I understand the Caledonian Hilton is a treasure, SD1K. May I ask, were you able to book it as an award stay?</font>
I booked it as a paid stay, at 100 GBP/night. May 1-5 are blocked out for award stays at this property, no doubt due to it being a long bank holiday in the UK. I am freshly minted Diamond. Does that give me the ability to book it as an award stay during blackout periods?
Don't forget that you can get a free ticket on BMI using your UA miles. I believe that the award "costs" 20K miles.
