Hotel “Yes, we just ask for a completed form and copy of your insurance

ME “That’s customary; is there a landing fee if I have a lunch booking?”

Hotel “No Sir, there’s no charge, just let us know the dates you’re interested in”



...I can only assume I have a more soothing telephone voice than the OP.
Or they have a google alert up for their hotel name and are aware of this thread...

It is a nice summary of emotions towards helicopter pilots though!
