International, all cabins get wine and beer gratis.

Domestic, only high status or cash.

Yeah... Water

Don’t take that for granted lol. Just flew JetStar in Australia and bottled water is $4. They’ll give you a cup of the bathroom tap for free.

Everyone on here saying no is only half right. typical domestic flights don't get anything alcoholic free unless first class or 1k. BUT if you are flying nonstop from NY to west coast, economy plus also gets a free drink. now the rules say you get one, but I've only been turned down once for extra rounds. I fly EWR to LAX every week and I always get about 3 drinks for free. sometimes the attendants don't know about it (it's new as of this year) so you'll have to show them the website

Saying “please” and “thank you” I get drinks free ~80% of the time...no 1k

Maybe I’m on a bunch of delayed flights? But no joke it works, maybe chat them up a but when I go to the bathroom and get a few more 😂

Don't forget GS also gets free drinks :P
And for those that want free drinks, I usually give away all my drink certs to whoever asks me first around Feb 1.

United sucks uuugh

but they don't

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
