Aww see I was hoping the room would only cost .01THB. I really cannot afford the 1THB rate. Oh well maybe next deal.

Online Reservation Guarantee

By securing your online reservation with a credit card, you are eligible for our Reservations Guarantee. If your reservation cannot be honored, the host hotel will provide a room at, and transportation to, another convenient and comparable hotel, and pay for telephone calls to notify family of the lodging change. The host hotel will also pay the full cost of the first night's lodging rate, plus tax. Any advance deposit will be refunded.


I just notice they only really guarantees the first night, not the entire stay. Maybe I am reading it too closely, but it looks like I won't be going afterall.

Is it worth making several consecutive bookings of one night each?

Don't forget, accomodation on Phuket can be ridiculously cheap. I've stayed there for 6 USD per night (granted, it didn't even come close to the Holiday Inn), but there are plenty of perfectly good accomodations available for about $20 per night. I would go anyway and hope for the best.

Is he really that famous? Well, for the record, you will still find him posting on the Swiss and Lufthansa boards every now and then.

Ooooh! Now that is interesting as they put great store on their 'trust us' guarantee.

(However, if you look at the fine print the guarantee is technically for only $100 if they do c*ck up - get them to reconfirm before you book any flights!

Although, thinking this through, you'll stand a good chance of having your reservation honoured if you combine it with a flight as a holiday package)

Fortunately, being a FA I don't have to worry much with the flight bookings
