Hey all, anyone else in waiting hell without SUs? PD: Dec 24, RD April 26. No SUs since 5/22 for primary or dependent.

Anyone else NOT get the mass silent update yesterday/today? My last SU was 5/22. PD: Dec 24, RD: April 26, Bio Mid-May with one derivative. No EAD or APs approved yet. Haven't had any SUs at all for 2.5 months so worrying a bit. Wondering if there are others with similar stats that haven't seen any SUs for a while including from this week. Thanks!

Managed to pull off an amazing itinerary change that I didn’t think was possible! Didn’t see many DPs for ANA mileage club flexibility on issues with partner award bookings so adding my experience. I’d read that ANA is notoriously inflexible with changes, which was still my experience, but they are more flexible when there’s been a schedule change.

Booked AI J via ANA for their DEL-SFO flight on Jul 2 back in Feb. They made a massive schedule change and pulled up the flight by 11 hours. They were going on making many schedule changes and there have been several issues with this flight since they have been making technical stops in CCU due to the Pakistan airspace closure to Indian aircraft. In fact, one of the planes turned back after several hours of flying down due to a technical snag just a couple weeks back. They operate their old 777s on this route. I got super nervous flying this route with AI.

I called ANA and they refused to rebook me on their own metal or partners unless there was Business I class availability. I wouldn’t have minded taking a flight later in the week. The agent and her supervisor were both super nice though and told me to just call back if I found I class availability. I kept track on United and spotted availability open up for Jul 4. This morning I got rebooked onto AI J DEL HND connecting onto NH J HND SFO.

As a bonus I get to fly AI’s new 787-8 and spend a day layover in Tokyo which I’m pumped for, and also avoid the horrible 20 hour journey on the old AI plane.

Has anyone had success with any ASC walk ins in the Bay Area? We have a pending emergency advance parole request that can't be approved without biometrics. We just got scheduled for biometrics on June 1 in Oakland but hoping to try walking in on Monday so wondering if anyone has had any experience with that (or know someone who did) and has any tips. Thanks!
