Hi all sorry to hear about all you canceled flights :(sucks!!

Has anyone done the connection in texas to vegas?? the airport looks fairy large on the map just wondering how easy it is to get around and stuff, we have 1hr 45 Min betwen flights so im sure thats long enough but just making sure

Cheers

If it's Dallas, the airport is HUGE. There's a train link to get you between the terminals. We went through it last week and it went quite smooth but it is a large airport and as we were already in the USA, didn't need to go through immigration queues...... I think that 1h 45m could be tight if you need to clear immigration and customs. That said, people often connect with less time! Lol

Cheers as always for all the offers Luci! :T

heads up to everyone, some nice prices here - still some rooms @ around ($38.25 + tax + resort) a night though ~~~> ($57.33 in real terms - spoilt slightly because of those cursed $12.95 resort fees!)

Encore
MAY Special Signup Offer - Stay 3 Nights for just $399 - From: $133/nt Book by 3 June

https://reservations.wynnlasvegas.com/index.html?hid=elv#

Any code for this or additional details? Followed the link but just getting three rather 'generic' offers. - assuming it may be for the month of May only?

Arrived in Vegas on Sunday afternoon,internal flight from LA,saw a BA and Virgin plane parked up at LA and a BA one in Vegas...Got chatting to a group of lads staying at the Platinum who were due to fly home last week but their return is now scheduled for a week on Tuesday which is probably later now....

One of the family members I know over here works for one of the off strip hotels they put up the 300 plus passengers for the first cancelled flight they stayed there till Sunday at BA's expense but from today they are having to pay for their stay themselves

Hi All,

Should of been flying to Vegas Tuesday afternoon and staying in the Bellagio. Obviously this isnt happening now.

Has anyone had any luck speaking with Expedia yet? can you get a refund?

You might be ok as airspace may be open tomorrow

When you fly into the US you have to collect your luggage and then just stick it onto another belt, really straight forward...hopefully!

AHHHHH don't suppose anyone can help?!?!?

Long story short was meant to be flying to SanFran today, obviously this didn't happen. Have just managed to get flights to Vegas from Manchester on Wednesday, I'm trying not to get too excited as know it may not happen.

Thing is I have cancelled my hotel reservation at Planet Hollywood and they can't reinstate the booking. There will be 3 of us for 7 nights but being so close to departure I'm not finding much. We were paying £460 all in but understand we will have to pay more now... would we be okay just turning up somewhere without a reservation?!? Just in case we don't make it??

Any ideas where to get decent deals so close to departure?

Thanks for any advice...
