I know the board is scared of him because he’s more than a loose cannon but I’m seriously going to have to go to the host etc if he won’t stop impersonating an atty on here with that moniker.
Son, I just can’t let you do that. You’ve got to stop. |

Date: March 6th, 2024 5:49 PM Author: Provocative white abode haunted graveyard How could I have forgotten about the incredible largesse of airline carriers in allowing for such easy and flexible points redemption
Unless you're spending $1,000,000k per annum like drakemallard, "points" are like pissing in the wind. A credit card bonus gets you like ONE one-way routing in intl J, but the people boasting about using "points" all do like 30 round trips a year, which doesn't check out at all. Most of us don't have the flexibility to do "open jaws" or whatever; usually it's a very specific and tight itinerary, and the options given to you are all like "300k points + $249" |

Cathay
ANA
Korea
of course every airline has different biz products on different planes so its also a bit of the luck of the draw. even though korea is last, it's still a good product. |

Date: March 6th, 2024 5:53 PM Author: citrine infuriating property love of her life I am paying full price for biz class to Japan and Korea Prestige Class was like $13k which was absurd, JAL was also very high. Cathay was slightly cheaper than ANA but the reviews were not great - I've never flown Cathay before. I should've added Asiana in there too, but I've only flown them on short international flights. I flew JAL economy a few times long haul and it was a total disaster, truly awful experience, but I'll try to look into them if I can cop a free business class.
