Okay. I'm arriving the same day. STL-IAH-SJU arriving at 4:30pm I think.

CO 212 on the last segment? If so, we're in 4EF. At the moment, only my daughter is flying in with me, so probably room for one more in the taxi, if anyone wants to share.

Boxo: EF showing: C3 D3 Z3 R3 Y7 H7 K7 M7 N7 B0 O7 V0 U7 Q0 I0 S0 W0 T0 X0 L0 I'm not sure how CO is on standby reward tickets. Fingers crossed!

Not mandatory, but certainly an expensive late check-in. :D

Standard CO seats available!
 

I just checked nwa.com, and didn't log in. It showed availability for Standard FC/Biz tickets for IAH-SJU for the 10:21am (CO212) flight. I don't know if you want to blow the miles or not.

14% resort fee
 

I was checking Hilton.com and just priced out my stay on there. I notice that on new reservations, they now have a big red notice that the prices don't include a 14% resort fee. Are they going to try and pull that, or was it included in the booking before?

All I see on my original res is 9% tax, plus $5 per person secondary tax.

I also see that my first nights rate is now $20 lower. Should I ask for a refund for that night? :D

I will be staying in PR for a while, plus I will be with friends, so a car is a must for me.

We will be in the back on that glorious 5 hr flight to SJU. But looking forward to leave the 20 degree weather from Missouri.

I'm sure they will charge the resort fee, not sure about an extra tax.

Yes, but if you have a prepaid reservation, and it's been paid for 10 months, they shouldn't be able to charge you any extra.

We could always try and do a gate upgrade at IAH for anyone else on the flight. :)

I'm not going to argue with them about it, I already got an excellent deal on the hotel, what's an extra couple of bucks.

I'm on an award from Delta, I doubt an upgrade will be available to me.

We will see at IAH.

Count me in. Possibly +1. Anyone else get an email from their favorite Carribean hotel inviting them to eat breakfast downstairs instead of in the lounge?

;)

If the 14% is on the total charges, as of today, it could be sizeable. ;)

Is everyone who is going, doing so on a prepaid reservation?

I know of some people that are not prepaid, I think vysean is not prepaid. But at least I am.

pre-paıd!

Never been to one of the DO's before, but I will be in SJU Dec 29-Jan5 at the Marriott(scored a 7-night std award stay^. Would be nice to meet some fellow FT'ers :D Count me in!!!

ok,time to lock in a location/logistics.

anyone care to throw out the first suggestion?
