@Karlson I don't have the rep. But I agree vwp makes sense as a synonym. It's strictly a US thing and you are the US gold tag person, so go with it.

This is bounty worthy travel.stackexchange.com/a/83556/4188

I will put a bounty on it when I can

Who the hell would've thought the answer is no??

and who has the expertise to suspect / know this and properly source this

absolutely bounty worthy

y'all just showered a ton of reps on me, i can spare a hundred to reward this

We've had a good number of questions about using credit cards to buy tickets for other people. A number of airlines have rules like that, especially that apply to certain countries

it's a good answer I agree

Does anybody of the advanced trusted class have the link to the web stats? I know it's poop, but I wanted to look at Thursdays vis-a-vis the other days. But it's so poopy that I never stored the link. Who be da MAN and giz the link???

@chx good show! I wish we could do the bounty bonanza again. It was the most true fun I've had in TSE

we could do it again

we just need good questions because the old questions are gone :)

@chx yeah, thinking up the questions was a delight

==> Hurray for Thursday! All sincere answers to new questions get upvoted. Recover your bounty losses or get to that new priv level. Go for it!

@GayotFow I did not understand. Could you please clarify?

Sorry I was away from the chat for too long. :)

@JoErNanO You were gone so I asked it in META :(

@GayotFow What's your take on this: travel.stackexchange.com/review/low-quality-posts/64021 ?

@GayotFow Good answer by @pnuts. Did you ask the Travel question in the end?

@Fiksdal Split it into continents like Pangea intended it.

@JoErNanO I gave it a +1, but your challenge to the figures is absolutely spot on. Those kind of numbers are not even in the course I took. Pulled from thin air. Please persist your challenge, but upvote also.

It looks like original content i.e. google search returns no duplicates.

@chx Interestingly, we have had at least two very popular questions about this. And every time, we got two things: (1) evidence that you can be denied boarding because you are unable to present the credit card used to buy the ticket and (2) people who just could not accept that fact, no matter how strong that evidence was (namely first-hand accounts and excerpts from the airlines T&C spelling this out explicitly)

@JoErNanO I didn't ask it, I just told the client @MarkMayo's comment. And we researched it and found a double bed with silk sheets

@GayotFow For you two? How nice. :P

All jokes aside I find it an interesting Travel.SE question. You should ask it.

@JoErNanO No, sadly I'm just an onlooker

@JoErNanO I think I'll put it in there off the back of your suggestion. Yeah, I can do that.

==> I have a pilot heading to turks and caicos the week before Christmas and I'm looking to hitch a ride.

If I can get a ride back stateside I will go!

Stateside to London is piss easy :)

:)

@JoErNanO do you have the link to those silly site stats?

Bounty!

@GayotFow Which site stats?

travel.stackexchange.com/site-analytics

?

@JoErNanO Thanks, yes, what I was looking for. Silly priv no? You can see that sine wave anywhere.

but the bounce rate is appalling

@GayotFow Careful thought. The T&S specifically say we should not disclose the data.

@JoErNanO what data?

Oh, sorry, those are UKVI stats, GUV.UK is public domain

I am out of votes, did everybody get their up vote???

@GayotFow How can you have voted 42 times this month? There is a 40 votes daily limit and the month is only on its first day.

@Willeke There is a way to have more votes. I forget how though.

I am still not getting the full 40 all the time, 39 or 40 all last week.

I do not remember even one day I got more than 40.

@Willeke You have to vote like an unbridled mad man to get 40 per day. I got 42 because I used 2 delete votes in the LQP queue

Delete votes are not counted on that list, I mostly have a few of those besides my 'less than 40'

38 votes today.
