Secret is to do your homework and know the schedule. Have a rationale for not taking the direct flight (e.g. - I've a client meeting that has been rescheduled), and for being on the ground for the connection (e.g. ... a call that my boss wants me on), and then a wrap up line (... so I've kind of no choice but to switch to a connection and suck up getting in later than I'd hoped....). Everyone hates their nasty bosses so the agent will help!

Ew delta

Theoretically yes. But I haven't actually done it.

Yes you can as long as space on the connection flight

I have had hit or miss success with that. Know what flight you want before calling and if not successful, try calling back to get someone else.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer?

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days.

Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
