Looking for how you would handle NYC to Zurich flight options. Flying with husband and 4 y/o in early July 2025. 7 hr flight. Would love biz class but date is fixed bc lodging options are slim. WWYD?

Currently booked:
Delta economy for 30k points + $5 each via Virgin

Would you choose either of these:
1. Upgrade to Delta Premium Select now:
Cost is 42,500 + $500 each. Change fees would be $50 each min
2. Wait to upgrade in Delta app at check-in. Cost now is $1175 each

C. Fly a European partner at a higher class of service and connect somewhere

The JFK-FRA on SQ is one of the most comfortable experiences to get to/from Europe in J. If it’s convenient and available for multiple people…it’s absolutely worth it

Almost impossible this late with a fixed date. Maybe you get lucky if you're willing to reposition from say Paris to Zurich, but with how much AF awards have dried up, I wouldn't count on it.

Either pay the cash to upgrade or stick with what you have.

I did a seats.aero search for any major airport in Europe. Haven’t found any AF period for like the next year. Found some Aeroplan awards for my route but not my exact date. I’ll keep looking. What I get for planning a trip during peak times and no flexibility lol

7 hours really isn’t that long, that’s like 2.5 movies. Personally wouldn’t waste that many points money to upgrade.

Yeah Europe from east coast is a crappy flight because usually overnight. If it were a daytime flight I’d be fine in economy.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

My company’s SOP template has a table of contents and a section at the top where the SOP owner is supposed to add a short statement containing the “Why” of the SOP, meaning a statement about what the SOP is supposed to solve for/ accomplish.

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.
