We would like to share some information about the latest developments regarding hotels and accommodation:

USA general 
At the following destinations the additional allowance of 25$, to be claimed via CME, is applicable: ANCORDJFKDFW and SEA

We try to continuously monitor the quality and the offered options. As this is not always possible in a timely manner, we appreciate any feedbacks of changes (for better and worse) in order to be able to suggest alternatives.

Regarding HSV, we try to ensure that the originally agreed general standard in case of no buffet available (one main course, fruits, hot and cold regular beverage including all fees, taxes and gratuities) are met in the future.

As already communicated by the CPO we confirm the hotel change to the Sofitel Jumeirah Beach as of 01 August 2021. The Hotel Committee asked for this change because of the persistent noise exposure that some colleagues suffered from in the Hilton JBR hotel. We are confident that now we found a good solution in terms of the mandatory suitability while still offering a good variety of amenities.

The negotiated benefits of the Sofitel are:

  • 20% discount in restaurants & bars (excluding in room dining, mini bar and tobacco)
  • One complimentary uniform pressing per pilot per stay
  • Complimentary beach kit

The beach kit consists of a beach mat, towel, water and an umbrella. Please note that unlike in the Hilton, the sunbeds at the beach are owned by an external provider and are therefore chargeable.

For feedback please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via email to cvhotels@alpl.lu.
