Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

I don't know exact time. but very close.
Even if you don't cancel, you can easily get the refund online, just click redepsoit miles. Sometimes it will require to chat with an agent, in those cases it can take a while to get the miles back.

Why can't you search when one of the "words" is only one letter? (Example: windows s mode)

You need some posts (IDK how many) to expand your in box beyond 1.  So delete each message after you read it.  (You may want to save the sender's name.)

What is the best way to search to find cheap tickets from EWR to anywhere in the US? A relative wants to take their kids on a flight for a Chol Hamoed trip. To anywhere.

Oh ok thanks for the info.

Very strange - did not find anything on the help or search function indicating the number of posts needed. Does anyone have any idea on the number of posts required? Do not want to go on a massive pointless messaging spree

Thanks

I would assume you can use the wiki from this thread.
