Hyatt – Guest of Honor Booking

Every year for Christmas I like to go somewhere even if it is just a nice little stay-cation! This year I talked to a friend of mine who has Globalist status about a Guest of Honor booking. I had read about these before but never knew the details. I asked him if he would be willing to do it for me for Christmas.

We talked about the details. I needed to give him my full name, Hyatt number, booking dates and room type. Globalist members can make a booking even if they do not have the points in their account to cover the room. Once he called Hyatt to make the booking I got an email and it was added to my Hyatt app.

Upon check in I asked if there was a room upgrade available due to my friends gifted status for the stay. I actually said … “My friend told me to ask if there is an upgrade available.” I was upgraded to a corner suite with a living room and bar area.

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving I went to Seattle. I had so much fun hanging out with the kids, watching Christmas movies, playing games and baking sourdough bread from scratch!

The best way to start my journey home was being able to visit the newly opened and much needed bigger American Express Centurion Lounge at Seattle – Tacoma Airport – SEA. Most of the time when I travel I am alone so its always an adventure to find a seat. I found it extra difficult here. If you prefer a seat with padding of some sort then you are going to either need to be a Black cardholder where they had them reserved, or have a large group. Call me crazy but I will trade this new club for the main Delta Sky Club.

I also spent the night at the Renaissance Concourse, There are 2 locations near the airport but you want the concourse one because of the stunning runway views!
