    American Airlines sale on - Vegas from £318...book by 19th April...some dates in November and early December are actually £311.

    Not direct, but may be cheap enough for some to consider.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    They are not my dates trets. I think someone else wanted the fight dates. My dates are 4 July - 20 July and aren't available on your link and we aren't flexible.

    Saying that Ive booked now and thankfully at a lower price than the American airlines sale prices linked to above but still £600 each. Some sale eh!

    ooops sorry BAZ i,m getting you confused with BAZLOVEJOY who was going to try and see the Del a hoya fight, but now wants try and see Ricky hatton (on june 23rd i believe )


    at least you have great airline in American Airlines , 10 hours on Virgins pack em in economy seat pitch is near torture . i believe AA have at least 2 " MIN extra pitch.

    same old story with them all though isn,t it . the kids get out of a school , they let prices climb sky high.

    enjoy your trip !!!!

    I love your photos trets, were staying in the Wynn for a few nights. I got a great rate of £47 per night, so that saves a bit on the flight cost I guess. Do you have an online album of those pictures, id love to see them all. Really wetting my apetite for Vegas they do.

    Thanks

    yes i think so . try going through the opening page by attempting to book a package holiday not a flight on it,s own

    example as follows.

    20 -27th june as sun package holiday (flights only appears- all thats left by the looks of things) brings up a price of £441 per adult in the vegas fly drive per adult ( has a picture of a desert highway)

    click the get quote button and a exclusive online discount has been deducted = £401

    deselected the on board meal and travel foundation donation ( sorry i,m paying enough greedy gordon green tax already !!) = price of £385

    unless i am miss reading something this includes car hire !!! which cannot be removed ( well it can but does not affect the price so why bother)

    it also gives departure times are 9.10 am with arrival of 12.10am in Vegas ...ideal and similar to Virgin.

    they do not run everyday so be a wee bit flexiable with dates to fit with flights

    any futher help need just ask ;)

    have PM you with details Baz

    Thanks trests but do MyTravel not charge you to take out their "gold insurance" for the car hire" which is about £100 for a week. I want a flight out to Vegas in June and I looked at flydrives but I don't really need a car for the entire week. Is it possible to deselect the car?

    Thanks
