Cold drinks left in car upon return
I normally leave cold unopened drinks in my rental when I return it in the car return area. Do you car return employees actually drink them or am I wasting them?
Good for hotel travels?
I travel for work and am wanting to replace my roku. I wanted a Chromecast but they're discontinued and these streaming sticks seem to be a good alternative. I use a travel router in my room so no issues for casting.
Trip in October. Points to Companion pass?
I've got a trip with my wife in October that we're taking. I'm looking to book with points before then. However, I should have companion pass for her before the trip. Should I book now and then cancel her ticket and add her with companion pass?
Mixed family plan?
I'm looking at my family's usage of data. My wife and son use normally at most 7gb of data a month. I use 30-50gb a month as I travel for work.
I'm thinking unlimited premium for my line and doing by the gig for my wife and son and also bring over my late father's line as I don't want to lose his number (no usage). Tried adding to a "cart" on the website and it looks like I can only do 1 option at a time. Am I missing something? Have any other recommendations? I can't drop $700 at one time for the annual plans unfortunately.
Travel for work across the US. Thoughts?
Long time lurker, New poster. Considering switching to US Mobile. I currently have T-Mobile and when I drive in the mountainous areas, I've been losing connection bad. Kentucky, Colorado, wherever there is a mountain and I drive, no signal. I like the option of being able to switch networks whenever I want. Any thoughts on these? I'm searching the website and not finding a coverage map for each network.
Priority Boarding & RR Question
Do we earn additional points on the purchase of Priority Boarding?
Touchless ID issues on boarding pass?
Anyone else have problems with their boarding passes not getting touchless ID populated? I've contacted support and they claim my passport information isn't attached to my reservation even though I've got it all set up in the southwest app. I've had it enabled for weeks and every flight I've flown since has PreCheck but not touchless and I've had to contact support for them to attach my passport information.
Never thought I'd miss a pair of buds. OpenDots Two
I bought the OpenDots Two on release to give them a try. They were my first open ear buds. I absolutely loved them. Many times I forgot I was wearing them. I went trail riding a few weekends ago and they were in the glove box in the side by side. We had a slow roll onto our side. Once we were settled, glove box was opened and everything went falling to the ground. Somehow the bud case opened and the buds fell out and the case closed. I grabbed the case without realizing the buds were missing. We got home and I opened the case and behold, no buds. No way of getting back to the spot on the trail they went missing. Those poor buds all alone most likely buried in the mud. I miss them dearly. One day I shall get a replacement pair. Words of wisdom.. Leave them at home when trail riding 😅
Boarding time is getting extended by 5 MORE minutes
Heard from flight attendants on my last flight that they're getting 35 minutes to board starting Aug 1st. I still think this is not enough time to fully board the plane for an on time departure. Thoughts?
First full week using my APAP
Working out the kinks but it's starting to feel like it's helping. Some nights are easier than others because I need to work on my humidity level. I woke up during the night last night barely able to breathe. Doesn't help that I travel for work so last night I'm completely across the country and the air here is different.
Arrival gate on app?
Am I missing it somewhere or does Southwest not show on the app what gate your arriving at? I normally fly American and they have what gate we're arriving in so I can easily prepare myself for connecting flights. I would love to see that on Southwest.
Last night was my first night with my APAP.
Sleep study had a AHI of 25.9 events. Using the Luna G3 with a F20 mask with a heated tube. Lots to get used to but hopefully it'll help me in the long run. I gotta figure out a solution for dry mouth.
USB C Ethernet Hub to Apple Pencil Adapter to Lightning cable?
Weird problem that I need to solve on the spot. I need an Ethernet to Lightning with power delivery. I'm thinking this may work. a USB C/Ethernet Adapter that provides power delivery connected to a Apple Pencil Adapter (USBC to Lightning) then Lightning cable to a 9th Gen iPad. In theory, would this possibly work?
Work travelers, do you max out your allowed budget?
For more detail, for those that book their hotels using Concur or Navan or other corporate booking platforms, do you book your hotels maxing out the limit or do you find a happy balance?
F&B credit & Tips Question
For hotels that give F&B credits. If I get a drink at the bar or food at the restaurant and use my credit and have some left over and leave a tip, will the tip balance out as long as I don't go over my credit?
Looking for great premium earbuds for small concha ears.
My favorite earbuds of all time have been my Sony Linkbuds S due to the size of my ears however the I've got battery failure in them. I currently use Samsung Buds3 Pro but the size stretches the concha in my left ear, making it unbearable after about 20 mins of wear. Would love to hear recommendations from real people and not reviews from a single article or YouTube reviewer.
I see a 3x AA points promotion going to start soon for IHG stays. I currently am Diamond status with Hilton. Would it be beneficial to pair IHG and AA?
I normally have 4 hotel nights and 3 flights a week.
