Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Any recommendations for hotels at Makkah and Madina. InshaAllah planning a trip in December for umrah. Also, is it just me or is the living in the zam zam tower overrated? It seems there is always a line for elevators and it seems to be a time consuming affair to get out for prayers. Jazakallahu khair.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Anyone traveling on weekly basis? Does your company allow Uber select/black or Lyft Lux+

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
