If you have a moment, perhaps you can post your thoughts on the Dead Sea thread. I’d be interested in knowing what you thought of the lounge, breakfast and F&B. Is the pontoon now open?

Maybe I should start asking as I can't recall the last time I was upgraded. Being a Diamond, and now a Lifetime Diamond, for so many years I guess I just go so used to being told that there were no upgrades available that I just stopped asking. One has certainly not been offered in a long time..

Hampton Inn
Burlington, Iowa
Booked three nights with points (30K/night), upgraded to a king suite at check in. It's not glamorous, but it's a new property (opened June 2018) with a good staff.

Waldorf-Astoria Orlando.
Upgraded from a deluxe two queen to a King Golf View Suite. This was presented to me at an early check in. I have to say I'm shocked in the best way. Such suite upgrades are very few and far between for me these days.

Waldorf Astoria The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai - UAE
Upgraded from King Deluxe Room with Skyline View to Waldorf Astoria Suite with Sea View. Was initially offered a 1-level upgrade to deluxe room on checking in but were given the option of waiting until 17.30 for the suite to become available and cleaned up.
We were not entirely happy with the buffet breakfast offering at Mezzerie (WA's all day-dining restaurant at Lower Ground) but thankfully we had access to the Pearl Club Lounge which was really the saving grace for this entire stay... With this stay, can definitely confirm that there are better Hilton offerings available in Dubai like the Conrad or Hilton Habtoor City, won't be returning to the WA in a hurry...

Conrad Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Booked 2 x King Deluxe Corner Rooms and received 2 x King Deluxe Suites on 42nd floor. Great stay as always with lovely staff looking after us - super convenient location for business and dining outside in the evenings...

Conrad Centennial Singapore. Booked 7 nights standard room reward (Deluxe King) for 3, upgraded to Executive King at OLCI. Asked politely about suite upgrade on arrival and got King Centennial suite for 3 of 7 nights. We’d already stayed in 2 other hotels on the trip, so switching rooms didn’t seem too much hassle for the family to enjoy a suite for a few nights.

Stayed two nights at Hilton park lane. Was offered a standard room on check in, as they were full and had no executive rooms available. After asking was given a one bedroom suite near the elevator.
stayed one night at Heathrow terminal four was upgrade to king executive a few days before. The day of check in I was upgraded to a very nice junior suite.
