    Hi all,

    3.5 weeks now until we fly!

    Anyway, a question. I want to send some chocolates or flowers or some sort of gift to a person in Vegas to say thank you. I'm hoping to get the gift to them within the next day or two so sending it from the UK is not practical. However, having looked on some websites it appears highly expensive to do this with a US company/florist? Any suggestions anyone?

    Good grief, I was thinking about going over to Vegas for Easter, cheapest flight I can get is nearly £650. Only paid £250 a couple of years ago for the same time of the year, mind you that was when Delta had a sale on. I know Easter is only 5/6 weeks away but I was hoping on a flight for under £400. Might have to way up that with the fact I can get the MGM Signature one bed suite for a week for £750, paid over a grand last time I was there and that's when £1 bought you $2.

    Really itching to go again, just wished the flights weren't so dear this time around.

    i always check Dial a flight in the Sunday papers to get the rock bottom price for a flight to Vegas . they will advertise this to get people to call but the reality of getting that price may be that it is very limited .

    anyway £475 is your rock bottom price at the moment . personally if you can get a flight to LV starting with a 5 , grab it i say .
    Better in my pocket than theirs :rotfl:

    if i had to wait that long i'd probably explode. no offence. 13 days seems like forever. yet it will go so quick once i'm there...

    In 2009 (well 2008) when we booked our flights to vegas for our wedding on our virgin online account it kindly gives you the number of days until you fly. I think the day I booked the flights it was something like 331 days to go!!

    now that was a long wait.

    Hi

    As everyone probs knows now I work for Mr Branson but we also use all other carriers

    To get anything at a good price in April is really difficult to get Vegas flights at £500 plus is good going

    Its really really busy on all routes in April, if you see something your half happy with I would book it rather than be disapointed later to find there is either nothing left or just rediculously high in cost


    Thanks
