I booked an economy class ticket (I think it was an S class ticket?) with a 23 hour stopover starting at 7pm. I called the Sydney office, and confirmed I was eligible for a hotel, but I'm curious where they'll put me up. If possible, I'd like to be a little more central to Seoul than right outside the airport (but also free hotel, hey!).
For me, there was no choice. The Howard Johnson was allocated on arrival at ICN. I believe allocation is based on availability at the time.
This was on a business class ticket.
