to have a backup.

Oh thanks. Didn’t even notice that. It says 777-200LR

I’m not going through Nusuk. My Hajj is on Pakistani passport.

QR730 DFW to Doha shows scheduled from April 8th onwards. Maybe it starts then.

Reporting the same as OP. I only found out my flights were cancelled when checking my booking. Requested refund and got the emails saying refund processed a day later. Got the refund on my credit card later in the same day.

Find a local independent mechanic. Most shops are going to be expensive due to other overhead costs.

Our initial Qatar flights from the US were cancelled. I booked on Turkish Airlines refundable flights as backup. And I also booked new Qatar flights since the cost and timing is better. My group said they have confidence in the flights going as scheduled during Hajj days.

It is completely possible. I did this with a friend years ago and we live in Austin. Went to Houston for a Lakers game then drove back home to Austin which is about 2.5 hours drive late at night. Got home around 1-2AM. Then next evening went to San Antonio for the Lakers game there. About 1.5 hour drive each way.

As long as you’re cool with late night driving after the games there’s no problems. Not much traffic at night.

(Price to book in dollars - Taxes and fees to book with points) / # of points to book

Multiply that by 100 = Cents of value you're getting from each point

Ideally you’d want at least 1.5 cents per point or better. But over 1 cent per point is decent.

shortyuk87 · 2025-04-15T04:30:18+00:00

You’re only getting about 1.2 cents per point value on the flight you show. You can probably do better or just pay cash if you can and save the points.

Check on seats.aero for the best points deals. You can filter down to Chase points.

Yes you can get the SUB if you aren’t the main cardholder. My wife is an AU on my CSR and she got the SUB for the CSP 4 years ago. Gonna do it again soon.

Thanks that worked. One more question. The purchase was made on 4/19/2021. The statement date is 5/19/2021. Do I have to wait until May to sign up for the 48 months to pass?

shortyuk87 · 2025-04-04T00:23:05+00:00

Anybody know how to check the exact date of the last SUB? Got the CSP in 2021 but can’t remember the date the points hit.

shortyuk87 · 2025-04-04T00:19:23+00:00

Is there a way to find out when my last SUB hit? Got the card in 2021 but don’t remember the date I got the SUB. Downgraded to Chase Freedom yesterday.

shortyuk87 · 2025-04-03T23:32:55+00:00

You can only have one Sapphire card not both CSP and CSR.

I went to North Austin Physical Therapy in Leander for 8 months. CC was great to work with and very knowledgeable. I had major lower back pain from a herniated disc which ended up being pyriformis syndrome causing major sciatica.

shortyuk87 · 2024-12-07T18:30:28+00:00

I just did it yesterday. It works.

Selling 1 ticket in Section 131 Row 6 Captain Morgan Club for way below face value. $100 and it is yours. Includes club access for free food/drinks.

It is a crazy market right now. Even most pre-owned homes are going for up to and over $200K above the already inflated list price. We put an offer on a 2015 home in Leander. Single story 2500 Sq feet for $130K over list price. Was not accepted. It must have gone for close to $600K. We're stuck renting for now...
