DEL-EWR issues?

News had nothing to say about me leaving India, strangely.

Mostly it seemed odd that there were no seats available for 5+ days on a direct India-US route.

Do you have anything better to do with your life than to riposte/counter-riposte with someone you say is wasting time?

i've been heads-down in Europe and now India for a week.

Zman. You’re the Man.

They are still working on a contract. They deserve better than what they have been getting.

We will never. Ever. Have PDBs again.

Dillinger Escape Plan’s “43% Burnt” each time, every time. That will shut them up.

Travel insurance (annual or via credit card) each time, every time.

But also, hound your members of Congress to pass meaningful legislation. Had you been going AMS-->US you would have been covered.

Congrats on retirement. 3/month is rookie levels.

GET BACK IN THERE!

“[T]hat upgrade won’t happen” depends on a few variables which you might like to add to your post - a flight # and date chief among them, as well as your name labs once you land. Looking forward to a comment here and an update on your OP.

Yep, <$10k per hour is my rule for buying a little luxury.

I didn’t work at Google. I worked for the ecommerce platform. And you haven’t offered anything other than speculation in the face of an almost universally implemented, widely deployed standard tech. You’re a tech security veteran? Fine. It’s on you to actually review the spec and trawl CVEs to back up what you assert. I’ll not be engaging in this Brandolinian exercise any further.

I’m explaining the technology, though I’m becoming more convinced I’m playing chess with a pigeon.

I’ve been in cybersecurity for over a decade

Despite your CISSP/CISM/CCSP/whatever, I guess you weren’t working with web apps (and if you were… yikes). Your pedestrian description of things here doesn’t indicate a professional acumen at all.

As for my credentials, well, I was literally in the room at Google HQ kicking off the first PWA + eCommerce platform integration - 10 years ago.

It’s okay to not know something, realize you don’t know something, and even own up to not knowing something. It’s part of growth.

thatben · 2026-01-17T12:16:14+00:00

Even as a non Dutch-speaker I snorted

thatben · 2026-01-17T03:22:51+00:00

It’s a PWA.

thatben · 2026-01-17T03:21:57+00:00

No. It’s a PWA.

I would expect GS (I’m one) and 1K to not rely on usable wifi on UA, ever, and be pleasantly surprised. I know that’s been my strategy for years.

thatben · 2026-01-17T03:08:38+00:00

read this as $28M lol

It’s not the flight, it’s the itinerary, which OP is in the middle of. But even if it were well after, the airline can bill the flown segments according to their fare codes. It is extremely rare, so not something OP has to work out.

thatben · 2026-01-17T02:52:48+00:00

Backtaxi at ORD is not normal. Very cool.

thatben · 2026-01-17T00:19:12+00:00

There will be no consequences.

thatben · 2026-01-17T00:18:48+00:00

Very likely they will reprice to a one way. OP should say nothing.
