    I'd book with them again-but it's a personal decision -if you're not comfortable with them-then book with another carrier

    Not much of a sale really though just matches the BA price

    BA prices in the sale are very disappointing especially compared to last year's August sale for December flights. I think I'll hang on for a while to see if they get any less. Forever the optimist!! But we are very flexible with our outbound dates so I'll just keep looking. At the moment Virgin work out cheaper for us because we can use miles + money, but .......,

    A bit over reaction I think. They are the largest airline in the world and carry millions of passengers a year. I would never give it a second thought booking with them (we are booked to go to Miami in November)
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    I don't think we will find any prices sub £500 anymore. BA and VS know where to soak the profit from. Just look at the cost of flying LHR to LAX which is further than Vegas, £100 cheaper. Almost makes you think about hiring a car or trying to get a cheap internal flight if there are 2 of you going.
    I think the best prices are only going to come from the U.S. carriers as the Vegas route is not intrical to booking the flight, it's only a connection

    As Stomeman says, fly direct to LAX plus a five hour car journey will save £100x2 in flights and cost maybe £25 for the car, AND get you to Vegas around the same time as an indirect flight. You can also stop at Primm on the way to stock up at the Hollister Outlet.
