I'm glad that there are so many of us at the Four Points. You'll be amazed at what a lovely hotel it is after drinking a couple "Mass"es of beer.

After four Mass, it's downright luxurious.

Question:
Does the 4Pts require booking directly with the hotel for Points bookings? I don't see the 8500pts rate anywhere.
Or I guess I can call the Plat Concierge.

TIA!

I did too... couldn't book it on spg.com but a 5 min call made it.

If all goes as planned and I find a good fare, I'll be there. Room is booked ^ I wouldn't like to miss a Gayla hosted by the fab olafman

Now off to Cowgirl for a couple of drinks with SeeYa

YEAH!

I'm so glad that people are booking early. Based on the FTers that I know personally, this is going to be a fun time!

I'm currently at the airport in MUC on my way to JNB on Emirates. I'll put together a YES-MAYBE list for the first thread!

WOMEN?!?!? WHERE ARE YOU!?!? MissyDarling PM'ed me saying that it's a bit far out for her to plan but would love to come.

Maybe by that time, you can use your CO/*A status/points and hop on our (AC's) comfy lie flats non-stop to MUC via YYZ

Olafman, I'm totally there (flight loads depending, of course)...

Us lowly golds can't find availability anymore at the 4 points. Boo.

I made a reservation at the Le Meridian instead at 10k/nt for now.

But that means I'll have to get on of those Jazz 'vest-less' flights out of EWR... would I risk it? [a330marcus, you know I'm kidding, right? LOL ]

That'll be cool, you are more than welcome to get me upgraded!!! ^

Does "Upgraded" on AC mean given a life vest at the gate on one of those CRJ-200's?

Olafman: this is on my radar, but I simply can't predict what October will bring.
