I'm not jealous at all actually - cause when I go it'll be warmer and my birthday and I'll be resting from my marathon

(okay maybe a little jealous because I want to go now too )

Hi Lou,

I used this offer to book yesterday - they even had premium economy on the £300 seats for £13 extra each way...but I still was a cheap skate and booked mine for £220!

Oh I would have paid for premium economy, we upgraded to that on the way home last year...and it was lovely. Champagne as we sat down, much nicer food, bigger seats, bliss.

Yeah but it was £350 or so vs £220... thats £100 more drinking money

Plus its my birthday and the day after my marathon when I fly so I'm going to try and blag an upgrade on sympathy basis since I'll barely be able to walk

Has anyone managed to get an upgrade for some kind of special occasion and if so how did you do it?

I too am looking at these Virgin flights and have the cheapest ones in my reserved basket.

im thinking of trying to tailor in 2 weeks, a few days in NYC but then on somewhere else. ( dont think we can afford 2x weeks in NYC on hotels :eek: ) I would REALLY like beach time- aside from the hamptons where are the best areas to find beaches and what will weather be like mid may? Im seeing that I tihnk it will be quite nice? Hppy to drive interestate, I love US driving after the last experience in Vegas was wonderful
