Might have to travel to Hyderabad from LAX for a family emergency. Do you have to travel to India via Vande Bharat mission or can you travel by Emirates etc? Emirates is exorbitant at $3.3k but Vande Barath is a 4 stop flight! Any advice from recent travelers?

How much detail do you provide to your boss and team about your vacation travel plans… destinations, traveling with who and how long you plan to stay?

I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money.
1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case?
2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances?
3. What documents should I carry with me?

What is offered for breakfast at JFK Flagship First dining?

Thinking of downgrading CSR. If I do so, I have already used $300 travel credit and Dash Pass, and redemption of points - would :
1. I get the annual fee back? Prorated?
2. Have to pay back benefits? $300 credit? Redeemed points benefit back?

Does it bother anyone else when friends / family think that just because you have points for a hotel that it’s “free”? My girlfriends want to go on a trip and just expect me to use points for our hotel room without them pitching in at all or in other ways. Just venting. Makes me not want to go.

Fishes, happy new year! Targeting to go back to India in 5 years - figuring out what needs to be done professionally and financially. Professionally, I can stay on course and become partner but don't know what exit options in India would be like. Probably not even worth going through the grind now. So thinking of moving to industry although I like consulting. Thoughts? Financially, already have 2 cr worth assets in India and planning to have 5 cr more by the time I leave. Thoughts?
