Where is your flight from/to?

You get unlimited complimentary upgrades on domestic (except premium transcon LAX/SFO-BOS/EWR and non west coast hawaiian routes) and a few short-haul international routes.

You need to use your PlusPoints on anything else.

You should definitely be on the list (but probably very far down on that list) aka… you ain’t getting that upgrade

I’m not even on the list lol but flying out of LAX to the east coast so guess makes sense per the first comment

Did you buy the flight with miles or pay?

LAX to EWR doesn't qualify for comp upgrades.

I’m a new winter grad and I feel absolutely horrendous. As much as I don’t want to admit it I’ve never been more depressed in life. It’s not even bc I’ve lost the stress from school, it’s that I really don’t look forward to my job.

I’ve always wanted to travel the world but I’m in finance and in the role I am in there’s no way for me to do that. I’ve also always wanted to start some kind of food business but it feels like a pipe dream especially given the risk and trade off. Any suggestions?

Fishes honest opinion needed. Me and My so presently live in Arkansas, living in our first home with a child 4 year, both of us recently changed our jobs and have HHI ~ 420K, current mortgage 1600/month. We are looking to move to Dallas and thinking of buying a house ~996K with a 15% down. Questions -
1. Should we go for house of that budget? We can afford, but asking based on market.
2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?
*Getting a rate lock 4.25% 🤞🏼
