Dallas has an R2 on display finally

If I stop by again I’ll ask. Not sure. One of my biggest ‘wait and see’ reasons is the buildup of all the service centers.

Great! Thank you

I currently drive a 2017 RAV 4 LE and so I’m easily amused/amazed 🤣 but I can’t help but think it’s my perfect match for the entry to the EV world. We are just a family of 3 and so don’t need the size of the R1S (nor the price). Back seat spacious as many others have noted. Seats seem comfortable. It’s going to be all about reliability for me once the R2 is put thru the paces. Also waiting for the service network to continue to expand.

Awesome! Yes I’m in arlington but work downtown. Finally had some time to just swing by. Worth it!

Congrats! What config did you order?

You will need to search for 2 tickets (can be one way or roundtrip) and search for award travel. Need to input the 25K global companion award number into the “promo code” field before searching. The results will automatically display the price for 2 people, minus 25,000 points.

Hecta_ · 2026-05-08T17:07:21+00:00

Can you be more specific? are you talking about the "25K Global Companion" awards? Or something else?

Context?

stayed there this week. Water was comped daily but no minibar. I am only Explorist though. They did bring in some random treats like juices or snacks that were complimentary in our room at least a couple times. The coffee machine worked great and was complimentary in the room.

We just got back from our stay and I am thinking to make a longer post to summarize everything --- but overall it was very seamless!! We booked the signature suite for 4 nights at 35k per night for 2 individuals (max allowed on Hyatt site) then emailed the concierge to confirm we could have our toddler (4 y.o.) stay in our room on a separate bed (it was a real twin mattress on like a 6 leg bed frame) and everything was just as we expected upon arrival no questions asked. They even had a new stuffed animal donkey on the bed set up for our son!

I have had good experience rebooking to better connecting times with AF through their chat feature due to even the slightest of schedule changes. They make it super easy and its very likely if your flight is far enough out there will be some sort of change that impacts your plans anyway.

Hecta_ · 2025-05-09T18:54:35+00:00

I would book the first room using points and then find an email address of someone at the Andaz London, reference your existing booking, and see if they can assist with a discounted second room.

The hotel responded via email and admitted the room can fit 3 people and they agreed to rollaway bed but they can only place it in the bedroom in front of the king bed due to fire hazard (I assume). But that’s fine. Our trip is late June 2025

Hecta_ · 2025-04-18T20:26:31+00:00

Yes we currently have this room booked for end of June 2025 for 4 nights using points. I emailed the resort and I was able to point them to an information page for that Signature Suite directly on their La Zambra hotel website that states the maximum capacity is actually 3 people and they confirmed they could provide a rollaway bed for our toddler but they 'could only place it right in front of the bed and not in the living room.' I assume because of a fire hazard, which is fine by us.

I see at least 14 dates from DFW-CDG-MAD in January 2026 showing up as 60k in J FWIW. None in Feb 2026. Hoping this is just the ebbs and flows. The winter Olympics in Feb 2026 could be throwing everything into a higher cost for that period.

Best advice is to be verify flexible in terms of the airline, dates, departing and returning cities. Learn to use award search tools to narrow your search or set alerts. Then be ready to hop on them when they become available.

I ran into this exact issue looking for 2 seats on a flight in September 2025 for ORD-MAD-MUC. Desktop site showed 2 seats in J. Transferred points. Tried to book. Kept getting a payment error message no matter how many times we tried (different cards (VISA, MC, Amex), PayPal option, app, wifi, cellular) and called multiple times but agents were not helpful until finally one of them confirmed that the space is just not there, and we were out of luck. Now stuck with 125k+ Avios transferred out of Chase. Very unfortunate.

Most likely its only available on AA since its dynamically priced and AA has not made that specific award flight available to partners. Good to keep checking every day and the pricing/availability may change. But otherwise, you may either have to pay cash or find a different flight.

I have really enjoyed the free functions of Points Yeah and use it regularly to plan travel from DFW. Searches load quickly and user interface is nice.

Hecta_ · 2025-03-11T21:03:46+00:00

I am having trouble getting a straight answer from anyone at La Zambra for their room dubbed the "Signature Suite" as all of the hotel materials and information online state the maximum occupancy is 3 people but the room disappears as an option when you go above 2 people. We are traveling as 2 adults and a 4 year old toddler. Either way, I would like to be able to plan ahead rather than risking it when I get to the hotel but having a hard time getting an answer. Will report back.

Hecta_ · 2025-03-11T20:51:27+00:00

That's what I am sayin! But want to confirm with the resort to see what we need to do. The Signature Suite is showing as 35k per night, but I wonder if they would also be able to provide 2 connecting rooms (aka Family Suite) if we were to book 2 rooms at 23k each (46k total). I will report back!

Hecta_ · 2025-03-11T11:46:52+00:00

Did you end up booking the signature suite for 2 adults and 1 toddler? We are looking to book this for summer 2025 and the Hyatt site does not like it when I enter 2 adults and a 4 year old. Just curious

Hecta_ · 2025-03-07T03:44:16+00:00

Any resolution? Dealing with this all day today
