It would reprice the whole stay if the nightly rate changes.

Thanks-

I already reserved 5 nights st regis ( 4 nights get  the 5th night free) would it make sense to make 1 more night @32k  on a new separte reservationd and decide 2 weeks before checkin if I want 5 nights or 6 nights? Then I could cancel the 6th night as a SEPARATE reservations?.

argh, the mrs./my mother won't allow a stopover in any arab cities (ruling out emirates, qatar and turkish airlines), now due to limited CX availability and a tight timeline my planned points-based trip ain't looking too great...

St Regis MLE is still alive, Just booked a separate 1 night @32K (It was an add on  to a 5 night stay)  wonder if they are using the low rate for Beta testers?!

Grab a hold of yourself and make an executive decision. Nothing will happen in the airport or on the airplane. It's totally safe. And this is coming from someone who went out after some convincing to his wife in Dubai and she is so happy I convinced her bec we had an awesome time.

We're planning to do the Cocktail hour.  I'm sure plenty of Muslims also couldn't have the champagne or weird canapés and even if you don't want to make a thing about kosher, it's at like 11AM and I'm sure others have asked for other food and drink...I'd want coffee and fruit at that time!

I advise you make a reservation already bec they are totally booked for our whole stay. Trying to get our hostess to get us in there even though it's fully booked. We are like all we need is 5 min and will pay the full price. She's like that's what everyone is asking for. Will see what happens.
