Have you seen the way they handle checked luggage? Certainly a risk checking it.

No joke, I saw someone do exactly this at MSP this morning (on Delta). Should’ve posted to People of the Airport (derp). So just know, yeah you can do it, but you might end up in a FB post--under a more vigilant eye.

I have no answers for you but really curious about the situation in which you need to air travel with a 65” TV

Better get ready to get a new tv. Not a shot the airline doesn’t destroy it. That will probably be the first thing they throw out of the plane

I’m assuming it is a high-end TV (eg OLED ultra-hd)...do you have airline status?

Haha not judging, was genuinely interested. Poor assumption on my part hat if you were moving you could move the TV with your other furniture... good luck.

Yes, I am platinum at AA and united

#AmazonPrimeShipping, just buy a new one for what you’ll end up trying to pay in shipping

The problem is keeping it under the 65” total size. Above that you will pay much more for oversized luggage

It was probably an international traveler, it’s quite common for them to buy a TV here which they can’t buy in their country. If it was in original packaging, it normally holds up good and reaches the destination intact.

^D3 thanks for being a douchebag and naming all of "us" as Sudhir.

Venture X doesn't look like their miles transfer to any of those airlines.

24F, moving to NY for a year or so for work. Originally, I was looking in WV, Chelsea, Soho etc to live more downtown, ideally in a luxury building. While I can afford it, I travel a lot personally and am having a hard time justifying the high rent if I’m going to be in and out. Trying to decide if I should find a roommate for the more downtown spots, or go to UWS, really liked it and could be cheaper? For people who travel a lot and live in NY, which neighborhoods and how do you budget?
