Does anyone know when the darts las vegas desert classic tickets at the mandalay bay usually go on sale?

May

I would second Presidential. We used them a couple of years ago. As it's the same price for an hour's hire as a transfer to the hotel, I asked them to meet us 30 mins after the flight was due to land.

Apparently they monitor flights and start the time from the time the flight landed which is a bit off seeing as you have to disemark, get through the airport and wait for the luggage at the carousel.

We met the driver at 6.15pm, he took us to pick up some beers at a liquor store at the south of the strip then to the Welcome to Las Vega sign. We arrived at our hotel at 7pm.

The price includes a bottle of champagne and a rose for the ladies.

Craig, no-one can really help you with your flights, it's your call. Without a crystal ball it's impossible to say whether BA will have another sale or not. If you are happy with the price then book now. If not, then hang on.

I am hoping for another BA sale for September or November, assuming we go back, as I got our May flights last July for £470pp direct with an Aberdeen connection.

Yeah fair enough

I think I will wait for a BA sale or American Airlines may even have a sale

Re Insurance with existing conditions...I was with Columbus Direct, found them to be helpful over the phone although I haven't made a claim against them.

Tried them and they won't cover Alan....it's ridiculous he had his bypass 9 years ago and has had no problems since...not even angina....majority of companies will insure him but not for his condition....which he doesn't have any more because he had an operation to cure it....!!!!!!....it's so annoying

I use MIA On-line https://www.fastweb.co.uk/miaonline/ . They used to have set prices but seem to have changed that now - mine was £180ish (I think) for annual worldwide for 2 people. They also do single trips. I've not had to claim but all the feedback I've read has been quite good.

ok I've tried this site several times...it logs me in as a guest but I can't for the life of me find out where I can register

MGM would be $742 - using Play Crazy 8's deal - tower room
Excalibur $471 - using vegas best rates deal - normal basic tower room

Found a good flight for £504 per person with Coninental which is from NCL > AMS > EWR > LAS

Coming back LAS > IAH > LHR > NCL - good times and purchased all flights with Continental on same ticket incase one of the flights is dealayed

British Airways from NCL > LHR > LAS and back is £630

Do you's think if BA have another sale they will be cheaper by £126 per person?

Basically should I book coninental flights or wait till BA have another sale

I think you'd said before that it was Sept that you're looking at. We've been in Sept a few times and haven't managed to bag a sale price, as it's still a popular time to travel. Flights have only ever seemed to go up when I've been looking but as someone else said, it's impossible to know what might or might not happen.

You should weigh up if you absolutely 100% want to goto Vegas, or if you'd change your plans if the price went up and maybe choose somewhere else. If you're happy with the price today, I'd book and then not check the flights between now and then to torture yourself :rotfl:. At least once your flights are booked, you know that you going to Vegas and can start planning everything else.......
