Who are top shops in Phoenix? residing in the southwest for this year & partner is looking to connect on storyboard work

Is there an easy way to figure out which cities Delta flies to direct from Philadelphia? I used to live in New York where Delta was great but having trouble finding desirable destinations that Delta flies to direct from Philly without having to enter a new search for every rando place that I pick. Insight/thoughts appreciated.

How do T2 specialised consulting firms fare against each other eg Delta/ FTI , Altman Solon etc in terms of: Work culture, growth and pay. Any APAC specific insight would be awesome.

Hey Fam, quick urgent question - Has anyone here travelled to India on e-tourist visa over the past month? My wife has an e-tourist visa approved on Oct 22, and we have an Air India flight booked in a week from SF -> Delhi. Just wondering if e-tourist visas are now allowed via the air bubble pact between India and the US? Thanks a lot in advance for all the guidance!

History test (hopefully) not too long from now: Which of the following virus strains was the deadliest during the Covid-19 pandemic? A) Alpha, B) Delta, C) Omicron, D) None of the above

If I pay (using $ or points) to upgrade my seat on a delta flight to first class, will I get more MQMs? (Looks like I will end up being ~100 MQMs shy of gold….)

Do Director exits at the big DfW places (PepsiCo, AA, Southwest, KC, KDP, Capital One, etc) clear 300k in TC?

Anyone has American Airlines Admirals Club day pass they are willing to share?

Anyone has one American Airlines Admirals Club day pass they are willing to share?

Does anyone know if the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge at LGA is open? Google says it’s temporarily closed but I recall reading about it reopening this month.

Flying with family tomorrow on delta. SO and I got upgraded (only have silver this year). First is 75% empty and there’s no one else on the wait list. Want to also get parents upgraded, but fee is $200+ a person for the fee upgrade. Think they’ll do it for free at the gate, or discounted?

If I’m one flight away (~$300) from Silver status on delta, is that worth it to get another flight before the new year? Status rolls over to 2022

Covaxin 50% effective against Delta variant: Real-world study 😓

Anyone have the Emirates Skywards Premium World Elite Mastercard? Thinking of getting it for the perks on an upcoming trip. Would probably use on occasion thereafter. I’d love to see what you all think - it’s a hefty annual fee!

Which airline would be best in terms of destinations/convenience/perks? For context, I'm a newer business analyst in the New York area. I haven't traveled on a study so I don't know specific destinations yet, but I'm just thinking ahead for when I'll need to travel. I've asked around and it seems like American/Delta/United are the most popular

Where do you go to be allowed to bring a 2nd carry on bag? American Airlines

I am looking to complete a delta status challenge and want to turn my layover flight into two legs, meaning I would have to go out of the connecting airport and back in through security. Has anyone done this? Does this count as two legs / one-way trips?

so Qatar air biz > emirates biz

- better amenities kit
- unlimited desi chai

Emirates:
- pick up / drop

I am 8k short on delta miles to get to the next tier by end of year. What's the best way to get that? Can I simply buy the miles?

So after 5 years I will be losing my Southwest Companion pass this January. I originally earned it 5 years ago via the sign up bonus for the southwest cards (earned it with travel since then). Can I cancel my southwest card and just re sign up again?

Don’t see anything in the fine print (there’s something about not claiming the bonus within 24 months) - but wanted to see if any of you have tried this?

Really don’t want to lose this perk.

SAP labs vs Delta airlines same package.

Which to choose ?

Anyone know if Digital Delta is the Australian equivalent of Digital Lighthouse at KPMG?

3300 MQMs away from Delta Gold Medallion. Worth taking a trip that I don’t need / want just for the status?

Alternatively, has anyone been able to get Delta to waive a similar number of MQMs and upgrade anyway? Thanks!

Digital Delta team at KPMG - are they any good? What are the comparable teams from the other big 4?

Got a offer from wallmart global tech in java profile .. I have seen so many negative reviews not sure what's the reality still very confused to choose between delta airlines and wallmart. And of course wallmart is paying much more. @wallmart

Delta, United, Airfrance, and American- which is better for international travel? Assume no status but business class ticket approved.

How do you decide on which airline and hotel brands to ensure optimal benefits/perks? Currently use American Airlines since they are big in Philadelphia; and prefer Marriott hotels. But there aren’t any cross over benefits as AA does with Hyatt.

LA 🐠 looking at flights into LA. ONT option is $130 cheaper than LAX (both jetblue)

Arriving at 11pm and staying near koreatown. Is it worth it? Looks like it’s a 50-55 min drive vs 30 min drive but not sure how much longer it’ll take to get out of LAX vs ONT. if LAX I’d probably ask a friend to pick me up, if ONT then I’d Uber

Anyone willing to part ways with 1k American Airlines miles? Short for a round trip flight to ski and don’t need the 2k minimum.

Can you upgrade delta tickets purchased using the companion pass ?

May not be the right place - but traveling to Costa Rica in two weeks. Flying American on the way there and JetBlue on the way back. JetBlue apparently doesn't allow carry owns AND a personal bag. Only a personal bag that needs to fit under the chair. I've measured and it's not exactly the dimensions but it's close. What are the chances they actually measure?

I'm a British Airways Gold member but want to start earning status on American - if I attach my American Frequent Flyer number to an upcoming Iberia flight - will I still be able to Enter the BA lounge?
