I don't approach hotels or airlines with the hopeful attitude that if I'm polite they will give me a room or a seat.Inthe case of travellers, (vacationers), some prior coordination is needed . Someone might actually drive to a destination rather than fly so that they might accomodate transporting their aircraft. Some people might even choose the destination itself because of the facilitesthat areavailable.

The idea of showing upunexpected forpot luck IS the problem, not thesolution.
