I do this more frequently than I'm proud of...to the point that my friends now have me call for them. I have gotten miles for delays, A/C not working, sitting next to a fat person, plane smelling like shit, etc.

Be very polite (almost overly polite), mention your loyalty to the airline, stress that you usually have great experiences with them and that's why you were so surprised about what happened, reinforce that their customer service has always been great in the past, say that this one incident isn't going to keep you from flying with them but you're just hoping that they can make it right for you. And for a long delay like this, say that it caused you to be late to an important event/meeting.

Works every time.

Also, wow...typing this out and reading it really made me feel like a Karen 😳

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
