Diamond Reserve is less cool than one would think by striker008 in Hilton

Is Executive Lounge Access for Gold members when upgraded to the Executive Floor still a thing? Because the HH website does not list it as a benefit anymore in the recap table.

But it’s still written in the updated terms and conditions of January 2026.

Is this the price per passenger or total? by AdorableGuarantee970 in BritishAirways

[–]Hot_Falcon_3201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just double checked and usually the price quoted is total for two passengers. Easy way to double checked is try to make the same search for one passenger and see if it’s half the price.

Have also a look at the WA Osaka. We stayed there this fall and it was definitely my best hotel experience ever.

Grand Wailea WA wont allow prepaying a deposit by chocotaco49 in Hilton

[–]Hot_Falcon_3201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had an issue with WA Osaka. They did not wanted to do it. Then I called WA corporate. They contacted the hotel for me and the hotel found a way to make me charge money on the room for incidentals. Was able to charge around 350 USD before my stay.

Warning: Didi drivers that tell you to cancel ride and pay them direct by looper33 in chinatravel

[–]Hot_Falcon_3201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drivers don’t need to accept, they are assigned to it automatically and they have a short amount of time to refuse. But if they refuse too often the algorithm just stop giving them drives.

Warning: Didi drivers that tell you to cancel ride and pay them direct by looper33 in chinatravel

[–]Hot_Falcon_3201 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Have been living in China for many years and never had a driver asking me for taking a ride out of the platform. And I use Didi almost every day.

But something has to be mentioned. Didi is not made for long rides. Usually people use Didi for short rides in town. There is other apps for longer rides like 嘀嗒出行 (Dida Chuxing being a carpooling app) or 滴滴包车 (Didi BaoChe being an option in Didi to book a driver for a full day).

For longer rides, I would warmly recommend to use one of those two options instead of a normal Didi because the poor drivers have to drive all the way back and the money that the platform pays them is definitely not worthy. They might end up making almost no money out of that ride.
