I was just checking those prices, 6th May and 9th of May £169 from Manchester - and that's with all taxes etc. So tempting - but I've just booked a couple of weeks in Devon!

£169 from Manchester ...eeek , you don't want to pay that much!!!! A few things to remember about the MyTravel flights folks, prices go up at the weekends as thats when most punters pop into the travel agents so they target the easy money, and tickets bought within two weeks of the flight are subject to a £30 airport pick up fee.

Anyone point me toward a good site for a price on flights to Vegas on the 16th for a few days (3 to 4). I've found the hotel deal I want, but now I can't find a flight for less than 400 quid a head !!

I'm in Bristol, so any airport in the south (inc London) is fine. I've been looking for over an hour now and nothing !!!

Anyone help ?

If you go to last minute.com and type in 16-20th May (I presume) there is a flight with NWA (never flown with them so dunn if they're any good) for £355.45 per person. This is not direct. Change in Minneapolis both ways (don't think the wait is more than 2-3 hours)!!

If you were willing to go to Manchester...and could stay in Vegas for a week...My travel will get you there direct for £169.40!!! Not exactly what you asked for, but I only had 5 mins at work!!!

Bristol to Manchester is not that far away. the extra travelling in this country to the Airport is more than off set ( and then some ) by the extra flying time if you are inflexiable about southern / london airports and go indirect.

what hotel deal have you seen by the way jon 01????

tickets bought within two weeks of the flight are subject to a £30 airport pick up fee.

do they not do E-tickets then.??? i would have thought they would of, to cut costs.
sounds like a sneaky add on , as pretty much most other airlines manage with you printing your own ticket these days

The Mytravel flights included all the extras, which was why I was so surprised. I imagined they would stick taxes etc on top but if you looked at the pricebreakdown it was all there...and I think it's going to rain in Devon next week!

I was thinking of the Excalibur ( https://reservations.mgmmirage.com/bookingengine.aspx?pid=EXC&host=promo&code=em781&kbid=275588&sub=vhs1 )
or the Luxor ( https://reservations.mgmmirage.com/bookingengine.aspx?pid=LUX&host=promo&code=PGET21&kbid=27920 ) dpending on the cost of the flight. The mytravel price is very good, but I can't do 7 days, I'm looking at 4 at the most and as far as I can tell they don't do less than 7 ?

trets77

shame because 4 days may cost you more than 7 .

Luxor is the better Casino IMO. Tower Rooms are supposed to be the best choice , the $20 trick may get you upgrade on the cheap if you book Pyramid.

and I think it's going to rain in Devon next week!

The Times predicted a "wash out " week down south. Make the call !!! :rolleyes: :cool: :cool: !!!
