    Thanks Diane! That was a great video, I learned a lot. I agree with your assessment – worth paying a bit more, especially on a long flight. Definately could not afford paying full price though, and probably wouldn't even if I could.

    The tornado shelter sign is perhaps a bit odd to strangers, but that is definitely a thing in the Midwest, USA. It's called Tornado Alley for a reason, and is (I believe) the single hottest spot in the world for tornados. Just about everywhere from San Antonio to North Dakota to Toronto (and everything in between, including Chicago) is vulnerable to tornados in summer. Chicagoland in particular has had a relatively calm couple of decades on the tornado front, but plenty of other places like Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee etc have had a lot of tornados in the last couple decades. I believe that on the order of a few dozen people are killed every year by twisters? I'm not sure one has ever struck O'Hare but that's why that sign was there. (Another thing that's odd about the midwest is the monthly test of tornado sirens. Those weird out exchange students the first time they hear that lol)

    Diane just said that she didn't know that there are 7/11 stores outside of the United States.

    7/11 is now and has for some time been a Japanese company. Yes, it was originally U.S. based, but… Things…

    The presenter for Japan Eats YouTube channel often goes to 7/11 and/or Lawson, which is another formerly American convenience store.

    Thanks for sharing Diane! I have tremors also. Seem to come from meds I have to take. I take another med that helps the tremors a lot. Probably can't post the name, but it was developed for BP and anxiety. Really hope your doctor can help you!

    Great video may be the only time I ever see business class. But when I retire, I could use your tip about looking for deals and enjoying a trip to a random destination.

    I am also a picky eater and hate To eat airplane food. They always put some weird sauce or mixed vegetables in with your food like they just give you a piece of chicken with some side vegetables or something. Never understand that😅

    Diane, I have an Irish joke for you. A new species of worm was found. But there was only one. They couldn’t find anymore. So since they only had one, scientists called it a rarery because it was so rare. They noticed that every time they fed it, it doubled in size. Soon it became as big as a football pitch. So scientists decided to push this creature into a deep canyon so it wouldn’t cause any damage. They bring the creature to the edge of the canyon and start to push it over and tip it into the deep canyon. And let me tell you, it’s a long way to tip a rarey!

    Everyone should get a credit card with cash back rewards if they can. Building credit rating is nice, but it's more than that. On a debit transaction you are literally paying slightly more for everything you buy compared to CC users. Cash back is effectively a 1 or 2% discount on everything. Visa and Mastercard charge businesses to handle transactions, including those on debit cards. The vendors then pass on that cost. Effectively, vendors charge everyone extra, Visa and Mastercard skim a bit off the top, then turn around and give debit users' money to credit card users. Their game is to entice customers who (they hope) will carry a balance and pay interest.

    Get a credit card, pay it off every month, pocket the cash back.

    If you are defrauded or dispute a charge, your money stays in your bank account while the dispute gets sorted. Added benefit: the CC company is fighting to get their own money back and will work harder for it. Once a debit transaction is out of your bank account, it's harder to get back. This is one of those things that is unlikely to happen to you, but if it does you will be seriously fucked.

    Pro tip: Because the CCs want customers who will cary a balance and pay interest, they are especially looking for new accounts just before Christmas (starts around October). They will relax their criteria for granting credit. It's cynical, but they know that people who are not used to having credit will often overspend with "free" money, then get hit with interest when they take months to pay down the balance. Banks get so much profit this way that they can entice people to join by literally giving you $100-250 after having the account active for 90 days. (It's 90 days because they don't want you getting the sign-on bonus, spending it on Christmas and immediately closing the account.)

    So get a credit card. Get it when banks are offering free money along with relaxed acceptance criteria. Then simply use it as you would a debit card. Never spend more money than you have. Pay off the balance at least once per month. Reap rewards.

    funny, I found it the other way. flying west to east, we got on the plane, flew for 10 hours, and it was the next morning. flying east to west, we got on the plane, flew for 10 hours, and it was still the same day.
