Well after posting last night that you could only vote once in the poll, I really didn't expect to need to vote again so soon.

I've just booked this morning to go back 30 April - 14 May!!! Woooo hooo!! My birthday trip.

When I saw on here that BA had a sale I went to the site and priced it. Got a price of £596 which was more than I got a couple of weeks ago.

However I got the email from BA and using the link in the email the flights came out at £470 each. They were £379 without the Aberdeen add on.

Now I want to update the poll with my new trip!!

Thats practically the same as I was quoted earlier, we get married here on the 15th May, so will be flying in the week etc, might book these tonight I think :rolleyes:

Are you kidding? No way.

It depend how long you are there for, but we have done 4 evening shows and a couple of afternoon shows over 7 nights.

We are going for 13 nights in September, have 3 shows booked so far and another 8(!) pencilled in, inlcuding 2 afternoon shows. We will probably end up doing 6 evening and 1 afternoon.

I also received the email from the Venetian and think the Phantom offer is a great deal. I'm tempted even though we've seen it before. Hubby really enjoyed it, but I kept nodding off due to jetlag.

So did I!!!

Wasnt the theatre fab. And all those dummies down the side in the private boxes.

Hi guys,

Looking at booking a trip to New York + Vegas in September as I'm going to see The Killers in MB on 19th.

Thought I had it all sussed out with Expedia for flights & City and Show for accomodation. I tried to work out flights so I had max. time in bioh cities by arriving early afternoon.

Plan is (hopefully) as follows:

15/9 - Glasgow - New York
3 nights at The New Yorker @ £307

18/9 New York - Las Vegas
5 nights at Mirage £334

BTW - 4 nights in Palazzo from 18th is £325 - very tempted but for extra £9 get to stay an extra night in Vegas at the Mirage!

23/9 Las Vegas - Edinburgh via New York (1hr 10min change)

Flights were working in at £932 for both of us flighing with Continental but when I went in last nght to book they jumped £200 & stayed like this for about 2 hours. Then I checked just before I went to bed & back to original price - left it with intentions of sorting it all today whilst I was awake!!

Anyway have just checked & the flights now up to £1052. Do you think they keep moving automatically because of the interest show - ie the fact that I have been checking prices all week?

I have booked hotels with Expedia but never flights so no experience with that.

Also, the flight home, the arrival into NY only gives me just over an hour to change - is this too risky? There is another flight but this would give me 3-4 hours in NY waiting on our connection.

Oh and out of curiosity has any stayed at New Yorker?

Thanks!

I personally would not touch a connecting flight without at least 2 hours between...we used to fly via ERW on Continental quite a lot but even if you don't have a terminal change and even if your bags are checked through, 1:10 doesn't give a lot of time for any delays at all...if it all goes to schedule, it's probably fine...but if not it could be a lot of hectic rushing (which I hate)...I suppose that if the inbound flight causes you to miss the connection, they'll have to get you home somehow.
