Just booked flights Saturday 7th May - Saturday 14th May for next year, £367.97 return from Gatwick via Copenhagen with Norwegian Air. Great deal, very happy with that price, especially for Saturday flights in May!

Brilliant price.

You might want to book a 'banker' hotel room for the first night or two. The first weekend in May almost always has a big fight scheduled.

Need some advice on MyVegas rewards.

So you have a Facebook account, which has an email address associated with it. You can create an MLife account which also has an associated email address. When you redeem a reward it asks for an email address to send it to and the email is then "locked" to whatever device you are playing on.

My question is what is the relationship between all these email addresses and accounts? Do you have to send the reward to an email which is associated with your Mlife account? Or does it not matter?

Do you have to associate a FB account with an Mlife account? If so can you only redeem rewards generated from the corresponding FB acount?

I'm confused!

No I've never used Norwegian before, and I don't know anyone who has either. I've looked around online and seem to be hearing mixed things. The planes themselves are brand new which is great, but being a budget airline everything costs extra (food, seat assignment, checked bag, alcohol etc.). I'm also slightly concerned about the punctuality, as I booked the London-Copenhagen and Copenhagen-Vegas flights separately (this is the only way you can do it on their site), so if the first set of flights is delayed I'll be !!!!!!ed.

So yes a great price, but some compromises!

hi
Have you been to vegas before? when my brother and i first went(2014) we set up an Mlife account in reagrds the Mlife card(you get points when you play slots, any table games, and can save a % when buying things in a mlife property)and we gave them our email address then and there.

as for the Myvegas facebook email address question,when we did it for the first time(this year) we got emails stating something like we had purchased the rewards, and i *assume* it was like on a system somewhere.
I am not 100% sure it matters if your myvegas and your Mlife email adress's matter, But for US we put it in the same email address's for both.
I hope it helps a tad, best of luck !!

Ok thanx very much for your feedback!!
being from edinburgh, my brother and I have found it hard to find good priced flights and the best way (i feel) for us is going direct from glasgow.But we are always on the lookout for good deals and It seems flying in direct is a good option(though i am in paitent) and I guess i do panic in case we mis a connection.

best of luck!

flew with NA to Gran Can 2 years ago, and flying with NA (norwe...) next month to Gran Can....
They are like Ryanair, with nicer toilets!

Sounds a super plan to get to Vegas on the cheap, might have to look at those options myself come September ready for July next year

Just thought I'd pipe up again with all this talk of Vegas flight pricing.
Played right and a little effort put in you can fly in the front of the plane for the same price as traveling down the back.

Just as an example our last 2 flights to Vegas (3rd. coming up in September) have cost us no more than £550 each and consist(ed) of 2 BA First class returns and one Virgin Upper.

Granted it's not all plane sailing (see what I did there lol) and sometimes you have to be pretty flexible on when you want to go but it works for us. We haven't flown in Economy for probably 10 years now.

Tesco Clubcard used to be the way to go but they have cottoned onto Paid to Shop so selling dongles, mobile phones, reserving Video games sadly no longer works. (But I have accumulated over half a million Avios while it lasted.)
It's more about credit card sign up bonuses and 241 vouchers now.

Mosey over to Head for Points to find all the latest ways of "traveling above your means for less" (I should trademark that)

Thanks for the reply. I have been a few times but many years ago, before MyVegas and Mlife.

My partner and I will both open Mlife accounts as we are both playing MyVegas slots. Can I add the Rewards to either Mlife account i.e. is there any association between Mlife and where the rewards originated? Is it just the "Purchaser Name" on the Reward?
