Reservations at HCC

Are there any hints about how to get the best reservations at HCC? Does anyone have any secrets they would like to share? If I wanted to make reservations for Dec. 22 does that mean that I am allowed to make the reservation today on Sept. 22? Do you actually put your request in at midnight?

Thanks

I don't think there are any real secrets. The system updates at midnight Eastern Time. If you are trying to make a 90 day holiday res starting on 12/22, you can reserve at 12:01 a.m. on 9/22.

Brian - did you join up? What membership level?

One year HCC reservations

One of the great things that HCC programmed into their reservation system is the ability of members to disregard leap-year calculations and having to try and figure out the true 365 day reservation window. For one year reservations, you simply make the reservation on the same DATE on the previous year.

Examples of one-year reservation windows:
9/22/09 = 9/22/08
12/31/09 = 12/31/08
3/1/10 - 3/1/09

If only Frequent Flier reservations windows were this easy!

My experience has been slightly different. I agree with the one year out works on the specific day but the 90 day does not. You have to count those days to see when you can actually reserve.
