    Important lesson from this episode: Always be extremely polite to your gate agent (and other customer service workers) and they'll usually do their best to help you out. Don't be a dick regardless, since they're human beings and deserve respect, but especially don't be a dick when you need them to go the extra mile for you.

    The idea for the flop is very interesting but it transformed into burning thru tickets until i get a plane ticket, 3 episodes in and there were no other form of transportation than plane, i think it would be grate if the plane was in first two days to get out of Alaska and then there should be using more car/train tickets

    • @uonia

      It is a little bit boring that they are only traveling by plane for the most part, but I think part of the fun of Jet Lag is going to all sorts of different places and doing wacky things, giving an opportunity to explore the world in a unique way, and having to burn through cards by doing a bunch of challenges allows for them to do that. The Flop also allows for more strategy than the random cards and points system in previous seasons. It needs a bit more work balancing the different forms of transportation, but I think it could work well if done right.

    This is another reason why I don't believe they shouldn't be able to just discard a card once they are able to claim a new one. They should HAVE to have an open spot, and if they do not, they MUST use the ticket before they can get a new ticket. This way it becomes a bit more competitive. They got this ticket while Ben and Adam were in the air, and while yes, Ben and Adam did the same thing, they had a slot open to be able to, it was a calculated risk for them to go on the flight when it was available.
