Following!

I’ve flown Qantas hundreds of times. Qantas has great service (certainly better than any US carrier). They’re also part of oneworld, so you could credit miles to AA and get AA status benefits. That said, coming from the US, I wouldn’t fly Qantas to go to South Africa unless you’re also trying to go to Australia. Even from the west coast, flying via ATL instead of SYD is 4,000 miles shorter.

I’d highly recommend spending time in Cape Town if you do go to South Africa.

I might get roasted for asking such a basic question but - how much do you budget for eating out ($ amount or % of budget)?

Pre pandemic I was traveling 5 days a week and just used left over per diem on the one night I went out with friends at home. During covid I stayed home. Now that I’m fully vaccinated and are many of my friends they want to go out to eat/drink. During covid I moved from a LCOL to here so I’m experiencing delayed sticker shock at the prices. Any tips?

Can the hybrid model actually work?

People have gotten so used to just backing meetings up into each other. You logout of one and immediately jump in to another. I remember days full of meetings before but not at this volume.

I struggle believing this practice will cease with any percentage of the workforce at home. I don't subscribe to all or nothing but I'm interested in if this has been addressed. Has anyone's hybrid policy mentioned the future of meeting best practice?
