Just reading through the APA agreement (basis for the upcoming JCBA), I came across the Lodging section. It looks like there's no language for long/short layovers. Furthermore, the section specifically states hotels need NOT be downtown.

I'm wondering how this actually plays out in terms of your hotels. Do you guys get many actual downtown layovers or are you mostly staying out by the interstate? Conversely, do you end up staying 35 minutes from the airport on 10.5 hour overnights?

To be clear, I'm neither b***ing nor bragging: Airways had long/short language but it was basically ineffective. I've seen 30 minute van rides to "short" hotels and the company considered any hotel near a moderately unsafe mall to be "downtown like".
