whoops. I thought I already made a reservation for 163 on Sunday, but looking through my e-mail i realized I never did. Its now a 56 dollar fare STM-MET so I'm going to take Metro North.

Who started this thread?
I think a few of us jumping on this issue once the thread starter (hint hint) raised it, caused the bucket to be tipped and the price therefore jacked up. Yeah it's about 50 bucks AAA rate, but with my split trip via NWK it's 25 and 25 for each segment, so not so bad. Remember too that it's Sunday, not Saturday, so the fare is going to be higher as Sunday is considered peak.

Fifty bucks is good. It is more than 49 bucks and therefore the leg qualifies as one of the 4 needed to get a free rt on Regionals.

I am also doing 150/163 on Sunday.

Kevin, I think I'll overnight at Newark Hilton just to avoid waking up at an ungodly hour on Sunday, and also to snag a few additional Hilton and AGR points while I am at it. I have a reservation. On Saturday I will pick up my bag from my car in Metropark after we head back to NJ after dinner. Sunday I will leave the bag at the hotel for pickup on the way back from STM, and then head to Metropark to pick up my car.

Ok, but please don't hurt yourself with the car at Metropark. I'll be there too, so let me know if you need help lifting it. But my purpose will be to drive home. If past experience still holds true, the bell captain at Hilton Newark is on the lower level (one level down from the lobby), which means sprinting across the street outside to/from Newark Penn Station rather than using the sky bridge.

That is why I keep a small model of the car in the glove compartment. They are much easier to pick up (Hey you asked for it )

I'll text you what car I am in on 160 after I board at MET on Saturday. Piotr are you joining 160 at NWK or MET?

last night 163 dropped down to $33 STM-MET just in case anyone is still thinking about making a reservation. I am booked on 163 now STM-MET

MET

I take it I shouldn't have any problems other than raised eyebrows if I board 160 at Newark with a MET-NHV ticket.
