Well I'm still on hold for this, hoping fares go down. But now w/ the new UA policy hoping I can hold upgrades. Thank gawd I have some allocated for Jan. But need fares to go down. Then I'm in.
United, NEW POLICY SUCKS re: the reserved category. What the HECK were you all thinking????!!!!
Shanghai (in Feb) still looking ugly however for fare. Keep fingers crossed.

Hotel rates
Here are some hotel rates for 15-17 JAN 2005:
Conrad- S$180 (US$105) for the first night and S$220 (US$128) for the second night; Refundable rates
Sheraton- S$215 (US$125), Refundable rate
Intercontinetal- S$150 (US$87), non-refundable rate; S$170 (US$99), Refundable rate
I've stayed at the Conrad and Sheraton before. I've been consistently upgraded as a HHonors Gold at the Conrad and have been given a junior suite at the Sheraton as a Platinum Preferred. Personally, I like the Conrad better because it is more well-kept than the Sheraton.

At the moment, I'm holding a Hilton reservation for the 1st night and the Conrad thereafter. However, last year, eagle eyed violist spotted a 3rd night free rate at the Conrad. Ever one for a bargain, I'll stay there all three nights if they do so again this year.

free weekend nights
Sure, there are - but for many participants, the free weekend nights are restricted to categories 1-4 this time. So forget about the St. Regis
