My international flight is delayed due to closure of Pakistan airspace. Going to miss my connecting flight (on a different carrier) . Can I apply for trip cancellation insurance with chase for this ?

Will hotels and airlines extend their status requirements? (I really only care about Marriott)

ATL airport a chaos this morning... Regular check point an hour long to clear..

If I have a connecting flight from domestic to international, how soon do I need to arrive for the first flight? Are their customs process I have to go through when boarding? Never traveled international before…

First domestic flight:
IAD -> DFW
Second international flight:
DFW -> ICN

Pretty sure the answer is self explanatory but first year with real status. Does Marriott status reset Jan 1? For instance if I need 10 nights for Platnium am I SOL if I stay 9 nights by Dec 31?

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do?

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.
