@SingaporeAir I’ve already contacted the agent OOJO and they are refusing to take responsibility despite my reaching out 90 minutes before departure. DOT complaint filed.

@SingaporeAir I need help with a ticket issue EWR→BKK.

I called the agency 90 mins before departure to request a same-airline change—they told me the request was submitted and I wouldn’t be a no-show. Now I can't rebook or get a refund.

@SingaporeAir I booked through online travel agent. 90 mins before departure I requested a change. They confirmed they had submitted the request to you.

Hours later they say you say I was a no show so can't help.

Both sides point to each other, and I’m stuck with the full loss.

Used eBay for first time in a decade - terrible experience! UI from the 90s and not user friendly. Canceled one account after bidding and had big problems checking out. PayPal cancels my account after making the big purchase. Amazing the company survives!

Jean Liu/Didi is really masterful at PR https://t.co/JNIznIhrUu Big challenges to overcome though, most drivers + customers only use Didi due to lack of choice, Meituan is about to change that. Huge war coming!

What does it say about me that I get the captcha's wrong about half the time on a certain website? AI has already surpassed this pea brain?

Anyone else noticing that big Chinese websites (Baidu, Taobao, etc) don't load when connected to a VPN? Having problems even when using an HK server.
