Flying an award ticket in F (well, domestic F seats) FWIW. Just carry-on bags.
I'm wondering about the Hyatt Regency versus the Grand Hyatt, in terms of convenience regarding our inbound and especially outbound flights.
Flying to BZE on AA, would anyone know whether we would be departing out of Terminal D, where I believe the GH is located? I realize that the HR is less expensive in terms of points or $$, and that it isn't much more difficult to access (through the parking garage) from inside the ariport. But since this is our first international trip since Covid, I'd like the trip to go as smoothly as possible. Also, I believe that Terminal D has the Amex Centurion lounge, which we'd probably access for breakfast since my Globalist status would have ended by ent.
As for the room/service itself, I realize that the GH is nicer, but for a pretty short overnight stay that's not so crucial. It's more whether there's much of a convenience difference between the two properties in view of our itinerary.
Thanks for any advice.
Both are fine for an overnight - honestly, the big benefit of the GH is the Globalist breakfast, which won't apply to you. I would save the money and or points. The distance and convenience factor between the two properties is often overstated, IMO. DFW is a very easy airport to get around, and so are the parking garages (as long as you aren't driving).
