Uggggggg
I was looking forward to the upgrade !
I will still ask. Is it only available if you book from the hotel itself?
Does not seem fair
The hotel gets their $$ anyway.
We booked that way from SW because the airfair was much cheaper.
hey homie scooby do.....
i reread your post and see you have a PACKAGE with a private company, sw airlines.
those lock you in to what they have to offer. when you book with an agency like that, the deal you get is all tied into one. jodie is correct.
private packages do not qualify for what i posted the other day. sorry to have misled you. i came back to this thread and it dawned on me you bought a package, everything tied up into one deal.
hopefully, your package covers food besides the basics for your vacay.
if you book a package with AAA, you do get the perks as they have an agreement with universal resorts. but the AAA package does not offer the best deals. many newbies use them and you can get it all cheaper booking things separately.
AAA packages have everything you need tied into one payment.
it covers air, car, hotel, tickets.
but you are paying more for the tickets that way as they don't pass on the promo deals they have for tickets to you when you book the trip package. you pay at a higher rate.
some people, especially those that have never been to UO, prefer having the AAA agent do all the work. some people think it is easier for an agent handle the basics as they know more then them.
ETA: yes it is fair for the hotels to handle it the way they have. you have already posted that you saved money on the flight cost. the agency you used got you some great deals overall. you are saving $700 on the air alone.
