An empty stainless-steel tumbler is fine in carry-on or checked bags; any drink inside must meet the 3.4 oz liquid limit at the checkpoint. You bought the Yeti for one reason: it keeps drinks cold or hot for ages. So it’s normal to want it with you on travel day, right up to your seat.

Yes, Delta lets you add checked bags after check-in if you pay the fee and drop them before your airport’s bag cutoff time. You check in, pull up your boarding pass, and then a suitcase shows up in the plan. Maybe you bought gifts, your carry-on won’t zip, or a friend hands you a duffel

Many airlines skip the number 13 on seat maps, yet some keep it, so the presence of a 13th row depends on the carrier and aircraft. You book a flight, open the seat map, and something feels off: row 12 jumps to row 14. No error message. No explanation. Just a missing number. This post

No, Chase points don’t transfer straight to Japan Airlines, but you can still book JAL flights by using Chase Travel or partner programs. You’ve got Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you want Japan Airlines (JAL), and you want a clean “transfer points → book seat” move. That direct move isn’t on the menu. Chase doesn’t offer
