United tried that in DEN years back, didn't go so well.

"A recently-installed passenger walkway fell on the wing of a United Airlines airliner parked at gate B-22 at Denver International Airport Friday, damaging the Boeing 757 but causing no injuries."

Though I suppose going with the lowest bidder as all things KDEN does; tends to have consequences.

Default LAX hotels

I’m looking for a hotel near the airport for 1 night for 4 of us. Non revving in the day before a confirmed flight. Any recommendations for a place to stay?

“Near the airport” really narrows it down

I'm being serious, no one gives us deals around LAX. Best bet for cheap is to have wheels and get a hotel away from the airport. Otherwise this is the best.

It's rare, hotels have strong bookings there and the 'crew rates' I've always been quoted are stupid high. Sat reserve w/o a crashpad for a bit so I'm reasonably knowledgeable on the topic

Download the app Hotel Tonight as well, can find some deals with that as well.

Last hotel friendly to crews was the ole Hacienda but they were redeveloped into expensive condos and some boutique hotel now that doesn’t have any love for airline crews like the hacienda did.

I thought VB was expiring this month? CR update definitely seems like they don’t think that’s the case... did i miss a union update?
