I haven’t stayed at any of the local airports near Long Beach as we Ubered directly to DL upon landing but I remember there was a Holiday Inn very close to the airport. Looking at Google maps there’s also a Marriott close by. I’m sure there’s a few others. We arrived mid morning and there was no traffic. If the cost is the same I’d fly into LGB.
I agree. I like the idea of the smaller airport so I think that’s what we will do.
No experience but that TWA has been reviewed by like all flying bloggers and my takeaway is always “don’t stay there”.
if you arent a card holder its been greyed out recently people think there is a bug in the site, (this seems to happen once a year when they revamp the program)I did this for a recent trip I had 2 tabs open the original flight was on one screen other had the older flight. be careful though sometimes the price is for 1 ticket vs. two or 3.
delta and jetblue imo are the biggest out of BOS . if you have status you can get a nice deal with JetBlue (If its still going not sure if it passed). Delta is going to cost more. I might just get a CSR card and call it a day if you aren't locked into any brand.
I'm glad to hear there is a new hotel near JFK. There were no good options when I needed a room last May. I don't know anything about the TWA hotel. However, there is no way I would choose a hotel with worse ratings over a brand new hotel, especially if the one with poor ratings cost that much more.
If I remember correctly, they do not post instantly (but that might have been them refunding my cash to an e-credit) . I would call and try to change it through a phone agent.
Welcome! One of the most important things to remember about earning the CP is that you can only hold one personal card in the SW family of cards. So you either have to get 1 personal and 1 biz card, or do a modified double dip (MDD) for two personal cards. An MDD is when you apply for one card and then apply for a second card the next day. Two biz cards is also an option.
I have always had to cancel and rebook. My points are always returned instantly. I usually have to log out and log back in, but they have always been there right away.
Yes, you can combine the points with his Ink (CIC,CIU or preferred, just not Premier). If you look through the menus when you’re in the rewards section, you’ll see “combine points” (someone else might be able to chime in with better detail on where it is - I always have to hunt around and they recently moved it).
Mine posted very quickly, too. We usually have at least a couple of Delta flights, and even if we don't check bags it's nice to have the 15% off point bookings
Awesome, thanks! I realize that we won't get as good a redemption value without his points being used through a sapphire, but if it really looks like it will be a greater than $95 deal, we can always get him a new account right before we take our trip next year... won't have a bonus, but oh well... and who knows, maybe when he goes to cancel they'll throw us an offer (fingers crossed...)
I would get the CSP if you can meet the SUB requirements and handle the $95 AF. Then (after meeting the CSP SUB) I would get the CFU and/or CFF (not at the same time if you get both). Make sure you space this all out if you choose to get more than one card over a period of time.
