yeah I get that, but that's like saying "lol at paying for a hotel on NYE, when you can book January 4th for half the price, suckers!"

I don't think that analogy works for a couple reasons, but regardless I think we can all agree that the headline here is DL touting 700k pesos as a D1 "deal"

YMMV. I find it much easier to create a PDF which I can rename and easily put in a certain folder than creating a screen shot from a phone and trying to find it later. Paper boarding passes and PDFs for me.

On the A359 fleet the registrations go N501DN - N516DN (except N513DZ), but the next A359 is N517DZ, while N517DN is used for an A321neo instead

I mean it does underscore the subjectivity of valuation...

My contribution - the trail mix dispenser at the Sky Club bar sometimes has way too many raisins in it, and the nut-to-raisin ratio is out of whack. Are we barbarians here?

I'm sure that bright blue and purple lights are considered super cool-looking and on-brand but they are exactly the wrong color for the start of a redeye where everyone just wants to sleep.

(In fairness I must therefore compliment the crew of a FAI-SLC flight with a midnight departure I took some years ago who thoughtfully kept the cabin a soft orange until they could turn the lights all the way off after takeoff, when we had finally flown far enough south for the sun to set.)

Not to worry, one day they will drop and your life will forever change.

I’m sitting half-way back in the plane in C+ on a window seat waiting to deplane... Passenger sitting on the aisle next to me has every opportunity while F & PS are deplaning to get their things out of the overhead. Instead, waits until it is our row’s turn to deplane before searching through several overheads to find all of their things, holding up the rest of the plane.

yea, I love to fetch my luggage as soon as the F section starts deplaning, that prevents anybody behind me with no luggage jumping in front to catch a close connection

also being of weak stature I often lose control of my overhead luggage and once free it is going to hit the floor or the guys head in front of me
