Thanks markis10, just booked my first PB night!

Crowne Plaza Dubai-Deira. Have a one night stopover there, not 100% sure EK will provide me with a hotel, so I have booked this as a backup in case they don't, or put me in the economy hotel (flying J). I may just use this hotel depending on its location, I've never been to Dubai. Arrive late afternoon, so I'm keen to explore as much of it as I can that night.

EK have bought back the stopover hotel offer I believe.

Free hotel night is back! - FlyerTalk Forums

Hm has something changed lately?

I am on EK425 PER-DXB which arrives in at 2pm and out on EK105 DXB-ATH the following morning at 10am, there isn't another ATH flight before I leave - so given that I guessed i was entitled to request hotel as a result of STPC...but I have forgotten to ring. Might do it tomorrow then and see what the story is.

Just snagged two rooms at IC hotel Fiji for 5 nights each during next school holidays. The advance purchase rate was $3600 for the entire stay. Not a bad use of 50000 pts. Anyone else had similar good fortune?

What is the best way from the IC to/from Nadi airport?

in a cab,, shouldn't cost more than $25 and if it's hot, tell the driver to turn the aircon on.

Looks like I am off to Fiji in July, and I have a very low points balance for some reason.

On my last two visits I have emailed the hotel concierge prior to arrival and organized either a car pickup or seat in the hotel mini van. I've forgotten the cost but they let you know in their response. Others I know have simply taken a local cab from the airport without any hassle which is also much cheaper. The drive is about 40 mins along the highway. Cheers.
