I try and fly trips with front end DH's and so far am batting 1000 on airport hotels with the exception of Boston. For reasons I don't understand they book the Park Plaza in advance on the BOS trips and will not change it. No one uses the room since most guys live there bidding those trips.
I was surprised too, as I've never had a problem, unless of course irops and full hotels. But that was her answer to me... 'company policy'. No dice. Didn't even check. And the downtown hotel is waaay nicer than the airport one, I'm sure it would have saved money.
