DCA, HP Q's from a Freshly-Minted HP Gold
Hi all,
I've just status-matched my way to HP Gold. I fly out of WAS to California several times a month and am sick and tired of IAD w/UA, and if I'm going to make a connection I would rather be smoking like a fiend inside a PHX restaurant than flying AA via DFW and going outside to do so. Questions: Does gold carry any weight on HP? As DCA is my home airport, what are my odds of seeing any upgrades to PHX? What does the HP FF plan have over UA and AA's FF plans? Any suggestions on loud, fun bars in Tucson? I'm heading there next weekend. Thanks in advance, Bill |

OK, I found the answer after digging through Sky Harbor's website. From the FAQs...
Is smoking allowed at Sky Harbor? Answer: Smoking is allowed in designated cocktail lounges and restaurants in the gate areas at Sky Harbor. There is one smoking area per concourse at Sky Harbor. The airport also has two smoking lounges, one in Terminal 2, and one in Terminal 4. Smoking is also permitted outdoors in designated areas on the curbs. |
Smoking is allowed in Phoenix--in designated areas only, i.e. the waaay overpriced Fox Sport Bar or that Mexican restaurant that is similar in T4.
Although I've only flown Dulles back to Phoenix, and considering I've never been upgraded as a plat on those flights, I would say your upgrade chances out of Reagan National to PHX are zero to none. |
Smoking, drinking, loud music. Sounds like you party hard. :D

You'll also only earn 500 miles for an online booking bonues compared to 1000 on AA. Don't expect any real mileage promo's either. HP has the sorriest promos of all the US airlines. [/QUOTE] |
[QUOTE=ByrdluvsAWACO]Ever since HP stripped the program down, FlightFund has become pretty lame. As a gold you'll only earn 50% flight bonus versus the 100% Golds used to earn. Pray in thanks that you're not Silver(25%)]
But hey now, HP won the 2004 Freddies for "Best Elive Level"! :rolleyes: :td: |
Winner winner winner
