Now I'm just bored. Added UC access and it would be good to get a hotel list going.

Don't seem to have access to the wiki.

I'm outbound from IAD on 2, 9, and 16, all same day turns, have *G.

Too bad I missed out on the 23rd, looks like quite the group!

I think your dates are entered correctly. Please double check.

Indeed. keep in mind some of these are not mileage runs. Not taking the immediate return wouldn't quite qualify in the purest sense.

I am on an immediate turn but the hotels mentioned in the destination forum are the Holiday Inn Express for price and the Diplomat for nice.

See you on the 16th! Before the schedule change and my resultant immediate turn, I was booked at the Holiday Inn Express (HIX). They have a rate that includes airport pick-up and drop-off. Within about 8 hours of my booking a room there, they emailed me for flight info. Very prompt service. Felt bad that I had to cancel -- I would have loved to stay for at least one night.

See you in the *G lounge on the 16th. Are you on the LH flight through FRA on the 17th?

I'm assuming each group will do some kind of check-in (those that want to, anyway) shortly before the trip. We can help non-UC folks get in and rest before the trip, and support each other's crazy ways on the flight itself, when we get restless.

Confirming on the 16-17!!!

YOU GUYS!!!!! You are making me wanting to book an actual Thanksgiving vacation. I could use the Plat.

Does anyone know if I received global entry and I make plat the same year, I will still get the same refund?

Added myself and added a ++ notation for access to Priority Pass Lounges (in KWI and BAH). Perhaps there are others?

As for hotel, as I am not doing an immediate turn and have been to Manama before, I am strongly considering continuing on to Doha for 2 nights. Anyone else need the letter "Q" for their passport?

Yay! I am still winning the contest for 'Who can give United the longest interest-free loan'.....

Actually, when I booked this, it was pretty much the latest return possible. So I may hang onto this title for the entire season. Yippee!

I'm in.

LAX-SFO-IAD-KWI-BAH on 11/30, the reverse on 12/1 to stay Gold (no access, either to the KWI/BAH clubs or the wiki).

Thanks to the OP!

I don't think I have enough posts to edit the wiki, but here are my dates:

11/16 X-IAD-DXB

11/23 BAH-IAD-X (36K)

Also, I am staying at the Bahrain Sheraton on the 22nd. I'm willing to share my platinum breakfast amenity, if anybody wants. On the 16th, I will be in IAD from 3-6:30pm. Could anybody share their club access? It would be much appreciated.

(I couldn't get the dates I wanted out of LAX, so my itinerary is a little different)

Technically speaking no, they give you CC info and you pay with that.
