There are very few airports where this is the case. FRA is one of the only airports with the setup you’re describing.

That’s United’s extra leg room product which is distinct from their premium economy product. That product is only available on long haul flights.

It’s dead in the US but quite alive in other markets, especially Asia and the Middle East. Some airlines even have four class planes with the rise of premium economy.

Both IAH and MIA allow this sort of transit on international-to-international connections, but only if flying United (through IAH) or American (through MIA). Bags don't have to be collected but passengers still have to clear immigrati

A few more recent airports have been built to make this change possible should policy ever shift. IAH was specifically designed to allow future sterile transits without major construction.

The price per unit may be higher but for someone with limited cash and no credit, that may still be a better option.

Even if the GDPR applied in this situation, Slack is trying to obey US sanctions. I’d wager a guess GDPR can’t force a company to violate those laws.

Because this isn’t about content, it’s about OFAC designations. That’s the office in the US Treasury department that says who Americans can’t do business with. They’re the ones that enforce sanctions and Iran is on their list. Penalties for

I started taking Lexapro a few days ago and my psychiatrist recommended I also try a CBD vape pen to go along with it, but also mentioned to be careful about sourcing as lots of CBD sources are snake oil.

First class on domestic US flights goes for a much smaller premium than in years past. My usual domestic route is DEN-SFO and first class is usually twice the price of economy—or less. Far smaller difference than it used to be. AA was sel

That's just not true. Go through the purchase flow for a United flight on Orbitz. Taxes are included and the checked-bag fees are prominently disclosed.

You're never going to get a perfect guarantee. The airlines have to have the ability to swap aircraft at the last minute and that may mean delivering different pitch than originally shown. Do passengers want the extra inch or do they

What transparency is missing? All the airlines disclose their seating configurations. There's SeatGuru. Google Flights even shows the pitch right in the search results.

Grand Tetons National Park was created by the Rockefeller family secretly buying all the land to set it aside for conservation. I’m fine with that.

It exists. Conversion rates on sites that use 3D-Secure in the US went through the floor, which is why merchants focusing on that market have largely abandoned it.

I don't believe Scribe and Kafka are equivalent. Isn't Scribe at-most-once? Unless we're talking about two different projects named Scribe, which is certainly possible.

We're energy independent in the 1970's sense, which is when the term originated. We are no longer subject to the sort of oil embargo OPEC initiated in 1973 over Western nations' support of Israel, because the West now has su

There is a market when you factor in connecting flights. If, say, Delta wants to pay for better staffing at their international hubs they could market that to prospective customers in their non-hub markets. "Fly home from Europe throu

Stamps are going away. Lots of countries no longer stamp passports, at least in some situations. Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Korea. The US will generally not stamp their own passports. Frankly, I'm fine with it

I don't believe Vanguard trades for its own account. Given their structure, I'm not sure how they could trade on their own account. IANAL, but they're a registered investment advisor and that status requires them to act as
