Yeah , It was plat benefit.
The LM BKK offers free breakfast, free Internet and a Creative 2 Hours at the bar (Basically open bar from the cocktail menu)

^ We definitely had our share of bibimbap as well! We had to catch the KAL bus back to ICN at 10am on this particular morning, so we decided to take it easy and just have breakfast at the hotel.

Did you visit the spa at the W? We both got owned by Korean masseuses on our first night in Seoul - I was in pain for a few days after that one. Fortunately, the spa at the LM Khao Lak made up for it!

I need to become a Starwood Plat. Had I been able to structure my stays differently this year, I would only be about five stays short of Plat. But, most of my stays this year have been at Marriotts.

I can come over with a wrecking bar :p :p :p

I recently had a similar :rolleyes: experience with a shower valve that was installed incorrectly by :eek:ur contractor two years ago. After it all fell apart I figured out the proper way to put it back together. The addition of a little lock-tite means I won't have to fix it again for a long time :p

No. I only used the Korean Baths at the W. Teh :rolleyes: used the Spa. I thoroughly enjoyed my Spa treatments at the LM Khao Lak. I damn near fell asleep during my beach massage sessions.

I am sitting next to guy who I am almost 100% sure has swine flu.

About the PDX flights, I had to refund my ticket last night because of am implementation that has to be carried out that weekend to minimize downtime. I'm a little ticked about it because the communication for the project has been atrocious.

Can the DL Plat SWUs be used on flights operated by NW? I guess in a few months it won't matter, but I'm curious... Everyone says these things are basically useless but I am determined to get some sort of value out of them!

I just realized that I earned 4k flex EQM last month :p

B6's footprint is too large for "regional", IMO. If one can get from NYC to Northern South America one-stop all on their metal, it would be hard to convince Teh Powers That Be that B6 would operate within the alliance along the same lines as Blue1 or Adria.

There's no waiver procedure for well-intentioned or historical uses? Civil War re-enactors can't bring muskets? Or, perhaps more realistically, an officer recruiting table of one of the armed services can't have a rifle on the table as an attention-getter? :rolleyes: to both of those denials.

Agree totally. I wonder what icurhere2's office would have said to my old airshow display trailer...one 500-pound bomb, one 2,000-pounder, an AIM-9 and an AIM-120.

Go get some trigger time instead. @:-)

NW Plat SWU's can be used to upgrade DL flights (just used some recently to upgrade DL flights), so I assume that DL SWU's can be used to upgrade NW flights. I would check with someone who knows more about DL than I do, however, to be sure.

That might wreck the tile in the other bathroom which I know is done right since I did it. Thing thing is so old that it doesnt' show up in the parts part of the website. I might just take the sawzall to it tomorow.

As a primarily leisure traveler, you are exactly the sort of :rolleyes: (like myself) who could milk the SPG Plat program for all it is worth (by targeting their phenomenal array of high-end leisure properties for not much money or points). There are low-category, amazing value (both $$$ and points) properties in places like the Western Cape, Khao Lak, Vanuatu, Langkawi, Turkey, etc., that definitely merit :-::-::-::-::-:

Also, if most of your qualifying stays fall on weekends, when all teh biz travelers are home, you will find upgrade rates to be :D

I should have stuck to the Korean Baths... The woman asked if the pressure was OK and I was in so much pain all I could get out was a grunt. I convinced myself that if I endured the pain, I'd feel better when it was all over. How :rolleyes: of me...

We didn't do the beach massages at the LM KL but visited Le Spa a few times. The warm stone therapy was one of the best spa treatments I have ever received. With 50% off all treatments as part of our villa package, it was hard to stay away from the place!

Like you need more EQM's. ;)

I'm curious, what route did you use them on? Do you feel like you got some decent value out of them?
