Calm lad....calm....:P

I'm flying to Canada on the 21st, that flight is at 12:10. Hence the confusion. But when I looked at the board and saw nothing listed I spent a few seconds wondering if it had kicked off in NYC due to Trump and some flights were cancelled, lol.

What I'm more pissed at now is that I packed my phone charger in my checked luggage which meant I had to pay 18 feckin euro for a crappy oul universal charger in Dixons.

Should reach 100% in about 2 days...

Yes me. If you have an android phone you should be able to install the app and scan your passport and use your phone as a boarding pass.

will it be safe enough to collect them at the ticket kiosk in the morning in shannon though? just want to make sure I can get them tomorrow as im checking in bags too

Yip you should be fine, i may do the same. Its not a kiosk pre say like the automatic one you see... its old school. There will be united staff there checking in your bag and printing your tickets. ( well there was last time i used this route)

Log into your 365online account and choose Service Desk from the options on the left. Choose Card Travel Notification from the drop down menu click Go and then enter in your card details and duration of stay.

It gets authorised within 24 hours so you should be grand if you do it today

Pretty much everywhere I’ve taken a flight into the States you get the ticket from the counter as they have someone from the airline who checks and scans you passport before you get to the counter and then the person at the counter takes your final destination address as well. Bit more check in required than a flight to London and that's even before the TSA preclearance.

United allow you to scan in your passport and address of hotel in the app. Era be grand. Tis just a bit early to be talking to people like

Turbo_diesel

Lads for anyone going to the fight at MSG bring your passport out if you want to drink! They don't accept Irish or EU driving license so unless you have a Yank ID it's passport or nothing. They ask you regardless of age.

Anyone going for scoops tomorrow? We are on the 1pm flight to Newark so probably too late to make the weigh in's.

Designator

will my phone work away fine over there or what? heard of people having problems with network coverage and stuff in america, anything that needs to be done first ?

DrPhilG

I'm with 3 so it's great, free roaming for calls texts and data.

Collected my ticket tonight. Got the train in from Newark to Penn station and grabbed my ticket before I went to the hotel.

Very swish, collectors edition tickets for everyone with the statue of liberty/octagon hologram.

donddddd

Still have those 2 floor seats if you hear of anyone looking.

Be careful, 3 ain't free. Got this when I landed

From Three: It's 1.78 p/m to make calls; 1.01 p/m to receive; 35.58c to send SMS, 50.82c for MMS & max 7.12/MB to use web.

This is what I got.

"You can use your allowance to call & text home & use data at no extra cost (unless you're on a new Essential plan). "

I'm 3 UK but my brother in law is 3 Ireland and he gets free roaming on the" Feel at Home" plan too.

Hey man, just a heads up. I actually work for three. We have no roaming plans outside of the EU. I've had a lot of my accounts absolutely savaged by roaming charges outside the EU.

That message mentions an "essential plan" which is the name of a Vodafone plan that does offer outside EU roaming options. (used to work for Vodafone)

Three and Vodafone have agreements with certain American companies to essentially host their customers when they are abroad. Maybe you got the wrong text message or something.

Aljamain Sterling. He was doing interviews and took over NASDAQ Snapchat for a while yesterday on behalf of UFC.

3 UK have something like 40 countries (including USA) as part of the "Like Home" thing.


3 Ireland have fûcking 6, it's a joke, and US is not included. I'd be watching your data!

He already said he's with 3 UK though.

Ah I somehow read it as the brother in law was 3 UK, I'd be watching HIS data then!

Dunno what to tell you, but I've always had free roaming in the US. Been here 3 times in the last 2 years and no bills. That is the same text I get as when I roam on 3 or I Ireland.

Edit, just read on and realised you thought I was 3 Ireland.

Didn't realise that 3 Ireland don't offer the same feel at home countries. That's a disgrace.

DrPhilG

Does anybody know if MSG are sticking to the seat assignments for the weigh ins? I should have asked security yesterday when I collected my ticket.

mooeire

Hi Lads,

Not going to the fight unfortunately but my brother lives in NYC, what time is everyone meeting up beforehand as he may be looking for tickets. Is it the Triple Crown tomorrow as well as today?

Cheers lads and enjoy

Not yet. Hoping to go today and tomorrow.

I just met an extremely drunk chap in the lift of my hotel. Seemingly just back from a night out. Wearing boxers, Ireland shirt and a tricolour.

Boardsie???

DrPhilG

If anybody needs a single for the weigh ins let me know.

DrPhilG

Well I didn't get to Garcia's. Took a 1 train instead of a 2 by mistake and ended up losing 20 minutes correcting the mistake so I won't make it in time.

Any boards BJJ guys heading down tomorrow? I'm planning to do 3 classes tomorrow instead. Fundamental, open mat and advanced class.

Lol you doubt my mad skillz?

I did check by email, the advanced 1 is open to white belts with 6 months experience. The advanced 2 is blue belt only.

Also the fundamental class is first so I'll see how that goes.

They surely have to. If it changes can you post here please?

DrPhilG

Will do.

Doors due to open in 3 minutes.

The queue is starting to go pear shaped. Load of people have just started to queue into the side of the actual queue, bypassing half of those already there!

DrPhilG

I'm in. They ARE enforcing the seats.
