This right here is the difference between United and Spirit. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I don’t know but don’t doubt it.

United is approved to get their own hotels - period. And get reimbursed.

You should not accept the fact you may not get reimbursed. That’s the difference between a ULCC and a legacy

I know it’s wrong but I’m too lazy to change it.

The former is a thoughtfully created retail experience meant to capture, celebrate and revel in the feelings of life Up North and the art of lake living.

The latter has to do with weather patterns generated near a large body of water.

I think it’s been proven here by multiple people....be an adult and get your own hotel and expense it. You will get reimbursed. You may think it runs perfectly at other carriers but they have their meltdowns too. SWA computer crash, AA canceling flights due to staffing...

No major meltdown required for that either; happened just last week.

The language is clear cut that when they forget to book the room then you can call the CP and request to expense it (saw it done once as an FO), but the situation I keep finding myself in lately is they will book a room but it may or may not be CBA compliant due to the primary hotel being sold out.
