I have a 3-night stay booked at the PH Aviara Resort for later this month. I am planning on bringing my dog. Will I be able to tether him to a lounge chair while my gf & I go i nthe pool?
He is a well behaved 17 pound dog, and much like his owner, he is perfectly content doing nothing on a lounge chair by the pool.
Hi,
I have a trip to the Maldives planned over the holidays. This will be the longest flights I have ever taken and I value flying business for these. I would likely pay cash for business if I didn't have miles.
Point Balances:
440k MR, 70k incoming from bank bonus, and I've no Amex personal cards yet, so I have more MR incoming 75K C1 miles (not much more expected) 40k UR (burned 400k on Hyatts recently, will not use these for flights) 120k AA 75k United 100k BILT incoming on May 15 Departing flight:
I have not booked my departing trip yet, but I am eyeing SFO->DOH->MLE for 170k QA. Singapore Airlines is 250k for this route.
Return flight
This is the one I am posting about. I managed to snag MLE->DOH->ORD for 102k QA on the exact dates that I need. The downside is that this flight gets in at ~3pm in the afternoon, then I will need to book a 4 hour flight ORD->SFO
I see availability for MLE->DOH->SEA for 170k QA on the same dates. This flight is 1 hour shorter than the ORD one, and SEA->SFO is 2 hours shorter than ORD->SFO.
I am tempted to drop another 70k MR to book this DOH->SEA leg. I am curious what other would do in my situation?
Thanks in advance.

I have a 3 night stay in the PH NYC in a few weeks and will have an extra GOH I can use. Is it worth using the GOH at the PH NYC?
From my research, it appears the only benefit is breakfast (including breakfast in bread!). This sounds nice, but I am a sucker for NY bagel egg & cheese sandwiches and honestly would prefer a bodega breakfast to a luxury one.
Are there any other benefits I'm missing? TIA.
I have the option of upgrading my award stay to the ocean overwater villas for $225/night, or the "sunset overwater villa" for $300/night. Does anybody have experience with these options? Is the only difference really just the sunset view?
Any thoughts, opinions, or experiences are appreciated. Thanks.
