    AZ jab followed by 2 Pfizer or Moderna jabs?

    in COVID-19 Coronavirus

    We were in the same dilemma until today!  I'm scheduled for June 16th to get the AZ jab.  Now reading that may be delayed, and same with the 2nd shot!  Forget it.  Pulled the trigger and going back to the US for our Pfizer shots.  Tired of waiting here for them to get their act together.

     

    Best of luck to you!  Love all the help you provide on this forum.  It's much appreciated.

    I’m going Jun 17 I hope Japan remains open for transiting

    I understand that mixing vaccines may even be a good idea. I heard it on French TV this morning from a French doctor who reports regularly on the latest news regarding the pandemic. He said each vaccine boosts the immune system, whichever it is and using 2 different ones would do the job of protecting you.

    Obviously if you are so "sure", there shouldn't be any problem posting a list of the countries that do not recognise Sinovac.

    I won't be holding my breath as you are spreading misinformation based on speculation over vaccine passports and the WHO emergency use listing. That speculation may well come to an end this week.

    You didn’t see Prayut getting Sinovac

    Europe won’t let you enter with Sinovac and I’m sure many more it’s inferior garbage

    What apps are essential for traveling?

    They are correct, it's not BS.  Many hotels won't let you book direct.  I've been in hotel lobbies, at the front desk, and told to use an app.  I get the best price that way rather than the rack rate.

     

    Some hotels will let you book direct, but they tend to be the smaller ones.  Even then, not all will do it.

     

    I'd prefer to book direct, but most of the time, impossible to do.  Marriott is OK, but you need to join their program.  Similar to other large hotel chains.

     

    Apps/sites like trivago, tripadvisor, etc, can find you some great rates.  You'll see a variety of different rates depending on the app/site.

     

    I spend 6 months a year in hotels.  All over the world.  Been doing this for over 20 years.  This is my personal and recent experience.

    Thank you Jeff , you just can’t tell these old timers the time of day , I have sat in lobby’s too many times to mention booking the hotel I’m sitting in , we cannot offer you that rate

    What a load of BS. I literally spent 1994 - 2016 traveling the globe, mostly staying in hotels. Yes, 16 years of which were in the 21st century.

     

    The reason why these apps make money is because they rely on fools who are unable to develop personal working relationships with hotel groups and their subsidiaries. I can speak of numerous hotel managers who would rather not have anything to do with hotel booking sites/apps - yet they have to because these stupid apps have become ubiquitous. Then there's the relentless torment of unregulated 'review' sites which are populated by entitled wannabes who wanted 10x what they could afford.

     

    Of all the hotels with whom I have made a direct booking, none of them have been "banished" in accordance with your silly, demented notion of the 21st century. In reality, they have been more than willing to accept my reservation and direct payment.

    I was doing 100,000 miles a month for 7 years , CR to Asia I’m Not going to argue with you it’s a dead horse to me , you guys believe what you want to believe, but if a booking site catches you , your ........Try that technique after Covid they are bending rules now , but your clueless and won’t listen to facts

    But surely, if you win the case, then they have to cover your legal fees? Maybe I am mistaken?

     

    I've only rented once in Thailand, an apartment in Bangkok. I paid a deposit, lived there for 6 months then had to go back to the UK for work. I just took my stuff, left, gave the keys to my girlfriend who was living with me and said if you can get the deposit back then it's yours. Although I dumped her shortly afterwards because I was not very impressed with having a toaster thrown at me just because I came home late from the snooker club, so I still don't know if they returned the deposit.

    A toaster at least she wasn’t serious
