    Hi all. As you all know, after some last minute changes due to the strikes to get to Heathrow, we got away on honeymoon. I have all my notes ready for the nice little trip report ready to start after we got home from our trip in Mexico. Now, can you guess the next part???


    You got it. Our flight home on Thurs was cancelled. So, we got stranded in Miami. They offered a flight to us from there about 10 days later, so we flew to Chicago (at our cost) where they have reserved us seats for Wed, only 6 days late. If and when we travel is all up in the air like everyone else. Thank god we're only doing our honeymoon once. The trip was wonderful but the travel an absolute nightmare......

    My trip report might be a while coming, but there will be some good bits once we can sort the small issue of getting home.
    Love MSE, Las Vegas and chocolate!

    Stay safe Mookybargirl and remember to keep any receipts for out of pocket expenses in case you have a claim when you get back.

    Hang in there, mooky...fingers crossed for you guys for Wednesday.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Hi,
    I've booked a flight home from Las Vegas in June, with Air France, which goes LV to Salt Lake City to Paris to Edinburgh, however there is only half an hour between arriving in Salt Lake City and leaving again.

    Has anyone else done this flight before? Did you make it?!

    I'm slightly concerned about making the connection and what our options are if we don't?! (ie is there another flight that day or would we have to wait overnight?) I am assuming that they wouldn't have brought it up as a bookable option if it wasn't possible to make the connection???

    Thanks

    SLC is a doddle -probably one of the easist places to make a connection. Not a big airport at all but still a Delta hub. You'll do the checkin at Vegas anyway right through so it's simply off one plane and straight to the gate for the next. If you ARE worried you could just go to Vegas airport early and ask to be put on the flight before

    Expedia are a joke. I'm in a similar situation and their last website update on this was 16 April.:mad:
    It's not personal, It's strictly business.
