All these cancelled flights and delays. The BF is off on a 3 day trip starting today. I hope there are no hiccups as we leave on Monday morning for Cancun, flying standby. I keep checking the loads and there are 40+ open seats. We should be okay. Most people don't book last minute "international" on Spirit, LOL. I'm REALLY stressing over packing only a carry on, LOL. He can take all our liquids to Mexico, but on the way back he can't unless he's in uniform (which he won't do). So I'm stressing over how much sunscreen is enough, but not too much, etc. I could check a bag for free but I know he hates dealing w/ baggage claim, LOL. Plus I get the carry-plus personal item. I'm thinking of using my smaller Vera Bradley weekender bag as my personal item instead of my backpack. I can put way more into it. We'll see as I start packing.
Right now I also have a Delta ticket to Cancun on hold AND a ticket on AA to NC, LOL. I can cancel the NC hotel and flight on Monday once we're in Mexico. The Delta ticket I can cancel Monday morning before we board. Part of me is almost hoping both offered something to give up my seat, but I know I have to be at the gate, LOL.
Credit card question....IHG Traveler. I got the card in Jan 2021. I met the SUB and rarely spend on it. I churned the IHG premeir in Aug 2021. I think the new rules state you can't get a SUB for the IHG personal cards now if you hold another IHG personal card.
"This product is available to you if you do not have a current IHG® Rewards Credit Card and have not received a new Cardmember bonus within the last 24 months. This does not apply to Business Card Credit Card products." Is there any reason to keep the Traveler card? If I'm reading this right, if I want to churn the Traveler card I'd need to cancel my Premier. And vice versa. So I can churn both next year. I have the IHG biz card too. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about all of this, LOL. I'm thinking to not piss off Chase I'd need to cancel the IHG Traveler and Premier once I'm able to churn the Traveler. But I'd likely need to keep the Traveler open a year before I closed it. Which means perhaps Feb 2023 close both, and get the Traveler again. Then close the Traveler in 2024 and do the Premier again? The Biz and Premier both have the FNC, so it kinda sucks I lose out on one of the FNC in 2023, LOL.
Your DS sounds like me-if I'm not 3 hours early, I feel like I'm late
. Let's just say I'm glad I have access to skyclub
Normally I like to roll up the the airport 1 hour before boarding. With TSA precheck it's never really an issue. In NC I roll the dice even more and get there like 30 min before boarding as the same people is the gate agent, baggage, etc, LOL. The PP lounge in DTW sucks! So no fun getting there early. Now when I'm with the BF and he's flying the trip, we have to get there whenever his report time is, and he likes to pad the time to allow for the shuttle being delayed. If we're listing for a flight he likes to be there early too to try and smooze the gate agents if needed. And if I'm on a work trip w/ him (away) I'm at the mercy of when the shuttle/driver gets them. Which is fun when they show up as boarding is beginning at LAX, LOL. Thank god for precheck!
