    It's normal for the confirmation not to show all that's included, but they will know at check in so don't worry. It may be worth printing it off anyway just to remind yourself.

    t. It was the first time my husband experienced a Vegas buffet with crablegs and the people with plates piled high with JUST crablegs...and their own crackers...he was fascinated. :)

    Me and Tracy do that as well!! She even takes her own crab leg splitter that she picked up from GVR some years ago.:rotfl:
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Not sure where else to post this but I've had so much great advice given to my previous questions so I thought I'd start here.
    Maybe you can help or maybe you can just point me in the right direction?

    Boyf booked our flights separately- work is paying for his, he is paying for mine.
    He didn't want his boss knowing that I was going (even though, besides boyf paying for my flight- a gift for the 2 birthdays that he missed- I am paying my own way) which has annoyed me a little already if I'm honest-boyf is high enough up that he could take me with but his boss is a bit of a lad and to be honest I get the impression he would much prefer if my boyf was single:mad: and so it's better for their relationship if he at least appears to not be that bothered about me being around.

    So anyway, I'll get to the point!
    It now means that are seats aren't together. We originaly wanted to upgrade my seat with his airmiles and his with cash but couldn't get any upgradable flights for a few weeks. We were told when booking to check online 48 hours before and change our seats online- well it's now 48hours before and there are no seats available!

    I can't bear the thought of a 10 hour flight sitting next to some stranger.
    Does anyone know any way we might be able to sit together?

    Either have a word with the flight attendant before you board or ask if someone will swap with you on the flight.

    There might be cash upgrades to Premium at checkin for a few hundred quid each. Try the twilight checkin to beat the queue.

    I've never flown long haul before, in fact I haven't flown much at all, it's my first holiday in 5 years so I have no idea about anything really!

    You can check in and drop your bags off at the virgin desk the evening before the flight- if you go early to this there is a chance that they will be able to re-arrange the seats and get you sitting together
