Hi All,

Does anyone know if resort fees are included when booking a package deal through lastminute.com???


If there are additional resort fees does anyone know what they would be for MGM?


Thanks

In my experience, no they're not. When we were booking, Lastminute were a bit cheaper than Lowcostusa but didn't specify. I phoned them (Lastminute) and the advisor wasn't sure. He phoned the hotel we were looking at (Vdara) and then confirmed that we'd have to pay the resort fee on top if we booked through them. Mr Lastminute was also very pushy and actually phoned me back at midnight to chase the booking - claiming I'd asked him to ring back then :eek:. That all put me right off so we booked with Lowcost!

Thats a great price but is it LA you want to go to rather trhan Vegas or do you still have to factor in getting to Vegas after already doing an indirect to LAX

just checked that flight and it gets better as the Paris LAX leg is on an A380, tempted to book it myself, long way to Birmingham though

Just one word of caution :cool:

Flights schedules this far ahead can be changed significantly by the airline as they expand\contract routes flown\passenger loads etc.

So try not to book anything like overnight airport hotels\parking unless its free to change.
(I know you're OK on the way out )

Keep an eye out on for changes either on KLM web-site maybe around Dec\Jan or even April .

Good price though:D

We live in the midlands so we will save on airport parking and we are going for nearly 3 weeks, so the plan is to stay in LA for 4 or 5 days and then drive to vegas for 13 or 14 days then return for a LA the night before flying home, thought about hiring a car for a week then again at the end to get back to LA.

Is the A380 a good plane then ?
