I stayed at an Oyo that was pretty horrendous, and it was outrageously expensive cuz it was the only option, like 130 dollars. We should have just slept in the car.
They say they have no policy for or against saving seats otherwise known as we don’t want to get involved . I totally agree with you it’s garbage one person buys early bird or upgraded boarding and saves a bunch of seats. It’ll probably help cut down on the preboarders who don’t really need it as well.
@@Vegas.777 Exactly! On an ATL-BWI flight recently, 60%+ were pre-boarders. Years ago, you’d have to get a plastic placard after you checked in for pre-boarding. Now, we’re boarding Great Danes and mini horses as emotional support animals. Next, Southwest will start charging for bags as their quarterly report wasn’t too good. Naturally, if you get their co-branded credit card the first bag is free.😂
LUV the Southwest paying for seats as well, hopefully it will eliminate the miracle flyers who board with a wheelchair but sprint off the plane when it lands…
Delta seems to be as good as usual for reimbursements, from the overall comments in the groups I'm in. People are even getting hotel/Uber/meal reimbursements in a matter of days after submitting their forms. Oh, and Europe is NOT making airlines pay the added penalties we've heard so much about - unlike the US, they've ruled that the Crowdstrike issue was not within the airlines' control.
I received an email saying I'd get a $100 voucher; however I've not paid cash for Delta flights in a long time. If it's transferable I'll give it to my daughter who flies Delta. My canceled Delta flight was booked with Virgin points. Virgin emailed today saying my refund request was approved, and I did see $11.20 tax refunded to my CC. But the 37K points haven't yet been redeposited.
@@markostermann6632 And now seeing that Delta may be suing CrowdStrike and Microsoft for their losses (presumably for CrowdSrike pushing untested software to critical systems, and MS for allowing one tiny piece of third-party software to crash the whole Windows OS), the mess will continue for some time. Looking forward to new Apple ads: "Hi, I'm a Mac" "And I'm a" - [blue screen of death]
@@markostermann6632 Okok I have to explain the joke. My bad 🤣. Goop is the Gwyneth Paltrow business with the crazy insane stuff and prices (cute the candle that smells like ""her""). When she broke up with Chris Martin of Coldplay they made a very public and ridiculous display of announcing their ""conscious uncoupling"" 🤣🤣🤣
I am not a fan of the new southwest seating that they will be implementing. If you are a family that has to sit together fly a different carrier. i always pay for a early bird, only because i like to board first.
Lexis Nexis, buy receipts, then they can build up a history of your spending. Remember if you are on medication they can back in to your medical problems. Pay cash and they cannot profile you so easy
They know so much it is crazy. I think cash is really the only way to avoid it on the payment end. All of the transaction data is now shared for every credit/debit transaction and most banks/vendors are getting full data as to what you are buying.
I’m curious to see what benefits southwest credit cards are going to offer with reserved seats early bird or upgraded boarding are useless. I might keep my Southwest credit card just depending on the benefits. I only got it for the companion pass promo and I hate open seats.
That is angle we didn't discuss but it will be an interesting one. How will they evolve their credit card benefits to account for this new world of Southwest. Hopefully they come up with some nice perks.
There is no such thing as multiple A1 tickets. Where did you get that from. It’s A1-15 for business class then A16-60 are more than likely early bird payers.
Multiple people can buy the last minute early bird at the counter (or whatever it is called) for the $40 etc. and multiple people had the same number when my wife did it.
