Any recommendations for commuter hotel in ATL. September is my first month being based in ATL and need suggestions.....



Thanks

Quality Inn (404) 766-000, and Country Inn and Suites (770) 991-1099 have both treated me well. Both were just over $40, although taxes recently went up so I'm not sure what the totals were. South side, with a shuttle.

When everything was full one night, I ended up at Three Palms on Virginia for $38 and regretted not just sleeping in a gutter for free.

I'm pretty excited about Alabama football and specifically the place kicking. It's my favorite part of Alabama football.
I am a Badger fan from WI and unable to admit defeat. Rematch, December, Camp Randall, in the snow how football was meant to be played!

FTB, where are the cheerleader pics?
Since the LSU game was cancelled I watched the Fighting Amish destroy

There is some discussion on the UAL page about some of the new hires leaving to go to DAL or AA. Anyone see that happening?

Used have to lower the barrier at Eglin when a tanker would takeoff on runway 19. Saw one KC135 (old motors) rotate right at the end of the runway. MA1A was about 4' tall across the departure end, good thing that crew asked for it be lowered.

Oh yeah, RTR! Is Henry a beast or what?

Side Question:

Getting married soon and trying to book the honeymoon non-rev. Right now they are listed as my travel companion so the international charges are way different than if we were married. Is there anything I can do to change that?

You need to do the paperwork and call them a lot. I did the paperwork, which included a copy of the license and the required form more the two weeks before we hitched. We took off the day after the wedding and she still wasn't "processed". Went to someplace in middle of nowhere on St. Lucia and didn't have internet or phone service. When we left she still wasn't processed, so we flew back with her as my companion.

Returned home to a letter from the pass department indicating the marrige license had to be signed when we had submitted the initial paperwork. Never mind it said in bold that you can't sign it until after the marrige had occurred. I figured they would have refunded at least a portion...nope

This experience with a third party is exactly why the medical change in the TA was a horrible idea. I did exactly what I needed to do and their excuse was that I had not called enough to follow up with them.
