We are off next week and booked the cosmo with BA and it included breakfast at the wicked spoon - do you think that means we now get a free brunch???

Absolutely yes. Just returned from staying there and got the brunches comped. I did check on the tv in the room though and they hadn't been taken off the bill, so I checked out downstairs and the guy removed the charges.

Thanks, we'll check after a couple of days and makesure we take the printout that says we get breakfast included! Can't wait, really looking forward to it, can't wait to see the balcony!

Do you know, or is there anywhere to find out wether they are using old planes, new planes or any info at all about the route

All the BA 747's are pretty old now but they all have AVOD and the seats are relatively comfy. Just returned today on the first BA Jumbo out of Vegas and was fortunate enough to have 2 of the seats on the upper deck in club world. Absolutely fantastic.

I believe this flight had the brand new first class cabin too.

The balcony was unbelievable. Our room was on the 67th floor and the view over Bellagio were breathtaking. The rooms themselves are fantastic. I though the Palazzo would take some beating but the Cosmo room trumped that.

Also, all the staff we came into contact with were unfailingly polite and helpful. A great all round experience.

That's reassuring, have heard some poor reviews about it being noisy and issues with housekeeping. Glad you had a good time. We are flying BA, was the 747 busy? We are flying WT+, not expecting much over economy but will appreciate those extra inches of legroom!

Tripp luggage is great, inexpensive as it always in debenhams sale (if not wait till it is), has a long no quibble gtee, and is good quality.

Available from debenhams or direct from Tripp (online)

thank you for the suggestion, will pop into Debenhams tomorrow for a look, can never quite picture luggage with just the dimensions... need to see it in the flesh!

something like this looks promising though

Then make a note of what you like, come home and order it using cashback sites & discount codes, like a true MSE-er!

I have some great luggage cases which are better than all the Tripp ones I've used from Tesco? It's called their Kensington range which is their 'finest luggage's also good for business

If they have any 4-wheeled options, I would seriously consider them...it makes such a massive difference, those 2 extra wheels...
