Anyone ever overnight in PPT? Where did you stay?

Top 2 options as I see it are the IHG Tahiti (7 min ride from airport) and the LM Tahiti (16 min from airport).

If that's the case, it's not true for this week, for example:

That's what I'm leaning towards. Happy with the choice?

So if you booked Econ with AA miles, would they let you upgrade to J 24-48 hours before if it opens for the diff in miles or is that only for AA flights?

Don't believe so.

Called and agent claimed only room available for C&P is for 30K + $600 per night (checked as far as July 2016)

Does that mean there are simply no rooms available at 16K + $270, HUCA'd but same answer


Also, does anyone know if Hilton weekend nights from Citi CC would book into the OWB or still need an upgrade?

Weird. Guess could be all out of availability. Definitely had that booked.

You're looking at LM BOB?
