Flying from United from BDL to EWR. My seat is facing backwards. Like I'm face to face with another dude for the next 78 minutes. How do I not be awkward?

Ahhhh.... Row 13. I quite like that group of four.
BA 777s have this bizarre config in J. Side by side seats that face each other with a slideable screen (that has to be open for take off and landing). A1 - that's one to avoid.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

The Blue Crab Bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people had tried over time (weight-lifters, longshoremen, etc.) but nobody could do it.
