Las Vegas thread and MSE guide 2009 part 2

I'd go for three in economy if money is the issue.
A little squirmer for ten hours is no fun -and you can bet they won't want to stay in the sky cot. Not to mention the safety aspect-you get a bumpy landing or turbulence little un is a LOT safer strapped into a car seat rather than held on a lap. Obviously three in premium would be the best option -maybe hold off going for a few months and do that instead ?

Update.

After getting the call yesterday and posting my anger on here, I decided to give United one last call.

I asked if it was possible to change the flight to the day before and at first they said it wasn't available in the same fare class. But the lady checked again and said it was available and that I could change it as a one-off change due to the schedule change. I got her name and told her that NF's were insisting the change couldn't be made, but I would try them again. She said she would put a note on the booking that the change could be made.

My next problem was getting hold of NF as I had been told that the Schedule Change Dept was closed at the weekend, yet someone had called me and I didn't know if they were from that department.

Called NF and was answered quickly after getting through the various menus. I explained it all again and told him the details were on my booking. Again I said that United had no problem changing the booking, that they had made a note of it and I had a contact name and number if he would contact them.

For once someone from NF actually listened to me! He put me on hold while he called and I spent an anxious few minutes until he came back and said I HAVE MADE THE CHANGE!

I literally couldn't believe what I was hearing. After umpteen phone calls and being shoved from pillar to post, success at last. I almost couldn't believe it until I viewed the booking using https://www.checkmytrip.com and there is was so I did a little Happy Dance, jumping up and down.

We are now flying on 18 September via SFO, so the type of flight I prefer by getting the long leg over with first, and no panic about getting to the concert in time.

To say I'm relieved is an understatement.

Oh Luci that's GREAT !!!
Well done on not giving up-makes all the difference when you get someone at the airline prepared to go the extra mile (no pun intended)

Well done Luci, it seems it is all falling back into place. Looks like you have done very well with the room rates aswell.

Yep, it seems a strange coincidence that I already had that night booked and hadn't cancelled the reservation! Someone was looking after me.
