So the closest IMAX to NH is the Conneticut Post 14 in Milford - I'm fairly certain it will be showing Avatar in the high frame rate format as it uses a single laser projection. From my understanding the more "advanced" dual projection theaters aren't able to project in 48 fps. However I'd ask / read reviews about whether the HFR is worth it as I've seen on reddit some people saying it's pretty jarring when it switches between 48/24 FPS.

While not IMAX my fav theater is the North Haven cinemark - not too busy and huge comfy seats

There can be a few gotchas like for registering an out of state vehicle, you may need a CT emissions test. I recommend calling in: 860-263-5700 , you might be on hold an hour but I think it's worth it to go through your exact situation to make sure you have everything you need for your appointment

There’s too much to list. My latest top choices for new spots:

Rockfish, sushi. Menya Gumi, ramen. Hachiroku, izakaya. Atticus Market, sandwiches and such. Munchies, subs. Fair Haven Oyster, seafood. Luke, special occasion dining. Tacos Los Gordos. Tibetan Kitchen.

The 2 Yale galleries are world class. Go to East Rock Brewing. Incredible sushi next door (Rockfish), but closed Monday.

I’d do Modern for pizza. Less crazy wait, open on Monday’s. Nolo is another option if you want NO wait.

Lots of other good food too, just depends on what you want.

I registered a car I bought this past March. I believe I went on their website and followed instructions for new vehicle registration. I printed and filled out the necessary forms, then was able to schedule an appointment online. When I went to the appointment in Hamden, I was issued a number. I was called up within 15mins of arrival and was out of there in under 30mins total. As long as you have all the necessary paperwork filled out before hand, the appointment is the way to go and is a vast improvement on turnaround time compared to even 3 y-4 years ago. And just a heads up...the taxes are calculated based on the Kelley Blue Book value of the car, not what you paid for it. The car I registered was a gift from my grand uncle, so I didn't pay for it. However since he is not considered immediate family by CT law, it was not able to be recorded as a gift. Therefore I was taxed on the full value of the car and owed just under $1100 in taxes to register it. Good luck!

You have to download the forms. You can't walk in without a appn. They'll give you forms and help you fill them out during your prescheduled appn. They want you to at least look at the applications so you'll be prepared with all documents you'll for a successful appn. If your missing anything you'll have to schedule another appointment. You can't leave and come back if you forgot something.

Thank you, you as well! We emailed them, immediately after we got home. And, we were able to get through to customer service at the same time at 1am and they started the refund on the tickets themselves, but said we would need to call back for the luggage we paid for and to try to get reimbursement for any expenses. My wife or I have yet to reach them successfully since that night, despite a few hour+ stints waiting on hold. The man hours we are putting into having our money returned...and, the horrible waiting music.

Though email takes a while, at this point I’d email as well. It’s been almost a week, so that’s got to be frustrating.

I hear you—I had to stay in florida for those two days and I spent so much money because everything is expensive in the airport. Wish I was refunded for that and transportation costs. I emailed them Saturday with some complaints and haven’t gotten an email back, which I predicted. Hope your issues get resolved soon.

My wife has been on the phone with them. The other comment about a 3rd party was referring to the day of the flight - the only people present at the airport to seek answers from were 3rd party contractors. My wife was a Saint, waiting on hold for hours with customer service, getting disconnected, waiting again and then relaying the info to everyone in the terminal. I'm hoping they will take care of it. It's frustrating waiting for hours and then having to give up because I don't have 2 hours to wait on hold...between the two of us calling, I'm hoping we get reimbursed. I'm going to ask them to compensate me for my disgusting $60 terminal pizza, too, lol. If they're going to cancel my trip to New Haven and hold me captive in an airport terminal for 14 hours with crappy pizza, it should be on their dollar.

You should call their customer service. I see in your other comment that you spoke with some 3rd party? But I’ve called Avelo multiple times and was able to speak to someone and get fixed whatever it was.

I think my flight credits in September came 3-5 days later, it was an automatic email to everyone on the flight. That’s just the credits though, I never fly with bags so I’d assume you have to call. Email takes a while to get a response, I sent them proof of my hotel stay when I was stuck at MCO and took exactly a week to get a response that they would refund that. They refund up to $150/night I think. They refunded it back to the credit card though I think, didn’t send me a check or anything.

They will probably be busy right now if weather is affecting any of their flights, but it’s definitely worth waiting on hold to try and get money back for your bags.
