Actually yes. United you go to a 4 or 5 star hotel of your choice and expense it. No questions asked. And I’m sure in most cities the top tier hotels meaning the Ritz Carlton Four Seasons types had rooms. Problem is those aren’t in the hotel connections portfolio and our crew scheduling can’t or won’t do anything on their own outside of hotel connections. CPs have been little help in my experience.
Heck even if you go to your normal overnight hotel and just don’t feel it’s acceptable that day to you you can go to any 4 or 5 star and expense it no questions. In the United CBA
Spirit- wake up the CP and see what happens.
