    Maybe they have improved. Mine is a 2019 model. But it is a bitter experience. In contrast the LG C8 is just blazing through without any lags even now (2018 model). No issues, just pure simple stuff that works. 
    Had to pony up money and buy a soundbar for Sony. Whereas the sound from LG is good enough for casual listening, clear dialogues, decent bass. 

    I have a 2019 model as well my parents use it extensively for streaming and I use it from time to time. No complaints honestly with regards to the software. Sound is obviously a big con.

    The top view maybe but it is definitely worth the visit for the entire thing. The fountain show is excellent, better than I hoped. They have amazing sound effect, like a ferrari passing through when they burst. Fountain show + Dubai Mall + Burj top view. It is good to reserve a day for these activities. 

     

    Dubai mall is so big that you are sure to get lost in it. It has all the major food joints from around the world. So  Al Baik and Texas Chicken!!!!!

    Yeah, even if you don't go to the top, Dubai Mall and Fountain Show are definitely worth a visit.

    Agreed. I meant going to the top is a little overhyped, specially during season time the lines are crazy long. The Mall and Fountain Show is pretty good. In fact I remember there was a restaurant which had a balcony view of the fountains and I enjoyed some amazing food while watching the fountain show. Top notch experience.

    Planning for a Dubai trip around November end, this is going to be my first international trip and so I have no idea where to begin.
    Will appreciate help with regards to where should 1 stay, where can I know about the medical rules and all, an itinerary, etc.

    Thanks in advance

    I have stayed at Rove Hotels in Dubai and they are pretty good at very reasonable prices. I loved the vibe and the food. This was in 2019 so I don't know how things are now. Go to the Global Village for sure and also do the desert safari followed by a nice Arabian dinner.  Global village tickets can be purchased online and Desert Safari and other activities are easily available via multiple tour operators or you can pre book them online on tripadvisor or viator. Other than this there are some crazy amusement parks and huge malls. Burj Khalifa is overhyped in my opinion. Rest you can checkout some travel vlogs or articles online.

    Airpods 2 for ~7k 

    or

    Samsung Buds 2 pro for ~6k

     

    I'll be using it with an iPhone, mainly for music and taking calls during commute. 

    Samsung Buds 2 Pro as you would need ANC during commute for music. Airpods 2 unfortunately do not have ANC. However, I am not sure how the mic is on the Samsung buds for calls.

    What all the cards accepted on Encalm lounge International T3 terminal in Delhi? 

     

    I have Regalia Credit, Millenia and Coral Debit. Scapia. Am I good? asking for two person, me and my wife.

    This list should help but considering that they haven't made any changes recently - https://www.hdfcbank.com/content/bbp/repositories/723fb80a-2dde-42a3-9793-7ae1be57c87f/?path=/Personal/Pay/Cards/Credit Card/Credit Card Landing Page/Credit Cards/DomLounge-List.pdf

    Early reports from journalists who received the code suggest that Spider-Man 2 will take only about 15 hours to complete and around 20 hours to Platinum. 
     

    Overall, it’s safe to say it’s a rather short game. 

    Similar to part one. I think if this is true then they must have planned DLC as the map is bigger and they can do so much with so many new villains and with two Spider-Man this time.

    I start my first job on Monday. I will make north of 1L>month - sharing this info for credit card eligibility. 

     

    My primary account is HDFC, my whole family has accounts there. I have FDs with them, and a Regalia card that is linked to my dad's. 

    I have gotten that closed now, wish to get an independent Regalia. However, there are types - what is Regalia Gold and Regalia first and Regalia business. 

    which one do I get? 

     

    Any other cards I can/should get? My parents primarily spend and accumulate points via Axis Vistara Signature card. I wish to get a card that lets me accumulate points for international travel, we have enough domestic flights with Vistara already. 

     

    My primary expenditures - Travel, Eating out, online shopping, fuel? 

    I do not have to pay rent, or utilities as I will continue to live with my family.  Thank you in advance. 

    If you have a good relation with HDFC and specially if you have decent amount in FDs you can meet your RM/Branch Manager and push for Infinia or DCB. I am not sure if it will work but worth a try. 

     

    Regalia First is below Regalia and Regalia Gold so don't go for Regalia First. But for Regalia vs Regalia Gold this summarizes the features and differences well, you can take a call: https://cardinsider.com/blog/why-should-you-upgrade-to-hdfc-regalia-gold-from-hdfc-regalia/

    What's up with HDFC bank Diners club privilege credit card? Is it better than Regalia? 

     

    I got a message that I can apply for this but don't if it will be LTF and how is it any better. 

    Dinners acceptability is horrible. Keep the Regalia. If it was the Dinners Club Black you could have still considered it.

    Lmao.

     

    Dude it won’t have that “Must Play” tag or win GOTY awards no matter how loud you scream.


     

    Similarly it won’t be categorised like the rest of the Bethesda/Xbox failures of the past no matter how much haters scream,coz it’s a well polished,well designed & deep fun game.

     

    Which I just said in my last post & don’t really know why you are jumping on me for saying that.

     

    Enjoy the game & don’t disrupt this thread no longer.

    It is what it is.

     

    I don't know about GOTY man but it definitely looks like a must play. I have never bothered with the Xbox but going to borrow my friends just for this game once he is done.

    Want to see how they'll spin it into being something they did on their own accord lol

    Haha… it would be best to just announce it and joke about it. It’ll feel so stupid if they market it. But maybe they are adding an apple touch to it with a titanium metal usb c plug available in different colors and not available in the box :P

    I am not denying that the past experiences have a role to play for someone like an Air hostess but what I was saying is that don't discount western people to be racist towards brown/black people regardless of whether they experienced anything at a personal level or not. There is an air of superiority which I see many of them having based on my day-to-day experience.

    I never did ? I mentioned multiple times that it is wrong and that there are many people who are just down right racist and horrible. But since this is a travel thread and we were discussing airlines in particular that is why I brought that example up.
