This was the first time I've ever flown through a lightening storm and it was absolutely beautiful!

For those of you on medication, how do you manage delayed flights causing you to miss appointments? Often, cancellation policies are strict, expensive, and require several days notice.

I am about 100 nights away from reaching the lifetime grandfathered premier access, not sure if I can make it by year end. No longer on travel projects. Any tips? Any new updates from Marriott?

What’s the worst part about travel?

Flying Qantas (One World). Will the segments count towards my AA status?

How is Austrian Air and Air Canada? Solid airlines for economy seats?

Anyone know a way to get a cheap flight this coming festive period?

Suggestions for a 2-3 day solo trip for a female 28 years old within the US. I live in Florida if that helps

Is it “safe” to fly domestic with Pax Era (battery and cart)?

For the 🐠 that have traveled to Egypt, can I get some recommendations on tour companies? I’m traveling with my partner (two females) and would like to have something arrange. 🙏

FYI - Just went on the Marriott website and selected the option to combine both spg and Marriott accounts. All stays and details updated. Past history to be updated in 48 hours. Get it done folks!!

Solo trip to Puerto Rico. Any recs? Thanks fam.

Thoughts on the best domestic mileage program? Any recommendations for someone also potentially using those miles for international redemptions?

Has anyone seen any decent MQD run ideas for Delta recently? I’m about 8k MQDs from diamond. Seems the Aeromexico method is on hold until they are fully back up and running. Thanks!

Hey friends! I’m looking for some recommendation for a 2-3 days trip (ski, cross country ski, or anything in nature) around the Northeast (drivable from Boston). Would prefer to rent isolated cabins over hotels, but open to any rec at this point. Thanks!!!! :)

I’ve been in Minneapolis 1 week and the skyways are killing me. How long did it take you to learn to navigate through these rat mazes?

Any recommendations on seaside towns that would be fun for a 5-6 day stay within an 8 hour drive of Boston? Going next week, so not a place that's a ghost town in October.

First 2 years for CSR is about to be over, and I’m looking at the value of the card against the annual fee. Combined with my other cards (Chase Freedom Unlimited & Flex) and deducting the $300 travel fee, the net benefit is $76. Is that enough to justify keeping the card? The lounge access at airports were a nice benefit, never got to use it since my client travel was through Amtrak.

Any thoughts for getting the legal benefit during open enrollment? Any success stories or benefits?

Best and worst thing about working in immigration?

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

So who has tried the direct message feature?

Starting a new job as a Merchandising Coordinator for a large food/sales company soon… no experience in merchandising, just customer service. Any advice???

Recently joined cognizant. Current location is Pune, joining location is kolkata.
Recruitment HR has confirmed in the email that I can collect the asset from pune and work from pune for few days until I go to kolkata.
Onboarding HR is like you have to come down to kolkata for collecting the laptop. Has Anyone faced similar experience?

If I get laid off, I have a previous colleague that started a cybersecurity company. I would love to get involved on the business side of it. Any pointers on skills that are attractive in this realm for a startup? Would be mostly (if not all) federal defense contracting clients. I’m currently in Deloitte’s cyber risk practice but my background and passion is in accounting and finance, and business operations. Graduated in 2017 so still early career.

If I apply to S&, does it matter what location? Currently in HCOL city but I’m open to moving somewhere but idk where. Will this impact pay? Is it easy to change offices? Does it matter which listing I apply to because it’s the same role but different cities? I just don’t know where I want to move to and want flexibility to choose later

I'm accepting an offer with a new company... Start in early Aug. Senior Manager role, though in this company that equates to Manager at most consulting farms. They did not had hunt me. I came to them for the job.

I have COVID delayed vacations planned for the last week in August and the first week in October.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.

Social media is changing, from IG going to video and Twitter….well. It has become clear how important focusing on multiple social media channels can be.

Tips to improve on IR (GMAT/EA)?

Thoughts: Managers and senior managers should intervene when project folks starts working more than 8 hours. It's sad that initially everybody talks about 8 hours work goal but employee forced or end up working more than 10 hours. Company is not asking you to work more than 8 hours, it's the pressure from peers and seniors and managers who do "a gentle request" to finish a task asap.
Also managers, Please teach new techies to hold the horses and not put there peer in pressure.

Dry cleaner ruined the zipper on two identical cashmere sweaters. What should I expect in terms of a fix? They offered to sew on a cheap looking zipper, which would ruin the sweater in my opinion

How many hours are you IBD guys REALLY working. Everyone says 80+ hours but never seem to be around when you need them

Some employees received a retention bonus/contract recently. Makes me feel they aren't going to do anything else to keep up with the market inflation, or attempt to retain the rest of the employees. Good time to exit or pray they do a market correction with the year end hikes?

Anyone visited the updated Admirals Club in CLT? I've avoided connecting through there until the construction was complete. Was the 6-month shutdown worth it?

I’m loving the resurgence of this bowl. Making me feel like I’m about to board group 1 somewhere 💕

Person brought a pit bull onto the flight. I’m shocked there is not a breed restriction

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.

Overheard at Tampa Airport: Final boarding call for Spirit Airlines flight to Atlantic City.

What's the best story you can imagine on that flight? 🤣😭

Anyone can tell me what an airport lounge looks like?

First business trip in 20 months. TSA agent yelled at me for nonsensical reasons. I almost cried. I was worried things would change, but they are just as dehumanizing as always. Felt like home.

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.

Oh boy, they just paged “Mary and Joseph” in LGA C....
