This is a great change for those of us who have exited consulting and no longer fly for business. We can now earn elite status entirely on credit card spend.

The fact they are extending status and changing up the rules is exactly why I didn’t freak out about trying to cram in a bunch of travel through the end of this year

Hello travellers!
I had booked a deluxe private room in Zostel Srinagar for Oct 3 and 4. There has been a change of plans but unfortunately it's not refundable. However name change is possible. If anyone is interested to purchase, please let me know. (3k is the room fee)

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?

Any resume writer referrals? I’m trying to make the jump into project management.

I’m hoping a better written resume will help target algorithms to get my resume viewed for other roles.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
