Goods For Sale/Trade / Re: Israeli SIM cards available for short term rental

« on: January 02, 2019, 10:23:57 AM »

If you don't need the sim when you arrive and can wait till you get in to yerushalayim then there is a table in shefa on the 2nd floor where its very good prices. It includes unlimited calls and 20 gigs of data for 39 shekel . That's a lot cheaper then global 012.
I spoke to the guy last week and tried convincing him to have someone here in the states be able to give you a similar b4 you leave

I was not feeling well and had to get up a few times. He said "this guy has ants in his pants"
I think it was uncalled for and it is not something to say about a customer. Especially a paying (not a mileage ticket) customer in business class.
I think I'm going to write back that in order to keep me from going on social media I expect a full ticket for travel .

Up In The Air / Steward made a nasty comment thinking I was out of earshot

« on: October 07, 2017, 02:57:50 PM »

I had a situation on united flight to tlv where a steward made a nasty comment to another stewardess about me.  I told him that I heard what he said and he did not even appologize.
I wrote united that i decided to give them a chance to respond before going to social media. (I gave them alk the details and even said that i can send them a picture of the guy if they want) the response from united was they put 10,000 bonus miles in my acct.
Any one have any experience with this kind of experience. I wad expecting more then that.
