ENTERTAINMENT TAKES FLIGHT!


We're very excited about our new A330 aircraft, which will be available for you to enjoy from April 2011. But the best news is yet to come! As well as the comfortable Premium Economy and Economy seats, the planes will also be fitted with the Panasonic eX2 inflight entertainment system.

The new system will give you full connectivity onboard, including the ability to make phone calls and send and receive texts and emails using your own mobile devices.

You'll also be able to plug in a USB and view your own content on your seatback screen and in Premium Economy and Upper Class, you'll also be able to plug in mobile devices to play music, videos, pictures and documents!

The new cutting edge system will even allow you to read film reviews from leading critics and rate films yourself while creating playlists and catching up with live news updates, destination videos, and interactive maps.

Can anyone give me their views / advise for the Paris Hotel please? We are looking at 7 nights in June 2011 as part of our honeymoon. If I book through ebookers, then after quidco, it would be £435 for a standard room for the week. Is that a good deal? Should I hold out from booking it to see if any deals / upgrades turn up? Has anyone here been to Paris and is it ok?
Cheers ears

We stayed at Paris last year for a week and really enjoyed it. It didn't feel too big and was quick and easy to get onto the strip. Also links right into Bally's which can be handy.

£435 is not bad for a week but it probably won't be refundable to there's no flexibility if something else comes up in the meantime (which is very likely) - however, some people prefer to get things booked up so they can budget for everything.

Monte Carlo

If it wasn't for the resort fees this would be a good deal,

Paris, good alround Hotel, right in the centre of the strip as for the price I would wait for some of the promo's to come out, the $20 dollar tip works and you can have a view over the fountains at Bellagio.

Unfortunately I think we have to accept the fact that the Resort Fees at most of the big chain casino companies are here to stay. It wouldn't be quite so hard to swallow if they didn't word them in such a way as to try to make us believe that they are actually doing us a favour by charging us for these, and if they loosened up their slots so as to give us a little longer on a machine for our $'s and dropped the minimum table stakes a bit. Just so we feel more wanted and appreciated, instead of just cashcows.

Some time ago, thanks to Luci's post here, Hubby and I have booked Excaliber Tower Room for 5 nights in spetember for $317.43 (inc all resort fees etc) and were thinking of trying the $20 trick.

We can get the MGM Monte Carlo Deluxe Room offer from the above post for $429.30 (inc all resprt fees etc)

Thoughts? Worth the extra $110? And could we do the $20 at MGM Monte Carlo ?

It's funny, because I wouldn't...though I've never stayed at MC so I can't say about the rooms or pool...position-wise, I suppose it's better...but we kind of feel like the MC is a bit worn out and run down...while Excalibur certainly has its drawbacks we would choose it over MC I think though it's been years since we've stayed there.

That said MC now has a Cupcakery, so maybe I wouldn't choose Excalibur.
