I can say that I personally wouldn't go with Circus Circus or Stratosphere which will appear first on a lot of these deals. Let us know if the flight is direct, and which hotel it's for. (Think indirect flights are generally about £300-350. Hotels can vary lots and are cheaper mid week than weekends and can rocket over Halloween - Wynn and Venetian, 2 of the best on the strip have offers from $109/$129 with free slot play at the moment for dates coming up soon, so offers similar in Oct may be possible).

What dates are the Wynn deals for or is it the one i already have?

Im in Newcastle so Man is fairly easy to get to- how was US airways flight?

im a little bit of a plane geek- and I dont really like american carriers (dont beleive I should have to pay for my alcohol) so I;ve been trying to keep away from them

I wouldnt mind Virgin out of LGW but- im not paying those prices to fly on their old cramped planes.

Well you have to pay for everything including soft drinks on Mytravel/Thomas Cook. So having to buy alcohol on a US carrier is the better bet. We have flown with USAirways a few times and the soft drinks service is free and frequent. You get fed on a regular basis, and the entertainment is usually fine. Continental had the seat back entertainment. American didn't. All have free soft drinks.

Depends on the route for seatback entertainment on all US carriers United have it on all LAX and SFO flights but only on some to Denver and Chicago look at seatguru.com really good site. AA have it on most though did not on the old tubs that used to fly out of Stanstead and I assume that these planes are still flying to and from the UK somwhere

Has anyone else tried to cancel an Ultimate escape promotion (link from fatwallet) at the MGM, and had the same problems as me?

I know a couple on here who said they were not able to view their reservation online.

Anyway I couldnt view mine so I just rung them and kept getting passed around (5 different people) and they kept telling me I had to cancel online as it was a casino promotion.

Eventually got someone who said she could do it but she couldnt email a cancellation confirmation and didnt give me a cancelletion number until I pushed her and then said, the cancellation number is the same as the reservation number, which seems strange to me.

Does that all make sense and does it seem right? I will prob call again in a couple of days to check it has been cancelled.

I didn't get a cancellation email from the MGM either and the way I checked it had been cancelled was checking that my credit card had been refunded online which is was about 4 days later.
