In my experience, which isn’t exactly extensive, many airlines upgrade Economy passengers into whatever version of Economy Plus seats that are unsold, then put the Basic Economy passengers into those Economy seats. Some airlines will ask the passengers before they upgrade them, giving them a chance to stay next to…

Correct, I was being specific, using my experiences. I’m glad to know ahead of time that there are airlines that have more restrictive rules, so I can plan should it come up. Thanks!

I completely agree with you! Unfortunately, the wording Delta (the carrier I’m most familiar with) uses allows for the possibility of someone having an oxygen concentrator for use, so long as they don’t use it during the flight:

Unless an exit row isn’t a bulkhead. You can still put things under the seat in front of an exit row, it just has to be ALL THE WAY under that seat, leaving the walkway from aisle to exit clear in case of emergency need.

Not necessarily - Chromecast has a “guest mode” that is supposed to allow people near it to detect it and cast to it without being on the same WiFi network. In practice, I can’t get it to work when I’m using my iPhone. I just tested it, verifying the settings are configured as instructions indicate necessary. I think…

In fairness, Mesa and PSA shouldn’t actually get any of the blame, when you look at how regional airlines work. The mainline (Delta, American, United, Alaska) partners sell the tickets, and it is those partners who determine how many tickets they will sell. Mesa and PSA don’t tell American “You know, you should…

I have both, and mostly agree with jsimon - Roku is my preference in almost every way, for regular personal use. The most common reason for me to prefer the way a Chromecast works is when someone wants to show something from a service the device-owner doesn’t have personal access to.

Depends on several things. If you’re in the row in front of an exit, or the last row of seats, often the seats won’t recline.

Yup! Typically this happens on flights operated by a regional airline partner. If your flight is on an aircraft with screens available for individual viewing, my experience with Delta flights is that the inflight entertainment is only available via the built-in screens provided, and not over your personal device via…

Personally, I call BS on the whole “faster switching between devices” selling point. I bought some Powerbeats Pro, my brother has AirPods, and we’ve discussed our experiences. He and I both have MacBook Pro computers and iPhones. We also both have to manually go and tell whichever device we want to use to connect to…

Is the best approach to check in with the gate crew when I’m waiting to board, or would they even know?

Mostly just curious if I missed something here...

Having worked in an old school joint such as described (pizza), as a driver, I have a few things to say on the topic.

I’m only doing this because I don’t want to get out of my sweatpants and my 72-degree apartment.

Come now, captioning the “Warhammer 4oK” the way you did is akin to having just put “Star Wars” instead of “Ahsoka Tano”. They be Space Wolves, and deserve their honours!

As someone who has NEVER felt any kind of passion for a job, or even much for a field of work, I’m always had to develop anything I’ve done. Musical instruments - I could never get sight-reading down, nor was I fast at reading music in general, so I learned to memorize the pieces we’d play in band (HS), and used the…

The Way of Kings, Stormlight book 1, by Brandon Sanderson was two credits when it launched. It’s a massive book, so I can understand why they’d want to charge more for it, and others like it. Seems that user feedback, either in words or actions, swayed them to abandon that.

A flock as small as 20 chickens can completely annihilate a grassy area the size of a 1/4 acre in roughly two weeks. After a month, there’s nothing but dirt.

Okay, here’s my most disliked part of Infinity War: Gamora. Hear me out:

This is exactly what I was coming into the comments to find. (And, if it wasn’t here, I would add it.) If Alien had kids, they cold conceivably watch PG-13 movies without a parent, or even R if it started early. They could be trolling this very comment page!
