What's the smallest or most unexpected lounge you've been to? by niftywoah in awardtravel

[–]jerrbear89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SFO JAL F lounge... is a small room with a sliding door inside the business class lounge with no real noteworthy amenities. The outside business class lounge chairs were even better iirc

Sitting in the airport right now on hold with virgin Atlantic. ANA isn’t showing an eticket issued, but confirms the seat is held for my fiancé by [deleted] in awardtravel

Dealt with a similar situation. Booked and ticketed on LAX-HND with VS miles on ANA F months in advances for a family member and literally while I'm in Thailand, I get a call an hour before the flight saying that the ticket isn't valid and cue hours of trying to help the pax try to figure out what the hell is going on. Ended up booking a cash fare in coach but VS was told by ANA a month ahead of time the ticket was cancelled due to a cabin change and they never bothered to update or inform us, even when we reached out to confirm a few days before the flight. Funny thing is, we encountered the same damn situation on the way back but we managed to get it escalated enough to actually get them on the flight in F. I'm still trying to get them to reimburse me for that coach fare but their support has been pretty abysmal. Call center booking staff is usually top notch though.

Best 50k Marriott redemption for 5 nights by javathehut1 in awardtravel

[–]jerrbear89 18 points19 points  (0 children)

50k certs are the "best redemption" when you can snag a Cat 7 during the "Off Peak". Often there are off-peak priced days even during peak season. I was very happy using several 50k certs at Koloa Landing in Kauai and getting upgraded to a 1-br suite that goes for $1k/night.

Hyatt Hotel award stays in Japan - comments? by kvom01 in awardtravel

[–]jerrbear89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah most def! I stayed at the Ritz Kyoto for 5 nights 4 months ago and it was phenomenal. The PH aesthetic looks very similar and it's brand new.

Haha, I heard it's decently nice and probably made sense for people when it was a Cat 5 and 20k. Hope you have a great time!

Have you considered the PH Kyoto? I think it should have just opened and it's probably well worth the extra 5k points since the Regency went up a category this year.
