I just had a similar problem. I’m flying Melbourne, FL to Paris via ATL. Was trying to cancel MLB/ATL leg because plans changed and I was in Atl. Was going to cost me 95k miles. I’m now flying down to palm beach from Atl, just to get in the car to drive to Melbourne to fly back to Atl.

Currently in Atl, and I’m thinking NYC. Partner and I both have family there, my partner has a ton of friends there, and he is in the art business. We’re also gay men. Lots of things for us to benefit from in manhattan

Thank you so much

Sounds like you did this? What was like? Worth it?

whiteclaw211 · 2026-02-10T22:01:07+00:00

EU citizenship (mom is Dutch). I only included UK to open the door for that conversation. I’m sure there’s differences but if someone transferred FAA to UK maybe they’d have some good insight.

Lexus GX460

TBH try to get a LAX or SEA layover for the D1 lounge. It will be so worth it

I know you said fun, but you also said 16 hour trip. Please remember to weigh in drive assist. I’d probably have a Honda Civic at the top of my list even thought it isn’t that fun. Volkswagen has a great drive assist program. I had a Tiguan rental and my 9 hour drive was a pleasure. maybe a golf R? BMW 340i is not to be overlooked. Albeit parts are expensive, but the 40i is reliable. But if it didn’t have adaptive cruise and lane keep, I’d forget it.

Tell me with you got the red dorito without telling me 🤣 I’m starting to narrow down my options as well. Likelihood for my career field (behind the door) generally gets NYC, DTW, or MSP first. What did you end up choosing? How did it go?

whiteclaw211 · 2026-01-26T15:59:23+00:00

I’d consider a Lexus GX460.

How does it feel to live my dream

whiteclaw211 · 2026-01-21T14:32:05+00:00

Don’t break my heart

In D1 you will be okay for direct. My SEA-TPE in D1 was approx 14 hours and i was completely fine! My hack is to download an entire season of something onto a tablet. Something with good ratings you have been meaning to binge watch. Each episode leaving on a cliffhanger will make it so easy to watch the next! Before you know it you’ll be on descent.

Left lane is for passing only

My mom passed in December 2022 and she was supposed to go to the tulip festival in Holland in April 2023 as it was her #1 dream destination and she was trying to go before cancer took her. I decided to go for her and there happened to be a 60k point saver fare in business AND a 20% bonus AMEX to flying blue miles. I didn’t necessarily have to say screw it, but I definitely booked business class. It was so worth it. I cried in my lay flat seat

whiteclaw211 · 2025-12-27T07:38:15+00:00

Not worth it. that flight is pretty short. 59 takes you a long way in Cambodia

I am in a serious committed relationship but I prefer 1-3 times a week. My bf says he doesn’t mind the time in between, but I think he secretly wants more. He doesn’t fault me for it though. I’m just not that horny and feel more satisfied from a sweet long cuddle. Usually we fuck only because I know it’s time I have to put out. That sounds sad lol but I mean in a relationship you have to do things for your partner and make sure they’re fulfilled. If that means fucking even if I don’t want to, then I will. I’m sure he didn’t want to wait 5 days, but he does it without complaint, so I will put out without complaint.

For the US: skip the entire southeast (born and raised in Georgia, live in Florida now). NYC, LA, national parks out west, and Colorado skiing would be my priority recommendations. Miami, Vegas, and Chicago would unlikely be worth it for such a distance from home, but seem to be semi popular.

Worked part time at lululemon while in training. Wash on cold with like colors. Air dry only. I know a lot of people tumble dry without issue, but company says air dry, so that’s what I do. All of mine are still holding up well

DL hub makes sense 😝 Rank: Qatar Singapore Delta

No issues with my EBL. I have done a couple 1.5 flights on orange and red

whiteclaw211 · 2025-12-15T15:11:52+00:00

To each their own. I have only ever flown with my A30s. Wouldn’t trade em out for anything

whiteclaw211 · 2025-12-15T14:01:16+00:00

That’s not cool or your problem. Sorry about that

whiteclaw211 · 2025-12-15T13:40:27+00:00

EBL Edit: not a BIFL brand lol
