Traveling to Dubai from India with a h1b visa expiring in 4 months on emirates. On arrival visa eligibility requires at least 6 months of h1 validity, which makes my SO ineligible. What is the best option for getting a Dubai visa? Has anyone been in this situation? Pls help

For those who consult on a budget, Southwest Airlines brought back alcohol this week and they're accepting drink coupons from 2020 and 2021 through the end of this year!
Cheers! 🥂🍻🍷🥃

Hi fish! Anybody have delta drink vouchers they’d be willing to share? Heading out on bachelor party - thanks in advance!

I have 100k+ points on southwest airlines. I haven't flown SW in over 4 years and mostly use delta for domestic travel now.
What can I do with these points? I want to book an international trip but I know southwest doesn't have an alliance.

In air. Any Delta drink vouchers people need to get rid of? 🙏🙏

Has anyone flown Qatar Airways from the US to India lately? Indian Civil Aviation website says the air bubble with Qatar only allows people coming from Qatar, South America or Africa

I don't understand why everyone doesn't do the southwest companion pass hack. Once you understand how to do it, it is very simple and gets you the companion pass for as close to 2 full years as you can get.

Can you all share what the average comp for S1 or S2 (S1 for FDD internal transfer) for FDD is currently for Big 4 in the Southwest US region. Feel free to throw out any base salaries and bonuses seen in the last two years and this year. Thanks.

Does anyone have a delta airlines corporate code they can share?

What's the average % delta between EY & EYP?

Broadly speaking, I'm aware it likely varies by COL & Industry.

Which lounge is better at JFK T4, Delta or Centurion?

Anyone seen any Black History Month work they like this year? All I’ve seen so far is brands either staying quiet or fumbling badly (Bath & Bodywork’s, American Airlines).

Has anyone worked at Southwest Airlines as a contractor? What are the benefits? I had a great interview yesterday and the recruiter actually wanted to find me something full time with them instead of contract . But I wanted to see what the contract benefits are

Anyone every vacationed in South Africa? Best hotels/area to stay? Best time of year?Anyone flew Qantas Airways? Pros and cons

Hi Guys,
How much one should ask for as remuneration in Dubai for a PO role? Also should one consider moving to Dubai at this stage provided the role is contractual in nature for 1 year with Visa validity of 2 years.
Currently, I am working as a PM in India in Healthcare MNC but role is that of a PO only. Salary is 30 lpa. A bit confused.
Hiring company- Adecco
Client- Emirates

Anyone with the Amex Platinum: do you think it is worth the fee? How have your airport lounge experiences been? Any difficulties getting approved? Note: I travel a few times a year but never for work so I don’t frequent any hotel chain or airline. I have a Southwest card for short flights currently. Happy to hear other card recommendations too!

I am delta platinum and flying to Asia soon. Have the option of flying direct on American or with one stop with delta. Delta flights are code share, operated by Air France or KLM. Will my delta platinum get me an upgrade on Air France or KLM. If not I would rather fly direct with American

I keep getting upgraded to a middle seat (comfort plus) on delta. How do I stop this happening? I would prefer my main cabin window seat!

I have $1.2k worth of delta e-credits that expire at the end of the year. Want to put them towards a solo trip somewhere in the US. Where would you go? Currently east coast based and love quiet locations with 4-5 star hotels. Not a big partier, more into the spa and restaurant scene.

What is the best strategy to use Amex member points to travel from US internationally business class (Emirates/British Air)? Sounds like transfer partner strategy is best —> Book a business class trip with points up front OR book economy and then try to upgrade with points later?

New consultant here traveling quite a bit soon. Based in a big city that has all 3 major airlines. I also have a Chase Freedom Card but cannot get sapphire due to 5/24 rule. Can anyone suggest which ecosystem of airline/hotel chain/rental car company to sign up for to maximize rewards? I’m leaning United or Delta based on where I’ve been told I may have to travel to (not just client site - co-locate to meet team as well) but just want some guidance on what everyone has. Thanks!

Any recent experience with Lufthansa?

The struggle continues. Perhaps for the last time.
Got re-upped for both Concierge Key and Delta Diamond. Surprising given I flew nothing last year. Don’t see how I’ll get either again. Hell, XP or Diamond seem a stretch, though I have over 130k MQMs to roll over.
The “who to fly?” Decision is much tougher now. Delta is better but CK rocks. 360 is impossible to get.

Anyone have delta drink vouchers? Have a flight tomorrow, much appreciated!!

Anyone book a British Airways flight using Iberia points and/or Singapore points before? Trying to figure out the process before transferring my Amex points to both programs

GSD&M? What’s up with them? How’s it to work there? Love the old Southwest stuff but haven’t seen anything in a long time. Saw they won FOTL but haven’t seen anything interesting from Fruit since they were at Crispin. Good accounts? Bad accounts? Help me out.

Is it good to work for delta airlines after working in SAP labs for almost 5 years as a java backend developer?

Would a round trip with a layover each way count as 4 flights towards a delta challenge or just 2?

New gig means I’ll be traveling ~2 times a month. 50% of the time to the same location.

I’m looking at the Delta Skymiles Reserve and Platinum. The rub is I have to book through concur with my corporate card (makes me mad).

I could waiver out of the MQD requirement with annual spending but I already have a Chase Sapphire Reserve.

Is the Delta Skymiles Reserve worth it? Should I get it and cancel the CSR? Keep both?

My goal is to get status asap and have net zero cost for the card(s).

Looking for 2 American Airlines SWU. Pl let me know.

I miss Delta. Anyone racking up the MQMs?

Any opinion on Product Manager roles at Delta Airlines?

Exit ops, wlb, comp, etc
