Hi - Tried googling this but there’s no definitive answer also asking here.

If I need “10 one-way” flights for a status challenge, does a layover count as 1 “one-way” - I.e., going from SFO to PHX if I were to do SFO - LAX - PHX would that be 2 “one-way” flights?

This challenge is for Delta if that matters.

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?

Best Marriott hotel in London? Looking at 5 nights shortly after the New Year, no specific plans.

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?
