So am I, and they've pricematched for me!

Let us know how you get on! Good luck!

Excellent! Did you get to choose what flights with Virgin you wanted? Delta seems only to have 1 flight per day whereas Virgin have 4....

Will Virgin price match on their Las Vegas route, perhaps not since they are the only airline to fly direct?

Yeah I did get a choice but, if they're pricematching, I'd reckon they'd be well in their rights to offer you either a similar time flight, or the lowest fare flight they have......

Think you've answered your own question there Richard! Nothing comparable for them to price match..... and I doubt they'd price match against an indirect flight..... but like I said before - if you don't ask, you don't get!

no i was going to get the first flight in the morning.if there's enough time. 2 hrs and 15 mins between flights and the same on the way back. what do you think?

If you are buying too separate return tickets, I'd say that it is too risky. If the BA flight is an hour late, you could miss the LGW-JFK flight.

Hiya

I tried booking a flight and it kept telling me the session had expired please try again. I hope it comes back later. Maybe they have sold out!!.

Thanks for the tip though Martin xx

There might be good fares to onward destinations via Delta's hub at JFK, from LGW.

I've visited the link and can't seem to get the £160 offer to work?? I'd like to travel btwn mid-Jan returning mid-Mar. With this in mind, my real preference is to fly LGW to PHL as JFK is a bit far from home. Any suggestions to either? Might be worth going to JFK if I could find a cheap way to get to Philadelphia!
