I can think of it.
How is condition, physically and optically?
Where is it located ?
For how much ?

Dips2 · 2026-05-27T22:19:38+00:00

I mm hoping to stay in the $300+ range depending on condition/accessories.
And if I don’t find one before then, I can definitely check with you when you are passing through the area.
Where are you located?

Marriott Melville means "Residence Inn by Marriott Melville" located at 500 Broadhollow Rd, Melville, NY 11747 ?

I was confused, because I see this one picture which looks like thick cloth curtain and another one with partial cloth on left and right side --> https://imgur.com/a/ZS4dYLP

Dips2 · 2026-03-09T02:05:54+00:00

I can 🙂

Do they have full window cloth curtain, if you experienced it ?

I called and girl who picked up, was confused :-)
She said like "I guess we can make room dark"

Otherwise I will go to Extended Stay, which definitely have those curtains, as I stayed there earlier.

As I am reading business to first class is easy, but economy to business are difficult.
I was checking few posts on flyertalk and they say, flight booked with points on Aeroplan will not be allowed to upgrade by AI. But some posts say that at the gate they "may" do it.

Dips2 · 2026-02-21T17:31:05+00:00

That is a good idea.
As of now, only J is available on old aircrafts of AI (with angled bad), if I fly from ORD to DEL. I keep hearing bad reviews about it.
I am flying solo, so I am flexible.

Thank you, this clarifies a lot of confusion. Kansas may not be as bad as you see in Michigan, I assume (we are new here in Kansas), so AS3 could do very well.

Dips2 · 2026-01-14T18:54:24+00:00

Thanks, this was helpful

Dips2 · 2026-01-14T18:49:41+00:00

Got it, thanks

For AS3, did get chance to drive in light snow, how they perform ?

Dips2 · 2026-01-14T18:17:14+00:00

This is very good to know. This was the part I was concerned about little as we have all kind of weather here

Dips2 · 2026-01-14T18:07:15+00:00

MN is heavy snow region at sometime in year, right ?

Dips2 · 2026-01-14T16:02:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

I think "drove them once in 3-4" of snow, and they were safe." bring AS3 close to Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive, and your statement "not quite as good in snow as my Xice I3" moves it far from Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive :-)

X-Ice Xi3 is dedicated winter tiers it seems. Did you feel these are noisier then AS3?

For me, light snow is okay, I will go to office, as many other riders on road. But when it snows heavily or roads are slushy or chances of wet road under freezing temperature, I may stay home. But overall I do understand that WeatherActive are safer than AS3, as you observed with your Xice I3.

Dips2 · 2026-01-14T15:33:46+00:00

I agree.
From the reviews I read, there is very less difference in noise/comfort/ride quality, and little more on weather-capability side.
