I was more aghast that you let him stay on your balcony 😝

You a scroogy now? There's still airlines that you get status by miles flown and not by spend amount , lol

Not if the "cave" is actually tight.... so they say.

Sounds like something @Olddaddy would write.

Let us know if they ask/insist on your Yellow Fever vaccine cert.

Is that why @Olddaddy was on your balcony sleeping and not inside?

I've been fortunate with award seats, but I'm extremely flexible and bese some of my trips on the airlines availability. Going back at the end of this trip, I bought flying FROM Jakarta roundtrip to Boston coming back in March, ANA/United business class was 2900usd. Coming to this side this time I got Cancun-EWR-Delhi on United Polaris, 88k miles.... originally was on Ethiopia connection form EWR, they did a sched change and I got someone at United to to put me on their nonstop instead at the same miles....he did. However, the 1st girl that answered the phone, I could tell was a bitch with attitude, so I hung up and luckily got the nice guy, I knew as soon as he answered the phone he was a queen and would do it 😝

have you looked at award seats? When airlines do promotions of double miles when purchasing, check out award availability.... might be cheaper, or a credit card that transfers points to an airline?

I'd guess it depends on the hotel, it's no strict like in Colombia or say Vietnam, but I stayed in large western chain hotels and the guys didn't look poor or sketchy 🤷‍♂️ I don't know, I don't like lassi 😝

I’m all for generosity, but paying double when the guy doesn’t even deliver what was agreed isn’t generosity — it’s rewarding bad behavior. And then people wonder why the next one acts the same. Keep tipping double for half the effort — just don’t act surprised when “lazy and disinterested” becomes the new default 🤷‍♂️

He's concerned what his future holds when the bar he opens....closes 😳

There's a difference between frugal and cheap.... No gold faucets in the bathroom then?

@Keithambrose is there something about your trips to Cambodia you've been hiding from me 🧐

Hotel= Delhi More choices in apps= Mumbai Delhi is also close to Agra, went to the Taj Mahal, was worth it.....

I knew this topic would get your attention, lol How many millions of actual miles have you flown with them again...??
