Hope you were on a Euro rather than a US carrier in that case for the EC compensation.

Delta flight on a KLM ticket so i will be trying but not sure under what regulation.

the return flight schedule was changed after we checked in, it confused the agents at LAS and Atlanta, i guess thats why we didnt get our bags

doesn't matter as the flight was to or from an EU country.

Update and credit to KLM within 5 days of me posting on their facebook page, they have offered me 300 euros cash or 500 euros voucher


I may have posted the wrong info originally where I said it was Delta flight, it was Delta from LAS but KLM from Atlanta which is the one that was late

Okay so need some tips about booking flights.

I'm going Sunday 2nd November - Sunday 16th but if a good deal meant I did Saturday-Sunday i'd happily do it.

I've found the following:

BA - Manchester --> Vegas Direct 09:45am-17:35pm
Vegas --> Chicago --> Manchester 06:55am-07:45am

£513

or

BA - Manchester --> Vegas Direct 09:45am-17:35pm
Vegas --> Gatwick --> Manchester 15:40pm-14:10pm

£543

Are these as good as I will find with 1 leg direct with BA and is the later departure time on the return leg worth the extra £30?

The more I look at it, that second journey is back to Gatwick which is practically direct anyway. Just a shame the layover in Gatwick is 3 and a half hours and the flight to Manchester is 25mins!

Sorry but are you sure it's a direct flight out? I didn't think BA flew to Vegas direct from Manchester and I can't find the flight details on their site?

Ah, it says the following:

09:45MAN –17:35LAS
Direct
15h 50
British Airways
Operated by American Airlines


Does that mean it's BA or AA plane/service I'll be getting?

I Dont know if this has been posted before (Sorry if it has) But you can get a Free "Main" at Hash-House a-go-go .
Just go to their Facebook page at the top click on "More" and scroll down to "Join E-Club".

It will ask you for your name email address etc and then a drop down box for your location (i took the plaza). and they will send you a email with a coupon for a free entree.

there has to be a connection somewhere but i cant see the flight on the BA website.

at least one leg will be with AA, that isnt a problem tho

There has to be a connection with a time of 15h 50m. Vegas is 10h 30m
That will be an AA flight booked through BA probably to Chicago from MAN then onto LAS

I hope there's a treadmill in here as I don't want to go outside jogging and I'm doing a 10k early October so need to keep up the jogging while here.

4th or 6th floor, cant remember which.
Or you could just get up early and run the strip, we do it about 8am and it's bearable as long as you stay on the side with Flamingo, Quad, etc, you are in shade most of the way and it's only about 80 degrees:T
