We are looking forward to our
upcoming trip to Tokyo (Japan), Taipei (Taiwan) and Okinawa (Japan). We’re also excited to experience Cathay
Pacific’s first class cabin on our flight home. In order to book two first class tickets with
our airline miles, we needed to adjust our itinerary to include one overnight
stay in San Francisco, California. This
is because we specifically wanted to fly on Cathay Pacific’s first class route
from Hong Kong to San Francisco. We our
flying home from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Envoy (a OneWorld partner
airline) first class the next day.
This means that will need to
stay in San Francisco for one night.
This is where our Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) Starpoints earned from
our American
Express SPG card credit card become useful.
The Four Points by Sheraton
Hotel & Suites San Francisco Airport is only 1.5 miles away from the San
Francisco International Airport (SFO) and very close to the downtown area. They provide free shuttle service to and from
the airport. As usual with most Starwood
properties, high speed internet, bottled water, coffee and snacks are
complimentary.
If we were to pay cash for
this hotel room, it would cost $144 per night.
Thanks to Starpoints, we are
able to stay here for 7,000 SPG points and $0 cash!
Saving money on a free flight
or a free hotel stay allows us to use that money towards attractions and food
on our vacation!
