With Delta's alliance with SPG, it's unlikely that they would get pulled in as the hotel option for OWMD2 and instead would be likely for STMD. Would it remain with Hyatt to cover both Star and OW Do's or does it make sense to pull in one of the bigger chains (Hilton, Marriott, IHG) or maybe a smaller growing chain that wants to highlight their properties (e.g. Kimpton).
Parker was very welcoming to those of us on the SMD3 with a nice outdoor brunch near PHX. He held a good give-and-take Q and Q and lavished us with lots of swag and nice ecological US carry bags. Suspect this will be a positive for an OWMD2 should it ever happen...just not PHX in July or August please!!!!!!!!!!!
Phoenix in July would be great... lots of mattress run opportunities for everyone. The host hotel could be a Hyatt but it could be worth it to MR to Hilton, Marriott, SPG &/or IHG props depending on the promo or the stay/night need.
Having just spent a few days in South Australia where it hit 40-celcius not pretty...and with 200 MPers running around a similarly sweltering Arizona desert at the height of summer and 100-ferenheit temperatures, not something I'd look forward to!
Just remember, as bad as PHX can be in the summer, I can guarantee that the domestic portion of the SkyTeam Megado can be lethal if they do ATL in the summer
Edited to remove any further embarrassment. Can only blame the smog in Shanghai for blinding me to what thread I was posting to...
and may be the second best thing to flying AirParker, especially once the employees realize they got out of the frying pan and into the fire. Sent from my iPhone using milepoint
Ooops, wrong thread...but AA now has E+ on its 757s, its new 777s, most 737s and is rolling it onto other planes.
I didnt know 737 had MCE. "You can currently purchase a Main Cabin Extra seat on 767-300, 757 and 777-300ER aircraft" - link
With all the new and upcoming ow airlines possibilities for a great OWMD seem to be endless...! Hope something will materialize for 2013!
