A question for my knowledgeable board mates.

What happens if you have ressies and don't show up on your check in day? Let's look at this situation. Flying from Boston in Feb. with a connection in Pittsburgh. What if you miss a connection and can't call the hotel? What if you get snowed in? Can they give away the room, even though you have in a sense prepaid?

TIA

Since the reservation points will be considered spent on check-in day, I'd assume the room will still be available for you. I'd also STRONGLY suggest calling the resort to confirm your intent to come (or not)- even if you will lose the points.

Hopefully, you would be able to find a telephone at the airport in Pittsburgh if you miss a connection.

Good Luck with the flight!

HI,
Nothing to do with ressie but noticed you fly out of logan. If you are planning on going to orlando (MCO) after 4/23/02 - then I suggest you check out American Airlines website - Flights from 4/23/02 until at least 12/07/02 are $110./pp RT nonstop (this inludes taxes etc) We got 6 tickets (3 for mid jul and 3 for 1st wk dec) total cost $660.

They hold the room and they charge you the points. You should keep the front desk number handy and call if at all possible should there be a problem. DVC considers things on a case-by-case basis so if there were some catastrophic event like a major blizzard and you called, they might consider reinstating your points.

yasuern..........

Just curious...I just checked the AA site and the cheapest they gave me was 220 rt bos-mco in September. Was this a special promo?

I had this happen to me on my first DVC trip. We were on the last flight of the night and it got cancelled. When we got back home that night I call BW, MS was closed, and told them. I lost my points for the night but the good thing :) was that our room was ready when we arrived early the next day.

To all that may have read about American Airlines great deal on roundtrip nonstop boston to orlando - I am sorry to report this fare is gone. I purchased our tickets on 1-27-02 and thanks to another DVCer rechecked the fares on AA website and the lowest fare RTNS was $220. I posted a new thread on this board and as stated in that one I check the airline websites often and if I see any deals I will post them from now on the same day I see them
Sorry
