Cons: "Did not make this flight. How can I confirm that my ticket is still valid for the return trip?"
Pros: "Extra leg room, very courteous crew, and pretty decent food. What's not to like? I have had only very good experiences with Qatar so far."
Pros: "Had always liked the airline and on board crew members"
Cons: "Ground crew members in Doha airport need attitude check. been spotting these too often. On Board crew members are much better."
Pros: "Older plane Older entertainment system"
Cons: "Older plane Older entertainment system"
Pros: "The Crew has been excellent"
Cons: "When I arrived at the Airport in Arusha (JRO) my reserved row 23 aisle seats for the DOH to JFK segment were changed to the (last cabin section row 31); also my aisle seat was changed to a middle seat Food was better from JFK to DOH Entertainment was lacking - movie and TV selection was poor for 20+ hours of flight time"
Cons: "carry-on did not fit on center overhead compartment unless I put it side ways (Same carry-on suitcase fit nicely on Emirates airplanes, so the carry-on overhead compartments have been made smaller on Qatar on purpose or by engineering error, and I will not fly Qatar airlines again. Less food options. I went to the Gally and they only had kitkat bars for food. Emirates offer fruit, sandwiches, and many choices at ALL TIMES of the flight for economy class passengers. Entertainment computer (Android based system) ran slow and out of memory at times. Seats were not comfortable for 12hrs flight. My butt was starting to hurt. I did not have this issues on Emirates flights."
Pros: "They do not provide hotel service even in a 11 hour layover saying the ticket is pomotional. If that is the case, why they sell tickets on promotion? Cheap mentality"
Pros: "Need to give people cheap access to wifi"
Pros: "Very comfortable wii sleeping compartment"
Cons: "The planes weren't as comfortable as others I've been on like the double deckers of Emirates. Their economy class was NOTHING special. Everyone talks about how superior Qatar is, but I found nothing special about it...the seats, the food, the entertainment were all basic and nothing fancy. The crew, while very sweet, seemed inexperienced and green to me..but they were lovely and that's all that ultimately matters."
Pros: "Water bottle"
Cons: "There was no snack for the people that don't sleep, it's a long flight, I'd suggest instant noodle cups for those or chips or cookies (I know they hand them out maybe once, but maybe have it near the bathroom, so when people are hungry they don't have to bother the crew)."
Cons: "Nothing disposable about the airline but booling process gave me a headace"
Pros: "Mediocre staff, not very attentive, horrible boarding experience in Doha. Food was inedible, watched a crew member place food she had spilled onto the aisle FLOOR back onto a tray to give to someone as if nothing happened, which prompted me not to anything for an 8 hour trip. DISGUSTING!"
Cons: "I will never purchase a flight with Qatar"
Cons: "I will never ever fly Qatar airlines again. The boarding for this flight in Doha was horrendous. I and a random group of passengers were made to wait with no explanation AFTER our electronics were already cleared to go through yet another security check. They said we were selected for screening but all the other people they took before us were screened the exact same way. It was stressful and traumatizing to stand for 45 minutes with no clear explanation. The crew were clearly new at their job or ill trained. On top of that they consistently ran out of food they were serving and was forced to take the vegetarian option when it's not what I wanted. I could not wait to leave Doha and exit Qatar airways. I hated my experience traveling with Qatar. It was stressful and traumatic. I want a full refund. I will also be advising all my friends to never fly Qatar. It was the WORST!"
Pros: "Considering how long it was, not much could have been better. It wasn't too crowded, so the seat next to me was free, which made getting some sleep easier."
Cons: "They supposed to provide Wheel chair for my elderly mother in Law who had a foot fracture, was very hard /painful to walk. I confirmed the wheelchair option well advance before her travel date in Qatar Airways Web site. I got the confirmation also in the Qatar Airways Web site. I usually fly with my family as I have a big family with couple of children and elderly. I will never fly Qatar again, this was the 1st and the last fly with Qatar airways."
Cons: "price and comfort"
Pros: "The entertainment choices were great."
Cons: "We sat in front of a row of children who kicked the back of my seat for 13 hrs straight. We spoke to a flight attendant about it early on in the flight, spoke to the kids and spoke to the parents. Then spoke to the kids and parents mid flight. And then spoke to them all, including a flight attendant towards the end of the flight. The issue was never resolved. We asked to change our seats but could not. We asked for the parents to trade seats with the kids and they would not. It was the worst, most uncomfortable flight I have ever taken. And I fly regularly for work and for pleasure. It was an absolutely horrible experience. I was actually in tears on the flight because I was so tired, uncomfortable and frustrated."
Cons: "Time of flight"
Cons: "I am hard of hearing. It would be appreciated it you would offer more movies with English subtitles."
Pros: "Great Crew, seat space was great too"
Cons: "The cabin sound proofing can be improved. Especially the clicity clack from passengers eating. The pre boarding space was very limited."
Cons: "They changed my seats twice and it was near the bathrooms and I hated it. They refuse to give me a better place when I requested. I didn't choose the seats they put me in and the crews couldn't handle the other passengers attitued and actions. I asked for a below but they didn't bring it to me."
Pros: "Everything was good."
Cons: "Could have preferred more snacks or fruits which we could pick up while flying."
Cons: "I had chicken three time on the flight. To spicy for my tastes. Even scrambled eggs had a hot sauce on them."
Pros: "Same as my above review."
Cons: "Same as my above review."
Pros: "See above"
Pros: "Fligjt om time. Smooth landimg Friendly environment."
Cons: "Could have provided asian dish from.doha to.newyork.flight"
Pros: "Nice"
Cons: "No facility for baby"
Cons: "Same as previous. Found the"Personal touch" missing from Crew."
Pros: "I liked nothing on this flight!"
Cons: "Very hard to believe that Qatar is described as a "world-class airline". I took a total of 4 flights on Qatar Airways in a 2-week span. First flight was from New York to Doha (not bad). Second flight was from Doha to Nairobi (not bad). Third flight was from Nairobi to Doha (not bad) and the fourth and final flight was from Doha to New York (unbearable!!!) My first issue with the Qatar Airways was a checked parcel not arriving at my destination. When we reached Nairobi, I was told my parcel that I had checked in New York, was still in New York. It was a card board tube of materials required for a work initiative at a Kenyan hospital. Returning to Nairobi airport several days later created a hassle that I won't soon forget! Now to describe the journey back to the United States. The flight from Doha to New York is the flight I want to focus on. The flight was extremely crowded and the conditions were absolutely deplorable! I cannot fathom how a self-proclaimed "world-class airline" could pack a plane that full and compound that with a 14 hour flight! I felt so badly for the airline staff. They were stretched so thin that they couldn't accommodate the passengers. There was garbage all over the plane and the bathrooms were filthy; garbage cans overflowing with waste and dirty diapers. There was an exceptionally high number of infants and children on this flight. I love children. I have 3 children myself. I felt terribly for the children AND adults on this flight because everyone was absolutely miserable. I never thought it could be possible for there to be 14+ hours of crying babies and children. It was absolutely maddening. The airline staff were so busy that they couldn't even assist with the babies and children which I found to be so completely unconventional for any airline, especially one of this alleged caliber. I do feel that there should be a separate section of planes for infants and children so that the crying etc can be confined to one area and passengers aren't exposed to what we were exposed to. The man behind me verbalized what I had been feeling when he stated "If I could, I would jump off of this plane. This is torture". The purpose of my trip was a global health mission to Kenya for a hospital to hospital partnership. Other team members in my group requested an upgrade and offered to pay cash. We were all appalled to be denied. The Qatar Airline staff couldn't process the upgrade and we still can't understand why. Seems a shame for the airline to have lost all that potential profit. For me, this was a return trip (I had been there in March 2015). Last year I flew Swiss Air and Brussels Air where I had much more enjoyable flights without any incidents. I will be notifying all of my friend, relatives, and colleagues of this nightmare experience and will certainly advise them against flying Qatar Airways."
Cons: "Qatar squeezes an extra seat into the 777-300 width in the coach section. Impossible to be comfortable."
Cons: "Every thing was great"
Cons: "Shorten luggage wait time to arrive on the belt."
Pros: "Almost everything"
Cons: "The food choice"
Pros: "Entertainment. Free 2 Hours wifi acccess"
Cons: "Was late to depart. Having to take the bus to the airport terminal."
Cons: "No Bassinet provided. Staff was not friendly One of them was very rude. Food was not good. Couldn't get a vegetarian food"
Cons: "40 minute bus ride after landing. Why are they landing airplanes so far away from the terminal? They own the whole terminal!"
Cons: "I payed for emirates not fly Dubai which was low budget flight. They charged me for a coffee on the plane... not something I would expect after paying 1400 for my tickets. And no where did it say fly Dubai on my tickets, I would have gone with other alternatives if I knew like Turkish. So last time I use kayak and will not be recommending it as well. This a rating for my whole trip to kathmandu not just Dubai to Kathmandu."
Pros: "Emirates staff are polite and respectful"
Cons: "777 for travel from Dubai to Boston is not a comfortable plane"
Pros: "Crew is very friendly, food is good, seating is proper, entertainment and ease of access are well provided."
Pros: "Entertainment system is very good. Crew was marvelous"
Pros: "The excellent service and the very attentive cabin crews."
Cons: "Changing the flight schedule without any concideration!"
Cons: "There was a group of teenagers sitting in 8 seats in two of the middle rows right next to me. They spent the whole flight climbing all over the seats and each other. They were very loud, often banging into other passenger's seats, and leaving their stuff in the aisle where people were tripping over things as they walked by. They were really inconsiderate of other passengers - many of whom were trying to sleep on a 13-hour flight. It would have been nice if the crew would have told them to be quieter and more respectful of other passengers."
Pros: "Every thing , service , taking off and landing ."
Cons: "Nothing , every thing was perfect"
Pros: "The movies on board"
Cons: "On the way from Dubai to Beirut we stayed in the plane 45 m after the boarding time and on the way back around 20 m"
Cons: "My check in luggage was torn. The handle was ripped off from one side. :("
Cons: "Could not get comfortable and (while it doesn't reflect on the airline) all the screaming children I could have done without"
Cons: "Everything was good"
Pros: "Continues"
Cons: "Can you enforce the team NOT to throw the luggage to keep on the belt(s) as you guys don't have to."
Pros: "All the Emirates hype is true! What a great experience even when traveling as a passenger assistant!"
Cons: "Baggage took close to 2 hours to get to baggage claim on return trip"
Pros: "In flight crew were nice."
Cons: "Had requested for wheel chair assistance but was denied saying everyone was " too busy". When the passenger stated she cannot go without help, the flight attendant helped her out and to a bus. She almost fell while getting on to the bus. Assistance was requested because of her poor eye sight on the left eye and issues with mobility because of that. Although I'm glad nothing bad happened, denial of assistance and making her feel concerned and speak for herself for someone to help could have been avoided if Emirates could keep their promised support. Very disappointed."
Pros: "The crew on board is always friendly and helpful. One of the toilets was quite big compared to most others."
Cons: "The food options are always more limited when you are seated near the back."
Pros: "Ok"
Pros: "Their wheel chair assistance was the best. They took care of my parents really well. Above all they were very welcoming and considerate towards their needs."
Pros: "Food and alcohol was plentiful especially after a long flight"
Cons: "The 777 is a bit cramped compared to A-380"
Pros: "Both flights were amazing the service in both were excellent including crews too"
Cons: "Both flights were amazing the service in both were excellent they also cared for our feet with the token of sock to Rest our feet from Dubai to Boston the crews hostess exclusive to work with clients good staff"
Cons: "We were not able to print the online checking ahead of time, so we had to stand in a lot of very long lines. The person printed the wrong boarding passes because they didn't know many details about domestic and international flights. There was also confusion about checking in the luggage between the domestic and international flights. A boarding pass from Dubai to Ahembadvad was not given at the New York airport."
Pros: "Crew very professional. Fare for flight very reasonable."
Cons: "Had 90 minutes fr connection, 30 min delay so 1 hr left. Had to walk walk and walk for nearly 1 hr to barely make it. Airport is TERRIBLE in terms of going from gate to gate- loong walks with no moving walkways. Train is a joke covering very short distance. Once arrived in Boston, took 1hr before luggage started unloading, and then to find out our 4 bags didn't come at all. Staff on ground not courteous, wouldn't send bags to home town in Raleigh. Had to wait till afternoon to get the bags and then fly to final destination. Entertainment system very bad, audio/video stop and go, stop and go- really terrible (though notice some people's screens were working fine)."
Pros: "Food and entertainment seemed a bit upscale."
Cons: "Young air hostesses with a bit of attitude. Wouldn't talk, just shake their heads in a weird way, to ask about what I wanted to drink or eat. None of my luggage made it."
Pros: "Please Refund my ticket"
Cons: "Lost baggage. It had important stuff"
Pros: "EXCELLENT QUICK SERVICE. CREW WERE FRIENDLY & ALWAYS SMILING. KEEP IT UP."
Pros: "on time and proice"
Cons: "food and seat"
Pros: "I like Emirates, and it was the first time that I flew Jet Blue. Jet Blue staff is friendly and helpful."
Cons: "Doesn't seem to me that Emirates and Jet Blue are aligned. JetBlue does not recognize what my status is with Emirates, the layover was long without a lounge, you can not select your seat on Jet Blue through Emirates (this is a huge irritation!), you can't check in online through Emirates for the Jet Blue return trip, and the seat selection for Jet Blue was awful."
Pros: "This airline is a dream."
Pros: "Boarding and space were great because I paid extra for it."
Cons: "One attendant seemed to be in training. Or perhaps she should've been. Everyone needs to learn but it doesn't boost your confidence in a flying experience when the crew member making the announcements keeps getting things jumbled."
Pros: "It was an unusual long 16 hours flight from Dubai. After few hours a bad Restroom smell was all over. Also, there was a family with 4 kids who were crying for Hours. A lady changed kids diapers and throw old used diapers I the floor under her seat."
Cons: "The crew show have took care of the bad smell and the dippers. They should have asked the Mothers why their kids are crying and tried to help. The food quality was not good"
Cons: "for the first time i payed more than i use to pay for flydubai and middle east airline because i taught it would be great to fly with emirates. but it turned out that all the advertising was misleading: the seats were the same as flydubai the service was really bad i got a spoiled chair and spoiled tv and all what the cabin crew did when i complained was that he told me sorry for that. i will never fly emirates anymore. quality/Price really bad. i was so disappointed. i got the same problem once in airfrance not only did they upgraded me to business but they gave me a voucher to buy from the duty free considering i payed to have a seat with a tv and it was ruined. Also there was hostess who was very aggressive i saw him waking up a guy in front of me in such a brutal way i was so pissed of him. I think emirates should pay less on their advertising and instead use the money to improve their service quality."
Pros: "best thing about this airline is their staff I hope they keep this excellent service standard"
Cons: "I didn't like that the upgrade to business class was more than $3k one way. The business class was not even flat bed. If you are going to charge that type of fee at least match what other airlines offer!"
Pros: "Emirates attendants were courteous."
Cons: "Three toilets were closed because of problems right from the start. So the entire flight of approximately 13-14 hours was inconvenient."
Cons: "The 777 seat was so uncomfortable"
Pros: "When I arrived in Boston a wheel chair was there to meet me and it took me all the way through customs and luggage to a taxi!!! I paid a handsome tip I was soooo happy!!!"
Cons: "I didn't like that I had such a hard time getting to my flight in Dubai! Sincerely, Kay grace Kaligrace2@gmail.com"
Pros: "Everything is a lesson to other airlines. Awesome flying by emirates."
Pros: "I liked how they had pizza bagels those were delicious, I liked how the crew felt with a medical emergencie mid flight over the Atlantic. Entertainment was good but the devices are very slow to use"
Cons: "I didn't like how slow the crew was to pick up the trash but I also understand they had a bunch of things they were dealing with on the flight so it was acceptable I didn't like how when there are open seats in business and first class I can't upgrade or take that space so we don't have to be cramed back in economy"
Pros: "كانت رحلة رائعة مع طاقم ملاحي محترف في خدماتهم المتواصلة وابتساماتهم الدائمة طوال الرحلة حتي وداعهم بابتسامة الا انني عندما وصلت الي مطار دبي قادما من السعودية ذهبت الي مو'ظف اسمه رياض لاستخراج البوردينج باس لرحلة المواصلة الي بوسطن فلم يعطيني وقال لي اطلع اليفوقدلاستخراج البوردينج باس وذهبت اليدالذابق الاعلي فقالو نحن لا نستخرج البوردينج باس من هنا ارجع تحت ورجعت ولم اجده ووجدت موظفه اخري قامت بخدمتي عليداكمل وجه واعطتني البوردينج باس مثل هذا الموظفدكاندسيتسبب في فقداني للمقعد بسبب اهماله امل ان ينظر لذلك بعين الاعتبار ووفقا لما تمليه قواعددخدمة الركاب حايدلا يتسبب فيدالاساءة لشركة عملاقة في مجال الطيران شاكرا لكم جهودكم ومتمنيا لكم مزيدا من التقدم والازدهار لكم خالص تحياتي الشريف /احمد السدمي"
Pros: "Received an upgrade to business class. Excellent service and accommodation."
Cons: "seats too small and airplane too hot. It took a full day for my body to recover from aches and muscle cramps."
Pros: "i lost my bag on board, they found it but were very helpful in passing on the bag to my family. Also, very friendly service personal service and each staff especially Mike in Beirut went the extra mile."
Cons: "Twice I booked my seat and twice I ended up in the middle seat at the back of the plane - I don't know how the seats were changed and plus sat between two really old men. As a solo travelling lady they should be more considered in seating us between men - whole flight was uncomfortable as their arms were leaning over on me and my seat Also food is not very good Wifi was tricky"
Pros: "The plane is just very good big enough and comfortable compared to other air lines. The food is so nice and enough for each meal and comes in the right time. The entire crew is excellent with good communication throughout the flight. Lastly the broad entertainment available makes even your journey shorter as it keeps you busy."
Pros: "Everything was good"
Pros: "It was calm"
Cons: "Maybe in first class"
Pros: "The crew were friendly and responsive"
Pros: "I highly appreciated the kind care of all the staff in the plane; especially the great selection of food. Thank you very much! For a plane it was really 5 * service."
Cons: "the correspondence between the staff. On my way to New York, I was brought to the lounge to wait until my boarding will start but nobody picked me up as promised, so I had to walk the way. I needed a wheel chair as well on my way back, extra ordered it at the check in, they said it is noted in the system. But nobody was there to pick me up. When I finally found someone, I was brought to a place, being asked to sit down and wait where I still had to pass stairs to come to the passport controll. From there noone picked me up, so I had to go my way alone with pain in my leg. I don't want to argue, I managed it even with pain but I wonder what happens with people if they cannot walk anymore at all. My advice would be that you work on to improve this service. We extra booked business class but this service was not worth being called business class."
Pros: "Super"
Cons: "The only kosher foodi is no good must change"
Pros: "Boarding was on time and the service was nice. The cabin crew were nice too."
Pros: "Service food timely departure"
Cons: "Nothing to dislike"
Cons: "The ONLY thing I hate about Turkish Airlines is the necessity to go through security in Istanbul when you're in transit on an international flight. Not only do you have to go through security again - with the serious chance of missing a connection - but if it's a flight to the USA, there is serious additional security at the gate. Surely this is enough."
Pros: "The crew onboard the flight were good and the entertainment was good"
Cons: "The boarding procedure is chaotic and the boarding crew were rude and yelling at passengers. No organization skills and poor communication as we were delayed over 90 minutes at the boarding gate to add salt to injury"
Cons: "Connection time was 1h 50 mn coz and still didnt catch my next plan It took me 3 hours to get to the transfer desk in Turkish airline and another 3 hours to be in the hotel. I not recommend it after this bad experience"
Pros: "Services and quality of food"
Cons: "Bit warm the plane"
Pros: "never turkish airlines ever again!"
Cons: "never turkish airlines ever again!"
Cons: "The food was low quality and delivered in a demeaning fashion."
Cons: "They have lost our luguage and up to this minute, we dont know where they are and when we are getting them. They are not even answering our calls or emails. Very bad airline with very unprofessional people. Will never fly aith this airline again."
Cons: "To whom this may concern: I am writing to express my absolute dissatisfaction and poor experience with the customer service and lack of working amenities on flight #TK11 leaving Istanbul into New York City, JFK. It was sadly a horrible ending to my trip and left me with a very unfortunate impression of Turkish Airlines. Less than an hour into the flight I spoke with a flight attendant making him aware that the USB port was not working so I was unable to charge my phone the entire flight. In addition, the wifi was not working. This is a huge problem because I planned on working remotely that day and my job was under the same presumption. The attendant blamed my phone and did not take my word that I was unable to connect until I insisted further and another passenger in front of me turned to my rescue and agreed with me stating the wifi was spotty and only worked for a short period of time until ultimately shutting off. The attendant did not apologize but said he would check on the port and the wifi and would get back to me. I followed up several times and he fed me the same lines until I grew frustrated that I was being completely ignored all while losing a day's work. During the last 20 minutes of the flight I decided to finally walk to the back of the plane and follow up for the last time with someone else. I explained the situation to the other attendant who seemed as though this was the first time he was hearing about this issue and he spoke to his chief who gave me a customer feedback form to fill out. No one offered me a different window seat to fix the port problem or even Miles Plus points for the inconvenience even though I requested it. I have never felt more disrespected and dismissed on a flight before this experience. As a star alliance member (CX765361), I frequently fly for work and personal trips and out of loyalty and assurance that I would be able to fulfill my work duties remotely given the features this airline promotes. I chose Turkish Airlines because it was apart of this program. This experience did not uphold the company's reputation and by flying with Turkish Airlines I completely missed a full day's work, deadlines and was behind when I physically returned to work. For the inconvenience, stress, disrespect and empty promises, I am requesting that Turkish Airlines reimburse me the portion of that flight. Best, Rachael"
Cons: "It is just crazy the extra cost that a person needs to pay for each extra Kg he/she needs to have onboard along with their "free baggage." I had to pay 23 extra US Dollars for every Kg, summing up to $160 for 7 Kgs!! Those additional belongings were crucial and important to carry, it very well understood that a certain capacity is only allowed onboard, yet being considerate and understanding in terms of customers' needs and priorities is as equally critical and important. I think the way the airline approaches the "Extra Weight" issue needs to be revisited, keeping in mind both sides' interests and concerns."
Pros: "In time"
Cons: "They did not give me window seat"
Pros: "The staff was courteous and helpful"
Cons: "The air temperature was warm and the food was not good. The choices were not available. I just ate bread and butter."
Cons: "Luggage was held back in Istanbul. It was broken into and never made it to NYC. They shipped to Texas at which point it had been opened and rifled through. Unprofessional."
Pros: "The crew bumber was short fot the full flight. The food used to be better in THY."
Cons: "This flight was cancelled due to weather conditions in Turkey, a snow storm that caused the Istanbul airport to be closed. I tried to reschedule my flight but was delayed 4 days which meant I was going to miss my work for 3 days."
Pros: "All"
Cons: "Late baggage"
Pros: "US government sends out travel advisories in timely fashion"
Cons: "Turkish airlines is overwhelmed with schedule changes. They behave in a manner not respecting the gravity of the situation and the need for people to get home. For example, they rescheduled our flights but did not confirm or ticket our flights. They should use all resources to get us home but won't let us fly on Star Alliance code share flights."
Cons: "I did online check in the day before, but the planes switched. wouldn't you just try to keep people in the same relative spot rather than having everyone repick the seats?"
Pros: "The crew works very hard to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. I appreciate it very much. The food service is quite good and the entertainment is excellent. The price is excellent for the service you receive. I agree with other reviews that a tall person will be very uncomfortable with the leg room. I am 5'7' (170 cm) and my knees hit the seat in front of me when the seat was leaned back."
Cons: "Only because the steward was nice I could get a vegetarian meal. The flight needs to be specifically told about vegetarian needs!!"
Pros: "Great food,wine and snacks!"
Pros: "I liked the food on my flights. The seats were comfortable. The movie selection was very good as well. They had a lot of new releases."
Cons: "I noticed that food service on both my Turkish Airline flights for this trip was slow. I feel in general passengers take a longer time to be served and the time it takes the crew to clean up the trays after a meal is even longer. Some the the passengers win my flights were even getting out of their seats to bring their trays to the flight attendant station because they wanted to be more comfortable in their seats. I also noticed they did not come by to collect trash as frequently as other airlines. The entertainment selection was good as far as movies but the music option was very limited and difficult to navigate."
Pros: "Priority lounge access made 12 hour layover less unbearable."
Cons: "Missing tray table. Was allowed to keep my bag for takeoff but not for landing. Defective headphones (three pairs). Long waits for lavatories. Animals in main cabin. No ability to turn off main cabin screen while landing. Neighbor vomited due to roughness of landing. And the 12 hour layover (CDG-IST-JFK) was pretty harsh, though not as bad as 16 in the other direction."
Pros: "on time performance for flight"
Cons: "Cabin crew not very responsive on requests"
Cons: "Similar issues as described above"
Pros: "The food and service, generally, were all quite good, as I have come to expect from Turkish Airlines. Turkish Airlines remains my preferred airline for all travel."
Cons: "The server handling my section of the aircraft seemed slower and less experienced, but this did not have a significant impact on my experience. The temperature in the cabin seemed to fluctuate quite a bit and my entertainment screen froze and seemed to shut down halfway through the flight."
Cons: "flight had hours of delays barely anyone speaks or understands English.. Lack of help from everywhere from checking in to boarding to take off won't recommend to anyone."
Pros: "Good crew attention and communication, good entertainment choices, decent comfort for a 175 cm person"
Cons: "Each flight was a little late (as usual, though, who knows why?)"
Pros: "Service was good. Seats were uncomfortable and hard! Entertainment was excellent!"
Pros: "The food, the stuff for sleeping"
Cons: "The boarding: too much stand by which leads to confusions and anxieties. I personally believed this problem of creating too much stand by could have been prevented in advance."
Pros: "Great movie choices and food"
Cons: "People were screaming because of turbulence and we got zero communication from staff. Terrible on and off boarding. Worst terminal."
Pros: "Business class was great. Comfortable lay flat seat. Tasty food and lots of it. Great entertainment system with endless high quality options."
Cons: "Istanbul airport does not have enough gates to handle their growth in traffic. As a result both my incoming and outgoing flights were embarked by bus from the tarmac. We passed by another 30 planes in the same situation. So it was not a one off."
Cons: "They let passengers on who were not supposed to be on the flight. Consequestnly the flight way massivle delayed as they were trying to sort out the mess with the numbers, wrong passengers. they deboarded one passenger and asked everyone to search their overheaed baggages for foreign things. caused a scare among the passengers but wast fully explained. boarding was very sketchy and felt unsafe, unsecure."
Pros: "The food plentiful, and the entertainment excellent."
Cons: "Seats so not comfortable. Boarding always takes forever and this flight takes off late, Every time. Sigh."
Cons: "We were asked to board and then sat on the plane for 6 hours while they de-iced the plane, waited for a new pilot, and replaced the food. It made our 11 hour trip close to 17 hours and was very uncomfortable."
Pros: "the first meal was very good for airline food. The second meal, okra over rice, was a joke. Not even sure why they bothered."
Pros: "Lots of free space on this particular flight to sleep."
Cons: "There were no toiletry offered on this flight."
Pros: "Awesome food. Good choice of alcoholic beverages, great entertainment."
Cons: "One of the worst knee room."
Pros: "Crew was excellent"
Cons: "Very cramped leg space"
Pros: "The food, beverages, comfortable seats and movie selections."
Cons: "Arriving to New York City."
Pros: "I got four seats for myself and slept 7H My lucky flight I love that you serve a real meal and that we are able to check in two luggage, I will fly Turkish airline again."
Cons: "Boarding took loooong because of slow security check at the gate"
Pros: "1) Turkish Air's online check-in, seat selection and printing of boarding pass was efficient and effective 2) The standard VEGETARIAN meals (non-vegan) were always fresh, very tatstey and properly warmed (when appropriate) 3) The flight attendants were: > Comfortable speaking with me in English (a native American English speaker). We had no trouble understanding each other. > Always courteous, congenial and helpful in their passenger interactions, including at check-in counter"
Cons: "KAYAK"
Cons: "Everything was excellent! I will be flying with them again!"
Pros: "aaa"
Cons: "zzz"
Pros: "United/ LH first called it a mechanical delay....we waited....then the weather caused this mini plane not to take off....long story short...we had to stay in a hotel...nobody gave us a voucher...our helped us with anything....very poor service"
Pros: "Flight left on time and as I was traveling alone I was upgraded to upper economy, which is a fantastic experience. Very smooth and stable flight. One of the best landing I even experienced. The flight inbound and outbound were on time both ways. Congratulations Lufthansa: I will definitely use this airline again."
Pros: "Staff was very courteous. Food was pretty ok and drinks were available during whole flight. Lufthansa is a good airline"
Pros: "Seating, cleanliness, crew courteousy, entertainment."
Cons: "Boarding process unclear, poor announcement, and messy. No wifi, choice and quality of food. Entertainment was erratic at times."
Pros: "Could not get skybridge to operate so that we could disembark. United airlines."
Pros: "I Luz Myriam will give to Lufthansa 10 qualification!!! in Overall, Boarding, Crew, Food , Entertainment, but 8 about Confort"
Cons: "Just the air conditions was too cold I asked the attendant if can warm my place a little, but she told me the other passenger are warm, she doesn't take care about me, NOT COOL!!"
Pros: "every thing was good, so comfortable for a long flight"
Cons: "Crew was not friendly or very helpful, nothing stood out. As this was the first leg of my international flight, it would have been much better I had proper food, rather than a bag of 6 pretzels, especially since I had to be at the airport three hours earlier, and I had a six hour layover in Newark."
Pros: "Even I fly Lufthansa all the time with miles and more it makes you IT'S LIKE TOILET PAPER...VERY DISAPPOINTED...."
Pros: "Economy seats are not comfortable. The seat cushions are worn out and do not provide good support for long flights."
Cons: "The whole trip was a nightmare. I go out of my way to NOT fly United, In this case Lufthansa somehow just sold the ticket and United was flying it and as usual it was horrendous. We had to be re-routed via 3 separate flights jus to make our international connection thanks to our initial flight being moved up 2 hours EARLY. They closed the door in our faces. That added 8 hours of travel time to our trip which I had booked to minimize travel time as I was traveling with pets. United is the WORST."
Pros: "The crew were very friendly. The plane was very clean. The service was excellent, and my husband and I were impressed by the food quality. They even hand out wet wipes for you before serving food, so you can feel clean! I felt like the seats were pretty normal in terms of size and space in economy class, but obviously, it would have been nice to have a tiny bit more space. Good entertainment options."
Cons: "nothing :)"
Pros: "leg room, entertainment, the pilot was informative throughout the flight"
Pros: "Crew was beyond standard. Very nice and friendly and always accommodating."
Cons: "They ran out of vegetarian meals."
Pros: "food was very good-no plastic flatware! crew attentive, cabin temp good, great selection of movies, hot towels perfect"
Cons: "coffee awful"
Pros: "Staff attentive. Came by very frequently."
Pros: "more comedies movies and more up to date soccer"
Pros: "I'v said it all above. Liked everthng"
Pros: "Lufthansa is one of the better airlines, especially when flying to Germany. They offer a very good service in the economy class which includes free wine (and not only sodas) and a large selection of free newspapers which I value a lot. Newspapers are much more interesting to read than watching movies in my personal opinion. Overall, when aboard Lufthansa, one does not have the feeling of cheapness seen so often on competing airlines. A few years ago, when flying from San Diego to New York, a 5 hour flight on a major US carrier, passengers were not even offered a free drink. Everything had to be paid for. In comparison, all food and all drinks are free on Lufthansa which includes not only wine but also Baileys (a sweet liquor). Given the excellent service, ticket prices charged by Lufthansa are a bargain even if at a small premium over the competition."
Pros: "The flight attendants were good - they run a tight ship, both from a safety perspective and looking out for the passengers. That said, they should have allowed me to move to any open seat, except first class, to accommodate any passenger with broken equipment at the seat they selected."
Cons: "This old plane had broken seats with broken entertainment equipment. After changing seats twice, my ultimate seat still had a loud buzz in the sound system. The flight attendants should be allowed to seat an inconvenienced passenger in any open seat in the event of broken equipment. Space in the seats was ridiculously tight for a 7 hr international flight."
Pros: "excellent. free drinks, food was delicious. attendants were wonderful."
Pros: "The interior of the plane was nice. The new-design seats, even though they were thin, were fairly comfortable."
Cons: "Way too little legroom. I expected better from Lufthansa. The United flight (767-400) I took back from Germany had at least 1.5 inches more legroom and was far more comfortable as a result. I had a good impression of Lufthansa before, but will avoid the airline now."
Pros: "All around wonderful trip and experience starting with the flight. The pilots and crews courtesy was fabulous. I arrived ahead of schedule by more than an hour. Thank you Lufthansa! I will be flying with you again soon."
Cons: "I had no dislikes... just a grand time..."
Pros: "Traveled with my dog. They had empty row so United moved us there so dog can be comfortable under the middle seat. Staff was very nice and offered water and ice for the dog."
Pros: "Staff were all very professional and courteous. Flight on time."
Cons: "Having to sit in last row."
Pros: "Boarding was fine."
Cons: "The food that I got smelled so bad and I told the host that was helping us at that section to just justify and check on my food if he can just get me another one. He said okay he took my food and after like 25 mins I ask him what happened to my food he was like oh yeah i will bring it. although, he never did. I was so pissed to a point where I will never choose this airline again even though. I travel so much through Lufthansa and I tell my friends that this is the best airline but sorry you just lost my bussiness!!!!!"
Pros: "Free movie. Good take off and landing by Pilot."
Cons: "Flight attendants were professional, but discourteous. It was not Luftansa as advertised but A UNited airline Plane & crew terrible ! The flight attendants Made you feel like you couldnt ask for anything extra! (Water, juice). The meal wasn't heated all the way, breakfast snack was cold. The seats seemed extra cramped no leg room. You were literally laying on the passenger next to you! They also didnt allow people with children, babies to do advanced boarding it took up so much time! I payed for extra leg room on my return flight which was cancelled by the way due to weather then they gave upgrades to others for free..! While the return flight was delayed I was kept in airport for 8hrs before they cancelled it also unpleasant! That section of the airport had no food, all United Airlines offered us while waiting was sodas! Really? not again will i fly international with UA!"
Pros: "Friendly staff and nice people incl Kay! She was so helpful to me as I'm traveling internationally with 2 kids under 2"
Cons: "Comfort is horrible if your not in comfort rows with extra room. The food is ok but the staff were so consistent and offered food and drinks. The airline should allow pass gets with kid/kids to get on plane earlier not with reg bording passengers. It's horrible how rude people are and impatient!! This would hwlp"
Cons: "Pilot did not yet to avoid turbulences, which were pretty bad. They also lost my luggage which arrived after three days."
Pros: "Everything was very nice. Flight was on time. The staff was nice. Food was good. Seats could have more space. But overall was great."
Pros: "Comfortable and convenient"
Pros: "Being assigned seat only ten minutes before take off is not ideal"
Pros: "Great service and good very friendly"
Pros: "We came with a baby and were assigned a bassinet seat. The service was great. The food was excellent. The seats were comfortable."
Pros: "The crew were nice. They tried to make everyone happy even though the flight was fully booked."
Cons: "My seat was terrible ( middle all the way in the back and the people next to me occupied both my armrests so i had almost no room to stretch so couldn't relax or sleep at all)) and the food was gross i got food poisoning from the last snack ( turkey sandwich ) and they didn't have any ginger ale."
Pros: "I was not worse than other airlines."
Cons: "It was not better than other airlines."
Pros: "Flight took off a couple of hours late due to problems in Frankfurt airport but everyone worked to help us with connecting flights."
Pros: "Got us there"
Cons: "United"
Pros: "Significantly more room, width and leg room, with footrests, business class wide arm rests, courtesy kit (socks, mask, toothbrush)... Great entertainment system and large screen. Beats the heck out of united and american!"
Pros: "I like the Air Bus airplane and its comfortable seats. I also loved the Lufthanza crew services. Wonderful"
Pros: "Everyone was very helpful"
Cons: "First flight was canceled. We were rerouted through to Philadelphia to London to Frankfurt and on to Salzburg. Luggage lost in London still waiting on that."
Cons: "Excellent"
Pros: "That we had a selection of movies to watch."
Cons: "Got stuck in the last row in the middle of the plane. They ran out of turkey for dinner and got stuck with awful pasta. They should leave that to Italian chefs to make. I am glad I packed some snacks so that I could have something to eat besides the roll, dessert and small salad. The seats didn't recline fully like the seats in front of us so we were really cramped. They also skipped my husband when they came around with the drinks... we had to hit the call button. I will book my next trip with another airline."
Cons: "Lufthansa canceled without warning and offered zero options. They even turned off their phones to the entire public. Will never fly Lufthansa again. Ever."
Pros: "Variety of Movies"
Cons: "parallel boarding of business and economy class, poor entertainment system quality. Functionality limited and even after 2 times rebooting no big improvement."
Pros: "They actually feed you good food and the crew's service is very fast. In-flight entertainment was wonderful."
Pros: "The seats, staff, entertainment, particularly liked that you served hot chocolate! The staff were very polite, friendly and helpful."
Cons: "Food -vegan menu was bad for n the outgoing flight, better on the incoming flight. No vegan food available on domestic fight. Sitting in the aisle seat meant often people pushing past your seat."
Cons: "I not get to go my flight, I couldn't get reimbursement"
Cons: "I was catching a flight in Paris to Aberdeen after arriving from Malaga. The time between flights was not enough 55 mins as the gate closed 20 mins before departure and it takes at least 15 minutes from arrival to taxi to the terminal and then get off the plane. I had to change from terminal F to E which was well sign posted but I only made it with 4 minutes to spare"
Cons: "The time. The flight was late for 1 hour. I miss everything and also I get very late to our Airbnb and I was with my family and child"
Cons: "The food is usually very good, this time it was poor to disappointing- dark meat chicken.., tasteless & unhealthy....mushy fruit dessert choices"
Cons: "Seats are not comfortable for long haul. Airbus 380 premier economy. Not enough reclining and leg support."
Cons: "Seats were too close together."
Cons: "Our request for vegetarian meals got lost after a glight was cancelled."
Pros: "All went right namely the seats but the luggage condition is the worst"
Cons: "Air France is not a low fare airlines, I had to pay 225 USD against 3 luggages which is not acceptable. We should have the right for one luggage per ticket as all other airlines. If I knew this will happen, I wouldn't use Air France and this will be the last time I buy a ticket on Air France"
Pros: "Crew was good, seat was not, it was freezing cold and one little blanket was inadequate!"
Cons: "Provide another blanket when needed, was wearing shorts and a short sleeve shirt."
Pros: "Nothing !! Such a bullshit flight ever !!!"
Cons: "No tv fo 14 hr long flight !! Flight delayed for 1 he !! No proper arranged to board .. it was kiosk!! Food quality was worse. No space to seat !! Can't sleep .. no leg space !! Worst fight till the date !!!"
Pros: "The schedule and timing"
Cons: "The airport, some of the crew, the aircraft seats, the entertainment system"
Pros: "The entertainment options were great."
Cons: "Seats are so cramped. I'm 5'3" and could use either arm rest because both people on either side spilled into my seat."

Pros: "The crew was efficient and friendly. The plane took off on time and landed on time."
Cons: "Boarding was slow and tedious. People still crowd around the boarding area despite there being row for the zones. Why they don't board from back to front is beyond me. The food was mediocre at best."

Cons: "Economy seats not very comfortable, very tightly packed together"

Pros: "The staff was very nice and friendly"
Cons: "One hour delay without any information on embarking and another hour in the plane before departure"
Cons: "I did not like that i was in the bulkhead and there was not sufficient overhead storage for us. The bin was only big enough for 1 backpack. 2 of the 3 of us in that row had to go 2 rows back to store our luggage. This is very inconvenient when deboarding because I have to wait for many others to pass before I get a chance to walk towards the back of the plane to get my luggage."
Cons: "No offer of snack with no egg in it."
Pros: "The flight had a delayed of 2 hours due a system issue, but the flight was comfortable, and the airplane was clean."

Pros: "The cabin crew was very good!"
Cons: "The economy premium seats are very uncomfortable"
Cons: "Its been a week. My trip has ended. I still do not have my bags. Terrible customer service."

Pros: "Crew very professional and nice food Boarding process well organized"

Cons: "Food was not good."
Pros: "Flight arrived safely."
Cons: "Air France offered no help rebooking missed connection at JFK due to delay of more than 2 hours in arrival."

Pros: "Boarding sevece was very nice and helpful Thanks so much"
Pros: "Excellent choice of movies. Great service. Friendly crew."
Cons: "I requested a lacto-ovo vegetarian meal, which I received. However, it appears the meal was also vegan. Normally, that would be okay except one of the two standard meal choices was also vegetarian and seemed much better. Since I had selected lacto-ovo vegetarian, it seems I was not allowed to select the standard vegetarian option. Hard not to have cheese on an Air France flight - just saying :-)"
Pros: "cookies were great"
Cons: "we paid for two seats together (one aisle and one middle) an exit row with extra legroom from paris to LA. but when we got to Prague they had one of us in the middle seat in the exit row and the other in a completely different part of the plane, also a middle row. The folks in Prague couldn't fix this, they moved one ticket to a different exit row, not together, different part of the plane. In Paris, but ONLY after I located my receipt on my phone, they moved us to the seats we had paid for."
Pros: "Croissants instead of pretzels was a nice change of snack"
Cons: "Computer failure rendered the check in process a total mess. Staff seemed utterly at a loss and also totally unprepared for this very early and very full flight. Most passengers seemed to have multiple bags to check. Since this is a regular flight it was hard to understand why check in staff wandered in late when time was already tight - let alone having a system failure as well to deal with. We were 50 minutes late leaving. This resulted in many of us either missing or having extremely tight (stressful) connections at CDG Paris."

Q: Problems with Exec in Puppet i want to to run the following command with puppet:
sb2-init rasp /home/ubuntu/raspberry_pi_development/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

In Puppet:
exec { "initSB2":

    user => 'vagrant',
    logoutput => true,
}

the sb2-init command is in the "/home/vagrant/raspberry_pi_development/scratchbox2/bin" directory and i want to execute this command in the "/home/vagrant/raspberry_pi_development/scratchbox2/bin" Folder.
When i execute this puppet-manifest i get:

this command works when i type it manually in the shell but not with puppet!
What is the problem?
Regards
Michael

A: I don't think that this is actually anything to do with Puppet - the command output is actually coming from the script, rather than Puppet (by the looks of it, there are issues with both missing packages and script syntax, but without seeing the script, it's impossible to say).
I would manually run the command (e.g. over SSH) and check the output. Once you have fixed the underlying problem, re-run the Puppet command and everything should succeed.

UK mobile operators form NFC joint venture
By Sarah Clark • 16 June 2011 • Updated 4 February 2019 • nfcw.com
Everything Everywhere, which runs the Orange and T-Mobile networks in the UK, Vodafone and Telefónica O2 have agreed to establish a joint venture company that "will deliver the technology required for the speedy adoption of mobile wallet and payments."
JOINT VENTURE: UK mobile network operators stake out NFC wallet claim
The UK's four leading mobile networks have announced plans to create a joint venture company that "will deliver the technology required for the speedy adoption of mobile wallet and payments."
The new company is being set up by Telefónica UK, Vodafone UK and Everything Everywhere, the recently created merger between the UK arms of mobile network operators Orange and T-Mobile, and aims to launch before the end of 2011, subject to clearance from the competition authorities.
"This will enable consumers to transfer their entire physical wallet into a new secure, SIM-based wallet regardless of which NFC enabled mobile device, or mobile network they are using," say the partners. "Companies and organisations that provide anything from credit, debit and loyalty cards to membership cards and transport tickets will be able to create secure mobile versions of their products. Consumers will be able to use their mobiles to pay for goods, services and travel using contactless technology (NFC) with one touch of their phone, or online via mobile or PC."
The new business will provide a single contact point for advertisers, media agencies and retailers looking to reach consumers on their mobile phones. The joint venture company (JV) "will enable them to book advertising space and create campaigns as well as provide offers, coupons and loyalty cards which can be stored on the phone and redeemed in shops. For consumers, the JV means that they will be able to receive discounts and offers from brands that are relevant to them and that they want to receive."
Everything Everywhere, Telefónica and Vodafone will also "continue to develop their own competing products and services tailored to their own customers, which will be based on the open platform infrastructure provided by the JV."
"This groundbreaking new business will unlock the true potential of commerce in the wire-free world," says Tom Alexander, CEO of Everything Everywhere. "The benefits will be felt across the whole industry, allowing people to manage their money and make payments using their handsets, helping advertisers reach their customers on the move, and helping banks provide their clients with an easy and convenient way of making payments.
"And for partners operating in these industries, having a one-stop shop to deal with will make things quicker, easier and more efficient," he added. "This joint venture will further reinforce mobile as the essential 21st century device at the heart of people's daily lives."
Ronan Dunne, chief executive at Telefónica UK, said: "We are seeing an explosion in the m-commerce market. Mobile advertising spend alone has more than doubled in two years as consumers embrace marketing on their handsets because it is now relevant to them and provides a great customer experience."
"The mobile marketing and payments market is extremely fragmented. By creating this new business we will underpin this nascent market, providing real size and scale, allowing consumers to benefit from new and innovative services like the mobile wallet, and giving them more of the things they value, through offers and deals that are truly relevant to them. At the same time business customers will reach a vastly increased audience, utilising a single platform for sales, delivery and payment.
"This is not just something that is unique in the UK, but a JV that will create a model that many countries around the world could follow."
Guy Laurence, CEO at Vodafone UK, added: "Since Vodafone made the first ever call just 26 years ago, mobile phones have transformed people's lives. Along the way, the mobile phone has become the one item people really cannot be without. It is the first thing they reach for in the morning and the last thing they check at night. Over recent years it has integrated new gadgets such as digital cameras and music players as they have become popular. The new generation of smartphones is even taking on desktop PC by providing internet on the move and removing the need to be in the home or office.
"Currently people take their mobile, wallet and keys when they leave home. In the near future, people will now start leaving their wallet at home, and in the mid term their keys may also be integrated into their mobile as NFC allows the mobile to act as a digital access card. The joint venture is the next phase in realising that ambition."

Opening Day for Trails 2016 weekend recap
by Bicycle Coalition | Apr 12, 2017 | Biking in Philly, The Circuit | 0 comments
This past weekend marked the official start to shorts season, as well as "Opening Day for Trails", where events were held across the region to celebrate the Circuit Trails' 320 miles of trail throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. The sun came out on Saturday along with hundreds of cyclists, joggers, and families to break records, ride a new trail, and help clean up the city's streets and trails. Here's a recap of this weekend to catch you up on what you missed:
Chester Creek Trail Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony:
After over 20 years of planning and advocacy by Friends of Chester Creek Branch, the 2.8 mile trail along Chester Creek in Delaware County had its opening ceremony on Saturday. Dozens of friends and families gathered at the 1.5 mile marker to witness the ribbon-cutting and take the first official steps on a trail that expands upon the region's 320 miles of trail.
Construction for the Chester Creek Trail began 3 years ago on the unused Chester Creek Branch rail line, a new challenge for the Friends of Chester Creek Trail. Today, over 75% of the Circuit Trail network is built on abandoned rail lines.
Along with the newly initiated Chester Creek Trail, two more segments of the Circuit Trails are set to open in the coming months. Bartram's Mile North and South, a 1.1 stretch of trail by Bartram's Garden will open April 22, followed by Phase 1 of the K&T Trail running along the Delaware River on May 15. By continuously encouraging more trail development, the Circuit Trail Coalition hopes to add 20 miles of trail each year, pushing them closer to their ultimate goal to create 750 miles of contiguous trails through the region and connect the suburban neighborhoods that have been isolated from the city by roads and highways.
Circuit Trails Opening Day: Break a World Record
Over 100 people gathered at Penn Treaty Park this Saturday in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record of longest fist-bump relay. Unfortunately, the efforts by the city fell short of the 500 person requirement to break the record, but hey, it's the thought that counts!
116 people came out to Penn Treaty Park on Saturday to try and break the Guinness World Record for longest fist bump relay.
Fist-bumpers had the opportunity to enter to win a new Fuji bike, as well as hear from the Circuit Trails Coalition and others about the significance of the Circuit Trails network. Although we didn't break the record, those who came out had a blast connecting with others who share support for the trail system, and wish to see its progress continue.
Explore the Circuit: Season Kick-Off
Opening Day of Trails wouldn't be complete without a group ride! This past Saturday, cyclists of all abilities gathered at Twisted Cog Bike Shop to start an 18 mile ride as part of a series of rides sponsored by BCGP: Explore the Circuit. The "Triple Play ride" hit three different trails, the Schuylkill, Audubon, and Perkiomen. The group also took a side trip into Valley Forge to cross over the new Sullivan's Bridge (which opened in 2016) connecting the Schuylkill River Trail to Valley Forge.
Crossing Sullivan's Bridge
10th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup:
Saturday also marked the 10th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup, which garnered over 700 volunteer projects by organizations across the city, making it the biggest spring cleanup thus far. From cleaning up Broad Street in preparation for the May 7 Broad Street Run, to clearing the Belmont Plateau Trail in Fairmount Park, volunteers worked in every part of the region to help beatify the city and rid Philly of unwanted litter and trash.
SERVEPhiladelphia gathered volunteers from Grays Ferry and Point Breeze to clean up their neighborhood.
The day of giving back to the city worked not only to enhance its cleanliness, but also to bring the community together under one goal.
Philly Spring Cleanup is just one step forward towards the city's ultimate goal of zero trash and litter on the streets. The Zero Waste and Litter Cabinet, formed in December 2016, aims to reach this goal by trying to increase the waste and diversion rate of the city. 'Zero Starts With One,' the vision of the Zero Waste and Litter Cabinet stresses that a litter-free city starts with one goal, one person, or one neighborhood, but it's the collective efforts of the community that will ultimately improve the city for those who live, work and play here.
CYC Fun Day 2017:
Cadence Youth Cycling successfully kicked off its first of three spring all-site core events Saturday with a scavenger hunt throughout Fairmount Park. During Fun Day 2017, each of the core site teams was sent out on an alley cat style hunt that hit 7 checkpoints throughout Fairmount Park. The 25 mile ride tested the kids' endurance, route finding, and cycling knowledge with challenges at each checkpoint. Fun Day ended at Lemon Hill, where all the teams gathered for lunch, games, and prizes for completing the scavenger hunt.
A great turnout for CYC Fun Day!

Politifact: Bullock Using False Gun Control Stats
Steve Bullock, Courtesy Jon King
Governor Steve Bullock (D-MT) is getting called out by Politifact for using false statistics when it comes to the gun control debate. Bullock, desperate to be named as a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, was recently in Milwaukee, Wisconsin raising money for Wisconsin Democrats.
Politifact analyzed a line by Bullock where he argued that a quarter of gun buyers bought a gun without a background check. Politifact rated this claim as "mostly false," adding:
But it takes into account people who acquired guns either by purchasing them, or by simply receiving them, for example as a gift.
Among those surveyed who had purchased a gun within the previous two years, only 13 percent said they had done so without a background check.
I reached out to Tim Macy with the Gun Owners of America for reaction. Macy says:
This is typical for anti-gun politicians like Bullock. They say whatever they want and spew phony statistics along the way thinking they won't be fact checked. Usually, when they are caught, they go even more on the attack because they can't win the argument based on facts. Montana deserves better than Bullock.
TMJ4 News in Milwaukee also filed the below TV report on the story:
In case you missed it, Politico has a piece about the 2020 Dems and how their staffs are shaping up. Here's what they had to say about Bullock:
After registering a new political group of his own in 2017, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock brought Tom Lopach — a Washington veteran and former Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chief with close ties to donors nationwide — to Helena to serve as his chief of staff. And much of his political work has increasingly been run through Matt McKenna, a former Bill Clinton aide, and Nick Baldick, a veteran strategist with significant experience atop presidential campaigns, particularly in New Hampshire. Bullock's ad makers, Clare Gannon and Mattis Goldman, remain in the fold, as well.

The Markets (as of market close February 4, 2022)
Last week was notable for a stronger-than-expected jobs report and mixed fourth-quarter earnings data. Stock values rose and fell throughout the week, ultimately closing higher. Crude oil prices rose for the seventh consecutive week, as prices near an eight-year high. A cold snap in the United States and concerns about the Ukrainian situation contributed to the raise in the prices of natural gas and oil. Each of the benchmark indexes listed here ended the week higher, led by the Nasdaq, which had one of its worst days last Thursday, only to be followed by one of its best performances. The large caps of the S&P 500 and the Dow pushed higher. The Global Dow gained over 2.0%, and the small caps of the Russell 2000 advanced 1.7%. The dollar fell, while gold prices climbed higher.
Stocks pushed higher last Monday for the second consecutive session as dip buyers snatched bargains in beaten-down growth stocks. The Nasdaq led the charge, climbing 3.4%, followed by the Russell 2000 (3.1%), the S&P 500 (1.9%), the Dow (1.2%), and the Global Dow (1.0%). Gains were noted across each of the market sectors, with information technology and communication services leading the way. Ten-year Treasury yields were flat, while the dollar dipped. Crude oil prices climbed 1.5% to $88.15 per barrel.
Last Tuesday, Wall Street enjoyed its best three-day rally since 2020. Strong fourth-quarter earnings data from some major corporations helped bolster investor confidence. Each of the benchmark indexes advanced, with the Global Dow (1.4%) and the Russell 2000 (1.1%) gaining the most, followed by the Dow and the Nasdaq, each of which added 0.8%. The S&P 500 rose 0.7%. Energy, financials, industrials, communication services, and materials led the market sectors. Ten-year Treasury yields climbed to 1.8%, crude oil prices edged higher, while the dollar dipped.
Stocks closed generally higher for the fourth consecutive session last Wednesday, with only the small caps of the Russell 2000 lagging. The S&P 500 (0.9%), the Dow (0.6%), the Global Dow (0.6%), and the Nasdaq (0.5%) each pushed higher. culminating in the biggest four-day rally since November 2020. Crude oil prices slipped to $87.93 per barrel, the dollar fell nearly 0.5%, and 10-year Treasuries declined to 1.77%. Leading the market sectors were communication services, real estate, utilities, health care, and consumer staples.
Last Thursday saw the biggest tech sell off since the fall of 2020, ending a four-day rally. The Nasdaq fell 3.7% as a major technology company saw its shares fall more than 26% following its underwhelming fourth-quarter earnings results. Adding to investor worries was the latest jobless claims report, which showed 238,000 new claims for unemployment insurance were filed last week. The S&P 500 declined 2.4%, the Russell 2000 lost 1.9%, the Dow edged 1.45% lower, and the Global Dow dipped 0.8%. Ten-year Treasury yields climbed six basis points to 1.82%. Crude oil prices rose above $90.00 per barrel, while the dollar slid lower.
A strong jobs report and favorable earnings data from a major tech company helped power stocks higher last Friday. Ten-year Treasury prices fell, driving yields up to 1.93% as it looks more likely that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by 50 basis points in March. Among the market indexes listed here, only the Dow failed to gain ground, dipping less than 0.1 percentage point. The Nasdaq gained 1.6%, the Russell 2000 rose 0.6%, the S&P 500 edged up by 0.5%, while the Global Dow ended flat. Consumer discretionary (3.7%), financials (1.7%), and energy (1.6%) led the market sectors. Crude oil prices continued to climb, reaching $92.20 per barrel late Friday. The dollar was mixed on the day.

In February 2020, prior to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the unemployment rate was 3.5%, and unemployed persons numbered 5.7 million. In January, the labor force participation rate held at 62.2% (61.9% in December), and the employment-population ratio was little changed at 59.7% (59.5% in December). Both measures are up from a year earlier but remain below their February 2020 levels (63.4% and 61.2%, respectively). The number of persons not in the labor force who currently want a job was little changed at 5.7 million in January. This measure decreased by 1.3 million since January 2021 but is 708,000 higher than in February 2020. In January, the share of employed persons who teleworked because of the coronavirus pandemic increased to 15.4%. In January, 6.0 million persons reported that they had been unable to work because their employer closed or lost business due to the pandemic. This measure is considerably higher than the level of 3.1 million in December. In January, average hourly earnings increased $0.23, or 0.7%, to $31.63. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 5.7%. Last month, the average work week fell 0.2 hours to 34.5 hours.
Manufacturing slowed in January, according to the latest IHS Markit purchasing managers' survey. The IHS Markit U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index™ (PMI™) posted 55.5 in January, down from 57.7 in December. This is the lowest reading since October 2020. Data indicated that output growth was muted and demand conditions softened, with new orders rising at the slowest pace since September 2020. The rate of cost inflation eased to the softest in eight months, however, as firms also moderated the pace at which selling prices increased. Contributing to the weakened output was the impact of the Omicron variant, raw material and labor shortages, and a reluctance among some clients to place orders amid hikes in selling prices and longer lead times.
Business activity in January also slowed in the services sector. The IHS Markit U.S. Services PMI Business Activity Index registered 51.2, down notably from 57.6 in December. The rate of increase in output in January was the slowest in the past 18 months. Business activity in the business sector was hampered by the spread of the Omicron variant, as domestic and foreign demand conditions weakened. In addition, companies passed higher costs on to clients despite signs that cost pressures eased during January.
According to the latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary, the number of job openings rose by less than 200,000 in December 2021. The number of hires dropped by 333,000 to 6.3 million, and the number of separations decreased by 305,000 to 5.9 million. Job openings rose in several industries, with the largest increases coming in accommodation and food services (+133,000), information (+40,000), and nondurable goods manufacturing and state and local government education (+31,000 each). Job openings decreased in finance and insurance (-89,000) and in wholesale trade (-48,000). The number of quits edged down in December to 4.3 million (-161,000) following a series high of 4.5 million in November. In December, the number of layoffs and discharges fell nearly 100,000 to 1.2 million, a series low.

The next round of data on inflation begins this week with the release of the Consumer Price Index for January. Consumer prices rose 0.5% in December and 7.0% in 2021. Little change is expected in price pressure, at least through March, when the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates for the first time since 2018 in what could be several such advances throughout this year.


Q: What is time difference in finance?

According to Feng Shui Home Design practitioners, when you enhance the wealth or love luck energies in the bathroom, you will create financial issues and relationship conflicts. If you have identified a love corner in your bathroom and use crystals to lessen the impact, you might attract the wrong person – all because it is in the toilet.
You can counter the effects of bad energy from the earth in the bathroom by adding wind chimes and metal furnishings. It is important to suppress the bad energy from wood if your bathroom is located at the southeast area of the house. Aromatherapy candles, glitter lamps, and bright lights are ideal for us in the bathroom because they can keep bad chi under control.
• Hang a metal wind chime at the Southwest and Northeast areas of the bathroom The sound of metal and the chimes help block bad earth energy. When looking for a wind chime, look for those that don't have Chinese symbols. The main purpose is to suppress negative chi instead of energizing the bathroom area. Avoid placing crystals and wind chimes on the north, northwest, and west.
• Display crystals on the southern area of the bathroom You can hang crystals by the bathroom window. The dance of lights from the crystal helps block off negative chi. Cleansing crystals that can be used, too. Experts also recommend the use of crystal geode, which is a piece of rock that is hollow at the center. Crystals are aesthetically beautiful. Avoid putting crystals in the bathroom that faces west, northwest, northeast, and west.
• Green plants help liven up the area. Plants also help you rejuvenate after a hard days' work.
