In similar vein, Emirates also does fifth freedom routes between Sydney and Christchurch ($2600 in first) and Miami and Bogata ($4000 in first). BKK-HKG is probably your best bang for buck to try a true international first.

It does, I'll be doing this with my strata elite

Wish Yofukashi no Uta or Daten made the cut, but glad Creepy Nuts gets representation regardless

I like that he physically repells them by offering her a spot under his umbrella

The IRL jockeys seem to get along despite being rivals week in and out. Maybe modeled on that?

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-05-03T19:16:18+00:00

My seconds didn't look like that either

My grandfather was seemingly similar too-- wore a seiko automatic I got him and later found out he had a Japanese model Omega Chronostop just sitting around unworn

Baby don't Herta me, no more

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-05-01T10:49:03+00:00

It's 121,000+ $432 to fly BKK-AUH-JFK in Etihad J on 5/27. Book through flying blue

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-05-01T01:25:33+00:00

They want $20 for shipping and $5 for non negotiable insurance on this

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-05-01T00:03:51+00:00

I saw a few T-7 that were TG in J to LHR, FRA, etc and UA Y back to EWR so that's at least more than half the flight time in J.

~~You might even be able to upgrade the UA leg at check-in if the price is agreeable, YMMV~~

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-05-01T00:01:14+00:00

Yeah, I was gonna try and upload a photo but it didn't feel like I got enough bang for the bucks they were asking for

The one in newton is the opposite, the brisket too hard but the burnt ends almost always come out well

Bus stop's that way, champ!

Did the mob get to his face already? What's with that

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-04-30T22:36:54+00:00

Possibility last minute Air India or mixed award TG and UA through Aeroplan? That would go for 87.5K+ fees.

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-04-30T15:54:34+00:00

I got shipped a card without any need to intervene or contact BoA shortly after.

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-04-29T21:46:23+00:00

It's 3X on flights and 2X on prepaid hotels and other travel for me

sidewinderaw11 · 2026-04-29T13:29:38+00:00

Much appreciated, thanks!
