Worth it to spend 40mins in the car vs 20 to fly your airline of choice with top tier? Or switch airlines and status match to the closer airline/airport? (1K on UA at EWR 40min vs Delta at LGA 20min)

Depends what you prefer more. I’d say that Delta > United, EWR > LGA, but also how much you value your time!! Cause that’ll add up to like 45 minutes a week.

Overall the ride home is gonna suck. Might as well earn more points while doing it.

Typically I’ve also found that I always work after landing so it doesn’t really matter to me if I’m working in the car or working at home 🙃

Star Alliance > Sky Team, so if you’re looking to burn those miles somewhere cool greater chance with United and EWR.

Are United miles still more valuable than sky miles with the mileagePlus devaluation?

Yup

Do you really think that you’ll make it to LGA in 20mins? Are you in the parking lot now?

I used to call my Uber at LGA as soon as my wheels touched the runway. On some days, I’d still wait 15 min for it

Planning a one-week summer vacation to Yellowstone Park area. Family unit of 6, so need to rent a single, large SUV. Just looked at prices and the cheapest car available for 6 people with unlimited mileage is $3,500+. Makes the vacation almost not worth it. Anyone have any recommendations on how to get a better deal? Any discount codes? Thank you in advance!!

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager. Offer states up to 30% travel (but was told 20% is more realistic). No further info given such as location of accounts I'd be working on or a baseline other AMs travel. Feels like a red flag. Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??
