I'm looking/hoping for s/o with HH points to do me a favor by putting a reservation on hold, and then transferring it to me once my points post. I'm hoping to snag s/t at Conrad b/f it dries up.

PM if you can help

Saw on the FT thread that the WA might be joining IHG (he heard it from a staffer).
Imagine it on a PointsBreaks :)

That will never happen, but still that's good news if true.

@AJK
Do you know more details about the lounges at ADU? If flying biz class, are you given access? How about coach? Is it open 24hrs?
Could an overnight be pulled off somewhat comfortably?
And does one need to go through customs?

I'm looking into TLV - AMM - ADU - MLE
And it's a great price. 35/50/70.

Problem is, no extra stopovers, and an overnight in each direction.

ADU or AUH?

Assuming AUH, I'd try and do as close to 24 hours as possible. There are some very cool things to see if you leave the airport

My bad. AUH.
I would be uninterested in ADU.

Of course you would get lounge access if flying Business Class.

I'm pretty sure that the lounge is open 24 hours.

Also if given the choice, take Etihad over Royal Jordanian for AMM-AUH.

Ha!

@Reuven -- I can't tell you what J lounge is like in AUH, but like damaxer91 said, it is open 24 hours.

I'd either (a) just pay the 70K and fly F which will increase your odds of getting admission to the F lounge - it's a treat, and you'll have a place to stay, or (b) increase the length of your layover so you can sleep in a Hyatt and explore.

Unfortunately for me increasing my layover in AUH wasn't possible, as I arrived JFK-AUH at 8:00PM and they only have one AUH-MLE flight a day at 9:20am, so no dice for me.

For those interested in BOB, MMS apparently just went there on his second honeymoon.

I do want to read his report, but if I have to see one more picture of his wife in front of some generic statue...

There's plenty on FT and TA if you are looking for various opinions on resorts, activities etc.

Why isn't NAN (Fiji) as popular a destination as the ones in the title/OP?

I noticed Fiji on the latest PointBreaks list and it got me wondering.
