Does anyone have advice on where to plan to stay during Sims? Any extended stay hotels with good rates? Or Crash Pads close by?

I'd look for postings in the training center; lots of times there are crash pads advertised on bulletin boards. Some might have the need for a car, which is a benefit in Atlanta. Also touch base with friends who've gone through recently as they usually are up to speed on the latest places. Not sure about extended stays; make some inquiries and let 'em know you work for Delta and maybe you can get a price break. Good luck!

Thanks Spud.

Does anyone know when one would expect to get a sim schedule? Within the first week?

Keep AirBnB in mind as well. I have heard of new hires getting a bunch of guys together and getting a house for a month. Of course having a car may be a necessity with that but it's an option.

I am considering that as well, however I have a decent amount of HHonors points that I have been setting aside... I may use them for SIM.

Good to know there are lots of options out there.

I did the HH points route. Had a car and stayed ~10 nm South in a Hampton Inn for 10-15k points per night. Worked out great.

For Marriott members...the Courtyard past the Credit Union goes for 10,000 points/night.
The Fairfield a hundred yards west of the Staybridge was good for 10,000 points/night a couple years ago, but it looks like that has changed.
