For Air Canada - If I don't select a seat ($$), are my wife and I likely to still be next to each other if purchased together?

Most of the flight is still empty, don't care where on the plane we sit, but don't want to pay $60+ each way to sit together.

Heads up: Hilton is giving triple points during July if you use their credit card for booking. Good opportunity to make up to 54 points per $1. Time to stack up those points! Happy monday! :D

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Guys I had a terrible nightmare this morning. Apparently I saw two middle aged men burning alive in a hotel room. And then I woke up.
Too much game of thrones or is there some meaning to this lol

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?

Is there a good website or group or reddit page for travel flash sales / deals?

Has anyone been offered a status buy-up for 2021. ~$1700 short of United 1k this year and think my travel will increase a good bit starting next year. Think it could make sense, especially given the 2021 thresholds

Anyone successfully use the $200 Amex hotel credit? The FHR and hotel collection redemptions are all pretty insane price wise. I’ve heard there are some good deals to be had in Vegas but looking for other options.

I'm currently a property accountant with an MBA in finance. I desire to earn more income considering my credentials and experience. I currently earn 93k and striving to get to 150 or even 200 to be able to live the way I want to live, pay for good schooling for my children, eat organic, travel etc. Even to buy a nice house in a great neighborhood is at lease a million. I'm looking for salary comparisons and recommendations to reach my financial goals

Starting as an SM in S&A on the strategy side in the next few weeks. What does travel budget generally look like? I understand first class flights are a no go domestic which sucks, but hoping hotel and food budget makes up for it. Also, does Deloitte pay for platinum Amex or is that out of pocket?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
