Up In The Air / Re: Is it safe flying with Turkish Air

Never been to LHR. Is it really worse than Turkey? In IST you can easily need to walk 25 minutes. They put the TLV flight at the farthest gate. Literally the last gate.

PE much worse, i flew from BUD-LHR-JFK on BA in F, had a 4.5h layover, we landed early and finally got to the 1st class lounge 20min before departure (we had massages reserved but never made it there) worst airport experience ever and thats with flying 1st.

The most i had to walk was about 20min in IST which i think is not that bad (and if your running late they will escort you through security and get you to the gate)

So they allowed an AA codeshare (on LY?) or was it IB from TLV connecting to AA?

Correct IB connecting to AA

I did not find any dates that I can use to TLV, so started looking for domestic on AA, can't blame Iberia they gave a deadline, my fault.

Did AA start flying TLV-PHL and vise versa again?

It was tlv-bcn-phl iirc

#fakenews. LHR is the most dangerous airport in the world. Your knees are likely to disintegrate from the walking. Last time I was there, my Fitbit screamed out, "are you kidding me?"

Lol!!

Credit Cards / Re: NEW Chase Ink Business Preferred in 2017

« on: February 08, 2019, 12:55:34 AM »

I'm well over 5/24, but I recently created a legit LLC and opened a Chase biz checking account. I now received 2 targeted mailers, one for Ink Preferred offering 80k for $5k spend and one for Ink Unlimited for $500 cash back after $3k spend, with unique invitation numbers.

Will these get me around 5/24, or am I just wasting my time and credit pull? If they will, is there any risk to apply for both on the same day, or better to spread them out?

IME they will not approve you the mailer's dont really mean much
