Dude transfer those miles... I was actually just checking sfo to Singapore and getting business class for like 70k...

Where are you checking? I only have miles with United so if it’s not a Star Alliance airline, can’t use it

I would rather have a second trip like that, but I’m cheap

MC1, agreed. I have chosen an EP seat already 💃🏾

Are you able to get the Singapore Airlines flight? I would go for business class, it's a hella long flight...

like

Nope, no SA flight available using miles for the day I need to travel

Depends on airlines, if business class is also United, maybe no. A definite yes for Singapore Airlines

Yeah I’m not impressed with business on United. Unfortunately it’s a United flight

This is all about the airline.

Are economy revenue tickets super expensive that 90K miles is a good deal?

Lol it’s not. But for the date I want, I don’t have much of a choice. 90k might actually be RT miles for off peak season

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

“We are fully remote”

Me : Awesome so no travel required at all?

“Well you need to come to the office 3 times a week and the other two you will be popping into potential customers on site”

Me: So not remote at all…?

“No we’re remote, you get two days traveling not in the office”

Just over 6 years in B4 financial services tax in PNW area. Mostly doing compliance work pumping out K1s and returns. Just got an industry offer at 155k 15% bonus and 100k equity (4year vesting). Fully remote position with occasional travel. Should I accept? I know it's a long shot but deep down I always had an ambition to pursue PA to see if I can make a partner.
