No we were slumming it with the riffraff on Southwest. There is not one single lounge in T1.:(:(:eek:
Wasn't bad only an hour delay. 3 of the 4 runways are operable
We got some good footage as we taxied past the burnt out wreck.

Don't think the flight arrivals stopped for long at all, they seemed to keep coming in.

Four? And we've been arguing about a third runway at LHR for thirty years??? And LHR has more flights on two runways?


Bring on Boris Island.

indeed on the <eye roll>...but hey, at least you get free stuff? sometime within the next 4 years or so they will no doubt increase the limit and I will be grumbling about not being a "senior".

I can't see them changing it anytime soon ferf, It's been like that since we first visited in 2000.

Most of the casinos are 50, but only the off strip ones have good freebies. 4Q and Sam's Town are 55. The half price bus pass is 60, Stratosphere tower entry was 62 last time we went up there, but it has been a while. I can't think of any more just now.

Still got 9 years to go (I'm really not liking that or feeling ready for those sort of bargains lol), however did notice them advertised at Silverton and GVR.

and thanks very much for the info and links lvh,im trying to be more money savvy here and it seems i learn something new whilst reading these boards an go gee i wonder how that works, so thanks very much !

The B.A plane , gee that looks scarry but atleast i think it was better happening on the ground than in the air!
I saw a brief picture of it on the news and i saw a plane moving close to it!! though it looked like the moving plane was on another runway so might have been my eyes
