    not sure what's meant by this? :undecided
    Me neither. They ask for opinions but when it's not want they want to hear get funny. Look mate, it will be fine, your connecting flights won't go wrong, you will get them dead cheap so that negates the cost factor, and the airline won't mind you dumping the last leg, I mean how would they know anyway, not like they have technology these days. Oh, and don't worry about them having your CC details, not likely to charge you for them losing revenue. There, that better.;)
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
  • Booked Vegas for the beginning of Feb, checking my booking it has a feature? to bid for an upgrade? I booked economy M+M and have bid the lowest amount it allows, my bids are upgrade to premium economy £340 outbound and £285 return, nothing to lose as I was going to upgrade on the return anyway. It seems obvious that empty seats in PE will be allocated to the highest bidders and will progressively (or is that regressively?) go down the list until they're all gone.

    Finances aren't allowing a Vegas trip atm for me so as a little bit of Vegas is coming to the UK and Ireland this month I have a mini trip to Ireland coming up and will be seeing Donny and Marie whilst there as they are touring this month. Naturally it's still MSE Flight to Belfast and back from Dublin £50 Malmaison is £70 for 2 nights in Belfast £8.99 for the train to Dublin and 2 nights in Dublin near the o2 for £70 . Just hope it doesn't snow !! ;)

    You know the Dublin flights to Vegas are coming up as £300 and something......

    I recently cleared out some emails with confirmations of direct Virgin flights for £298...M+M, but still...
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?
