I wanted to post this here to get the most reach. If you have Marriott free night stays expiring in the next two weeks, consider using it for someone less privileged and letting them check in. I just did it, and booked a room for someone who recently lost their house and loved one. It’s better than letting it go to waste, and it’ll mean a lot more for someone else. It’ll make you appreciate how much you have!

Genuinely curious question.. if something goes wrong (i.e, room damage) are you on the hook?

The hotel takes a card on check in, which I can see the last 4 digits of on my reservation now. That should be the payment method responsible for the incidentals.

I’d like to add that you can donate your travel miles to charity. Childspring International in ATL flies children across the world to get life changing surgeries. They could always use the miles.

It'll get nerfed anyway. Using an expiring free night isn't going to move the needle.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

How is the job security at Delta Air Lines ?
Do they layoff frequently?

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
