I think it is, have you tried on www.aa.com? Read the first few post from Murphy The Cat in this thread for tips on the AA system.

Not really a moneysaving tip as its quite expensive but would recommend going to see BlueManGroup - we say them a couple of years ago with the Luzor and they were fantastic

Saw them for free last week at an open air concert in Dam Square Amsterdam!

Hi looking to go to LA/Las Vegas in May have found a flight heathrow to LA direct for £1349.20 in total for 2 adults and 2 children do you think this is good value - should I book or wait?

Any tips

I've just booked flights via Virgin from gatwick to vegas direct for £680 for our honeymoon at the end of april next year, price had dropped from £960 a week ago so may be worth waiting another week or two?

Cost us £166 to fly to Vegas in May this year. If you are avoiding the weeks trhat include bank holidays fares are ridiculously low at that time of year.

Same cost as the flight out on the 23rd August...

Booked in Septembet 06 for London to LA with BA 20th July 2007 - £1080 for 3 adults (me, hubby and 15yr old son - 18yr old not coming for obvious reasons!). Having travelled to LA 8 times before, this is the best ever deal for us and was a great 'find' - flights are now double the price. Still working on a route but will definately go to Scottsdale and possibly Palm Springs. Another trip to Vegas is also probable. We have found that the MGM, Luxor end of the strip is good and beware, 'cheap' is not always best - e.g. I would avoid staying at Circus Circus although a visit is worthwhile (get out quick).

On the hunt for the best car hire option - van or possibly 4 wheel drive this time for a change. We have found Dollar to be the best deal in the past but will see if bookign through a third party is better - e.g. Airline Newtwork was best deal in 2005 but not so competitive this year.

I found Hertz to be cheaper when you include insurance, also it's free to join the Gold Club and you can free upgrades and stuff with that. Also £8 cashback (was at the time) through quidco.
