Thanks ferf.

I have been advised that twilight check in may be a better option, You can check in from the previous day as soon as that flight has left that morning. I was told around £75! not bad for a 10 hour flight really.

Last I heard the PE upgrades were not even available at twilight check-in (we use twilight almost every trip)...and when they are available on the morning of the flight they're a whole lot more than £75. Perhaps things have changed.

Is that 4 nights then? And is that £150 for the 4 nights, or per night? And will you be sharing a room (so is £150 your share of the room)? Sorry, just not quite sure what the parameters are.

Luci,

There does seem to be a lot of construction on the strip & surrounding areas. Just had the same conversation with a cab driver on way back from outlet mall. I arrived on Friday afternoon and traffic was stacked up. I think in this case I was better being "tunneled". I thought it was you who posted about the Love offer but i'm only on a palm top and didn't want to have to scroll back through the pages.

I used twilight check in on Thursday evening & got an exit seat for £75.00.

The £75 seats available at twilight check in are for exit row seats, not upgrades to premium, if thats what you are looking for.

Premium upgrades on the day of flight, if any available at a discount, are usually around £300 each, one way.

Why don't you have a look at the first page of this thread and do some leg work yourself. It is a wealth of information.

Thanks penny (and Stew)...I was starting to think that things were worse with the airline industry than I thought if they were offering £75 PE upgrades!

Personally, I would take the £30 additional legroom seats (when available) over the exit rows, because we find them more comfortable.
