Flying United EWR-PTY Panama City on a 737-900 where I can pay to upgrade to business for $189 or $273. Business is 2-2 on this aircraft, flight is ~5 hours and I am premier silver. Is it worth paying cash for the upgrade? This would be a solo birthday trip for myself.

100% pull the trigger and upgrade, I’m actually shocked the price is that low. I fly delta and their price for upgrades on flights that long are often hundreds of dollars

like

Pull the trigger but why is it either $189 or $273….. there would be no reason to pick $273 lol

like

Yes, one way is 189 and other way is 273. All seats are open right now in business.

I’m particular about planes so I wouldn’t because it’s just a 900. I would if it were a Max 9. I’d enjoy economy plus on the 900.

Thanks everyone, was debating this for a while but just pulled the trigger on the ewr-pty segment for $189! On the return I will pray that my cpu clears lol.

But now which is the best seat? All seats are open right now, rows 1-5 ABCD.

Thank you all

That’s a steal. I would do it without hesitation.

Treat yo self

Yes, that’s a no brainer

Ueah even for recliner first/biz that’s a good deal on a long-ish flight.

Yes, just flew on that plane business last week. Unless you’re tight on money treat yourself. Plus you should be able to get into the star alliance lounge if EWR has one. If it were 3 id say prob not.

Totally worth it.

I would do it in a heartbeat

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Never been a landlord before and obviously not a great time to be selling so curious how much would I need to get in rent in order to make it worth it to me and not losing $$$?

Noticed there was no option for Alt Ed teachers so I created this.
