Qsuites. I just booked from BOS to MLE and SIN to BOS for next February a year out. Plenty of availability if you look a year out. I transferred to British airways avios, used avios boost, and then transferred from British airways with the boosted avios to Qatar. Out of pocket cash spend per person was around $2300 used less than 80k miles to book two seats round trip.

Thanks! I’ll check that out for my dates.

Position to NYC, use Aeroplan & fly to SIN on points. Pay cash for the fare to BKK 1.5 hours north.

Plenty of 86.5K each way Aeroplan routes with the ability to make it 50k points + ~$250 usd taxes and fees

Be careful with the Aeroplan mixed cabin itineraries! Nothing wrong with them but make sure you’re aware you might not be in business class every leg

Now you know why they’re called sky pesos.

Those dates and location, gonna be hard to do round trip in business with those points unless you’re really ready to put in the diligence and have the risk appetite

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig?

Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?
