Thanks MSP for the information. I don't see PLS on the pre-clearace list (frankly I didn't know there was such a thing so I learned something new here today). Someone else suggested the Kimpton to me and to take their shuttle directly to/from International terminal. I was trying to make the Marriott work for the points. Would the Kimpton be a more direct option? Could I jump on their shuttle directly to/from the international terminal?
