Air Fare
WAS - MBJ = $505 (3.5 hours direct/ 6+ one-stop)
WAS - NBO = $707 (no direct/ 17-20 hours one-stop)
Lodging (comparable)
Negril = $55/ night
Mtwapa = $35/ night
Dinner
Negril = $10
Mtwapa = $6
Beer (bar price)
Negril = $3.00
Mtwapa = $1.40 - $1.75
Pum-Pum (comparable Ho's)
Negril = $35 Up
Mtwapa = $15 Up
Airport transfer
MBJ to Negril = $25 Up (1.5 hr trip)
MBA - Mtwapa = $12 Uber, 20 - $25 taxi (30 minute trip)
Ho's
Negril = Entitled, most won't even consider oral, quick to ask for unreasonable amounts ($200)
Mtwapa = Grateful, will do anything to make you want to come back....anything with a smile....happy with what you can give them
My personal experience places the difference between a mongering trip to Negril as opposed to Mtwapa on the same level as the difference between a mongering trip to Miami as opposed to Santo Domingo.

Negril is looking good for July

Re: 02/2018 - Fares too high?
I'll reach ORD at 12:19 PM, and my flight out is at 2:05 PM.
Your club or mine? (It looks like I can bring you in as a guest on my Platinum card.)
Won't see you in NRT because I'm going to HKG.

As a 1k can't you bring a guest with you into your lounge?
One trip my friend who is a 1k was able to get me into the United lounge in both Houston as well as Narita with no problem and I think it was all complimentary.
The only thing was I was flying United that trip but didn't have a single credited mile to my name at that point.

Whynotme will get in to ORD more than two hours later than I will depart from ORD.
From what I could see, as a Platinum dude on a qualifying international flight, I can not only use the Admirals Club, I can bring a guest. And no-doubt whynotme has equivalent, or even better, privileges as a 1K member on United ... but you'd have to be there to bring in a guest flying on a different alliance.
We might meet up, some day, at the same destination ... but it won't happen on THIS trip! :rolleyes:
Re: 02/2018 - Fares too high?
Westy would have to be on a star alliance flight to get go with wnm.

yes I can get 1 guest in at no cost no matter what if any status he has,
BUT,
he also has to be on a star alliance flight and not a one world carrier or a discount carrier.
also he doesn't even have to be leaving on the same flight as me or on the same carrier as long as its a star alliance partner flight:iconTU:
also the odd time I get put on a code share flight booked thru united or another star alliance partner if it includes a leg on...... say cathay pacific or American I cant get into the lounge because I am departing on the competitions carrier:eek:

You hope at least
Did you hear there is a massive snow storm blowing through Chicago starting tonight
Talking about anywhere from 8-20 inches before it's done
Hopefully things will be back to normal at ORD by the time you guys come through on Sunday
