This is a thread to post where you are right now.

If you couldn't read the title and decided to just click it.



For easy reference, here’s Wikipedia’s list of airport codes. The list is too long for one article, so you have to click on the letter that the code begins with to get a list of airports that start with that letter.

Where Are You Posting From Now?
« Reply #140 on: July 04, 2012, 07:45:03 AM »
It wasn't at 10am in the morning when we checked in and not about to switch once we're situated with a crib and all.

Any way to confirm a slash suite before arriving at the hotel? I just booked my free suite nights at this hotel and they told me you can't.

Also can I at least confirm a room with a porch?

@dan please chime in :)

I doubt they'll confirm anything in advance, but to optimize suite upgrades just book one night at a time and arrive late.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

You mean book 2 sep. reservations for back to back nights instead of 1 2-night stay? That way they don't think I'm there for 2 nights and are more likely I upgrade and once I'm in, I'm in? (thinking out loud)

They know they won't be selling the suite or be giving it to a more important guest.
Then again if you're late you get less use out of it.

I thought the opposite, correct me if its wrong.
They have a note on my reservation that if there is availability for a suite upon checkin, they'll upgrade my free nights to a suite for a small fee.
So my guess was to arrive the earliest possible to maximize my chances.
Any chances?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

That is also how I would imagine it works in general. Same as a car rental... The early bird get the worm.

What I actually wonder is whether all these notes are worth the paper written on...
Maybe its just to make you feel good ("we're doing that for you since you're a Platinum member")

Why don't you just stand on check-in desk yelling and screaming how you broke their T&Cs while you're at it :P

It doesn't matter what the CSR calls it (especially because it won't be him/her who checks you in).

It matters what the T&Cs say.

Well, I certainly wish you the best of luck, and I am not saying it's impossible. All I'm saying is I don't think it'd be wise to ask to be checked in on more than one "guest" reservation.
