    have a good time Triker... shame, and a bit inconsiderate that you couldn't get back your phones - chin up though, not everyone is like that :)


    Cheers, yeah I know, maybe the person has left the forum, never mind, may just get a sim card this time round and use our personal phones...I only need them to keep track of hubby ;).

    On my must do's I'm hoping to get to M resort, Green Valley Ranch and South Point, amongst other places.

    Well I'm nearly ready...couldn't locate the Vegas phones which I'm a bit narked about...oh well, lesson learned...:(.
    :(:(:( Sorry to hear that.

    From memory though, the phones couldnt topup online over here, and the cost to buy topups over there was broadly the same as going into Walmart and buying new phones with SIM and credit.

    Hi reddeb

    You can pick your seats, you need the PNR locator from Thomas Cook once you have this you can go on VA website and select the seats. Have you booked a package with Virgin?

    3-4-3, with a few 2-4-2 rows at the back. I think you can book seats as soon as you have the VS booking code eg XDFT1H whch is issued on booking, (ask TC for it) but Virgin now charge you for the priviledge.

    virgin charge you when you book seats ? :(
    i hope not!!!
    I booked my flights via Opodo, got the ref straight away, logged into VA, picked the 2 seats at the back of the plane..........
    And from there, i just assume that as long as i check in 23hrs & 59mins before, i should get those seats ?? without paying ?!

    Hi

    If you have booked a package holiday with Virgin we dont charge for prebooking the seats with the PNR, you need to find out if Thomas Cook has booked a package through Virgin or done it seperate

    I dont think that VA charge either, they do open the rest of the aircraft seats 24 hours before as only selected allocation is loaded before then

    Thanks
