A lot of banks seem to be doing this, citibank also has. I am guessing it's because credit card balances are historically high, and this will make them a lot of money as interest rates (and profits) go down.

The operating margin (the only thing that actually matters) is down since the introduction of classic plus, if I were a major shareholder or a board member, I would be asking some serious questions. The rising liabilities of the program (ie. consistently more points earned than spent by far) is...

Now I'm glad I didn't do the status match thing with Etihad, what stupidity.

In the Netherlands charging points are almost everywhere (almost every public parking space), so it's not hard to find one. However I don't know if there is one system that you can use to charge at any one of them - worthwhile doing a little bit of research on that.

I've never been to Bali, but isn't the whole point that it's a cheap summery-weather resort? If they make it expensive, what is the point to go there? I can just go to the local beach here...

It depends on what equipment they use, if it's the best equipment you can leave everything in. What I really hate is sometimes they do say "dont take anything out" but it gets flagged anyway, I don't know if they set the scan settings to too aggressive or it's untrained staff not being able to...

This is a matter to the Singaporean government to deal with, and deal with it they should. Other airlines (like Qatar) clearly don't care.

No airline should arbitrarily compromise business class service because of this outrageous caution, if they do, they will lose business period. I once again, hope that SQ realises this in time.

I thought this madness stopped, the last time I flew SQ it was back to normal (after the turbulence incident). If SQ keeps this nonsense up, they will simply be rated down and people will not give them repeat business.

I think automating ATC would be very easy, but the problem is what happens if there is any failure at all, how do you provide a safe backup? So we're back to a fully staffed human ATC, thus there's not really any point in automating it. What may happen is that an AI will look over all...

While I sympasise with train workers and wanting to get a fair wage, they are asking for simply too much, ultimately a lot of them will get automated away anyway, we should expedite that.

Anything good to Europe in J? Also does anyone know why in google flights it always says "price unavailable" for Singapore Airlines nowdays?

Nope! The same cough I had in Sydney last night 🤣 This is such a very obvious area of improvement, they need to get a move on.

Ah yep, the aircraft had starlink so I just connected to the wifi, no probs. Had about 120mb/s (down south) with 32ms ping, amazing.

Hi I see ads/notices to pre-purchase the wifi and save 20% (and in any case I think it's not a bad idea rather than hassle of having to buy it onboard). However not on their website nor in the app is there any way to do it, in the add on services there is only eSIM. Does anyone know how to do...

I'm just at the new/renovated Adelaide lounge, it looks absolutely insane, I don't think I've ever in my life seen a lounge this beautifully designed and outfitted, it looks absolutely spectacular. Which is also why it's comical how poor the food is given how nice the lounge looks, heh.

I received another email today, it said between 17th of June and 11th July (the first time I saw any reference to dates), and still the price to EU return is over 10k, absolute rubbish, not a sale at all. Also, it's a very short time-frame for the sale, 3 weeks essentially?

Anything good? I was looking June - August, can't find any J QR availability at all for reward (but often saw some SQ) to Europe, and for cashies, nowhere does it give airports and dates and indicative prices, very annoying. I haven't searched much but couldn't find anything good. Kind of an...

Both the finals were great, Sinner is just not another level for now, however the match was actually closer than the scoreline might indicate. I really enjoyed the AO, a very good experience, highly recommend !

I can definitely taste it, and could probably pick the region, if I've been drinking a lot of wine in the last month 🤣 otherwise maybe not, but for sure I think you can definitely tell that they taste quite different regardless.
