“Jungle red-eye” hotels...

FLL Hyatt convention is on point. For multiday red eye jungle loops, you keep same room, black out curtains and they don’t eff with you. Wyndham will call your room several times asking who you are, when you’re leaving, when you got there, and right about the time you cuss them out and tell them you need sleep, someone will come pounding on your door.

Marina is always packed with people in cruise wear and the staff is less than anxious to help us at times. You need ear plugs to sleep or you have to listen to housekeeping and their loud conversations in Haitian creole. I need to learn how to say "****" in Haitian creole

The only layover that would qualify as “jungle” would be SJO. Sometimes it’s a turn, sometimes they split it into a 2-3 day trip. The Caribbean and Central American red eyes are turns from and back to FLL. Sometimes they stand alone as a FLL trip, sometimes they’re built into multi day trips from other bases.

Don’t get too excited when looking at NK’s route map. We have a small portion of international overnights. With the company growing domestically, the ratio between domestic vs international overnights will spread even further. You’re not signing up for exotic layovers.

so, do they go senior or ...?

Bogota and Cali can go senior.
Lima and Guayaquil you can pick up anytime. The hotels are decent, but with the new scheduling rules they are an underpaid 3 day, and a red eye return. (Depart in the evening, arrive close to midnight, return the next night and home early morning on third day. Because there are only two duty periods, it doesn’t pay 15 credit like other 3 days, usually 11-12 credit)
SJO is a bit odd and depends on the pairing it’s attached to, Same with SJU. At best they are a nice full almost 24 stay from midday to the next. At worst you arrive in the morning, leave later that evening and hope you can sleep. New SJU is in a great location and has a 24/7 Denny’s in the lobby.
Santo Domingo hotel is decent, but not something I go out of my way to bid for.
In short, almost anywhere down South we fly to is either a turn, or somewhere better to visit on days off. Sorry to burst the bubble of anyone coming here to see exotic locations on the company dime.
