Haha no, it’s probably a codeshare with United or Air India or something

Lol, thanks. I didn’t want to fly United or air India and was relieved for a second when I thought I had other options 😅

You can fly Delta from NYC or any US major city via AMS or CDG to other major city in India

Why not fly one of the ME3 via Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi? Not direct, I know, but the best service and comfort in the skies

Prefer a direct flight, might pick that route on my way back.

Direct flight from ewr = Air India or United. No other options. Just before the pandemic, Delta had started a direct flight to Mumbai from jfk but not sure if they shut it down during the pandemic

Try the delta from JFK to BOM.

That’s on hold rn

I’d fly delta and collect those points!

Code share flight... I will do any of the Middle east airlines if okay with stopover. Generally better than US or European airlines.

I would avoid those as requirements keep on changing. Preferable to take direct. I had few friends book United or AI for less than 3k in business. Not a bad option.

What is the issue with United? No layover, direct flight. The only thing I don't like is their one bag requirement.

Yeah. Even I prefer Emirates and similar, but prefer united for Ewr - Bom route.

I'm alaska 75k miler. Alaska doesn't fly to India (BOM) directly. It used to have Emirates status/miles share program... now it has American code share.

In my opinion, Emirates is a better option (for comfort). If they are not flying, then American or Cathy Pacific.

AMA: International Travel (US to Europe) During Coronavirus! I found very little info on this topic before my trip and had a bunch of questions which I wish someone could have helped with.

For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at. I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India.

I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify
