Apparently GS also can create award space (as in, for us lowly 1K’s and below they will say no space available, and GS can call the line and say “make me a seat, now”.) as well as kick people out of standby queue (e.g. when ORD/EWR/IAD has a ton of canceled flights or delays, you jump to top of queue, irrespective of how badly it delays other ppl). Mad jealous (and this coming from a 1K)!

Planning her birthday— go to the dog beach + eat at a restaurant with a doggie menu + get a pup cake at a dog cafe + spend a night at a hotel (having trouble finding hotels that’s allow dogs >50lbs 😒). What else can I do for her? She has too many toys & doesn’t play with them often. No need for more treats since she eats more treats than kibbles. But what gift can I get her?
