While not cheap, burning points for the Conrad Hilton is well worth it in my opinion. Also you are basically two blocks form a very central train station and also from the shopping that SFOGate mentioned!!

Already booked the NRT Airport Hilton with points for the night before the return flight. Will probably figure out some way to abuse Priority Club next.

Ok. I would suggest going over to the NRT Mistake fare forum and ask around there as I know that several people on the fare used that as their turn hotel. I don't know much about it!

My philosophy is international trips involve miles and hotel awards / points - the out-of-pocket cost can then be excused.

Good idea - I'm just keen on burning off those HHonors points ;)

Once upon a time when I had juice with Priority Club I stayed at the IC Tokyo Bay over New Years. Highly recommend it.

Greetings Box,

Just woke up, got home on the redeye from SFO this morning. It was an uneventful flight, except for the buzz saw in row 5 who kept the entire FC cabin awake. I was in 1A and he was in 5F and I could hear him like he was right next to me. His seat mate kept prodding him and he would stop for a few minutes, then start up again. I've been on plenty of flights with snorers, but this guy was about the loudest I've ever encountered.

But Plus1 is golfing, not flying today ;)
