Yeah, true, wi-fi is no big deal anymore, but it used to be, and it was also nice that I could just open my computer and go. No signing in to different 3rd party wi-fi sites in every airport.Quote:

It turns off all wireless communications capabilities such as bluetooth, WiFi and cellular.Quote:

Dont care much for US lounges as they do not seem to have the same level of quality as overseas (just like the flights).
I do not think anyone really needs first class unless they are a celebrity and really need the total privacy. Business was comfortable enough that I slept almost all the way back from Japan. I did take my own pillow which I do most anywhere.
Today I am not comfortable making concrete travel arrangements due to the constant shifting sands of Covid. Not sure if we will travel overseas until 2023, if then.
seatguru.com gives really good info on the airline seats with comfort levels and arrangements. Also says which ones are bad and which are the best.
The best flight I've ever had was in business class on Japan's airline, ANA, from JFK to Tokyo. My pictures didn't capture the look of the seats, so here is an article that pretty much shows where I spent half a day in luxury up in the air. https://www.godsavethepoints.com/rev...00er-the-room/Quote:

I agree, sweetana, many of the non-US airlines are far superior when it comes to business class.

That could be a very useful tool for me if I ever fly long-distance again.Quote:

I just don’t believe that people buy those giant bags of grapes.
Please explain this to me. Why does my city say if you don't wear a mask in a municipal building you will be fined $300 but when I report two city employees in city hall not wearing masks they are not fined but just spoken to? Why does a poor person living in public housing where masks are mandated in hallways and other common areas have to pay a fine but the city employees who are the highest paid residents in the city not have to pay?
And why do police reform efforts not tackle cops fixing tickets for themselves and their friends?
Why do governors order mask mandates including outdoors in the woods walking by yourself yet indoors at news conferences take off their own masks so they will look good on TV?
Why are the people who govern us so pathetic?
