Thoroughly enjoyed flying Singapore airlines from EWR. Transferred 240k UR points to KrisFlyer for the round trip flight 6 months prior to departure.

If you have time before flying out, I would also look into Qatar qsuites - cousin redeemed it for 90k Avios one way (booked through BA I believe)

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
