It's far higher than SF at least, in fact I'd say it's higher than most US cities. Plus the traffic is less of an issue with the light-rail expansion (assuming you live close enough to light rail). But still far lower than mo

Your geographic knowledge is poor, and you should feel bad. There are a bunch of European countries now blocked that aren't in the EU. (Some of the more famous blocked websites are similarly misinformed, e.g. the chicago tribune tries

What you have described is _exactly_ how regulation works. It's still a hundred times better than what most countries in the world produce, since it's designed around the average human and not a megaco.

So much this. So many people conflate citizenship and residency, and it leads to no end of confusion. GDPR applies to EU residents, accessing services from the EU, and some more edge cases. But not to EU citizens. (There are countries with

No. They. Aren't. EU regulations only affect EU carriers, or flights departing the EU. (And also Switzerland, possibly Norway.) Not applicable here. And if they had to pay that compensation (as explained they don't in this case),

No they aren't. You can choose to buy refundable business fares, much as you can buy refundable economy fares. But the default is non-refundable tickets with hundreds of dollars high change fees. Some business travellers do buy mostly

I'm just pointing out that disruptions are nothing unexpected if you travel often - you can't really expect extraordinary treatment. (Sure, in the EU at least you get food and lodging by law - but lounge access is a completely dif

It's worth noting that most airlines can view most tickets given the name and ticket number (you can use the saudia website to view the gory details of tickets issued by most TAs and airlines yourself if you wish). Whether or not they

There is no early morning flight from SFO to LHR. In fact there are no morning flights (on United) from SFO to LHR. It just doesn't make any sense in terms of timings. And random flight cancellations happen on any airline (and rebookin
