Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Because software engineers here in Seattle can make a whole lot more elsewhere. HAL has/had a job opening for a web developer that pays $130,000. Plenty of companies in Seattle pay twice that, probably with better benefits.
  2. I wouldn't touch Expedia with a 10-foot pole – I always book direct. For my Delta flight I used SkyMiles (refundable). For Alaska and American I'm redeeming Chase Ultimate Rewards for refundable flights. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of flying to get from Seattle to Guayaquil, so lots of 737s on long routes.
  3. Thanks klfrodo. I reached out to Steve the other day and will give them a call to get this all lined up. I'll just be happy to go on the trip, since I originally booked it in 2019!
  4. Thank you for the response, fellow Washingtonian! I guess my question is, is there a point in getting refundable airfare rather than saving a little and getting a non-refundable fare and have the travel insurance cover any mishaps (missed flights/bags, health issues, quarantine, etc.) The Lindblad insurance is horrible. The cancel for any reason just gives you more FCC (mine is from 2020) and the medical part is not sufficient for the destination. Thanks!
  5. Hi all, I am going on a very delayed cruise to the Galapagos with Lindblad next summer. While I will be insuring the cruise itself, I'm unclear about whether or not I need to also insure the refundable airline tickets that I will be buying. Part of me says no, there's no need, while the other part says that I might need some protection if the flights go south. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Jeff
