If the bucket is available, you should see a yellow U icon at the time of booking.

And it will usually ask if you want the upgrade!

Sheraton or Westin in PVR? Both the same price.

I think Sheraton is better way to do it for you. I think it will be much cheaper. So why you don't try to find a real cheaper price on priceline.com and check it out.

Yeah, this is not good for you at all. You have try to get more extra sleep hours on the plane.

Which means that if I pick flights with the icon showing, no further action needed on my part?

Yeah, that is :rolleyes:. I booked a reward ticket and that's all that is available at the saverpass level. The return is the non-stop to EWR :-:

I will monitor the situation because I could use the EQM's, but I am just not going to spend $750 a ticket to PVR :rolleyes:

Based on the location, I'd go with the Westin. The Sheraton is closer to the downtown area, but the beach near the Westin is probably a bit nicer (although, I wasn't too impressed with any of the beaches I saw in PVR) and there are still enough things to do in the area.

NO!

Make sure you select the flights that show https://www.continental.com/web/en-U...grade_icon.gif "Elite Upgrade Fare" and then on the "Traveler Information" page, You must click on "Seat Selector" "Use seat selector to choose seats" and then check the "Upgrade" box on the next page for each segment you would like to be upgraded on.

I found teh Westin for $99 a night in August :eek:. I was thinking the Westin is more my style, but I always like to hear what others think.

GASP.... I am not a fan of priceline. I am totaly OK with using them for rental cars, but for the hotel, I would like to know what I am getting into.

G'night Box. I'm taking Roxy in for surgery tomorrow morning at 8am. The Vet is going to repair her hematoma in her ear. :(

Noted, thank you sir. ^^ Got a BBM to that effect as well.

LGA-SNA is all over the calendar, so I'm not booking anything tonight. Nice to know that it's so easy to find, at least for right now.

Night, Box.

I guess it is not a mistake as I first thought. :-:

Sounds like a pretty good deal! August should be nice and hot but you'll want to keep your fingers crossed that no hurricanes make it in to the area. :eek:

I made the mistake of going through the purchase too quickly and I did not upgrade one segment for the s/o. It is no longer available as an upgrade now of course. I am sure a plat on a B fare ont he 545am should not have a problem though.

Two things you do not do in Mexico. Get a priceline hotel and tattoos.
