    Hi all
    I have downloaded the my Vegas app and had a few spins.

    I am confused though. Can anybody explain it to me simply.

    I go to Vegas in August. So I keep playing and then print out boychers before I go snd then redeem at the mylife desk? Is this correct?

    I am a bit confused.

    Is there a bad time to fly into Vegas ? ;)

    Flyertalk forum know all the rules but a 20 minute change is nothing and unless you have a flexible ticket then the chances of cancelling with a refund are zero IMO, not sure a 2 hour change is even enough and it also depends how long before travel you are informed.

    out of interest why have you had second thoughts

    I want to fly into San Francisco a few days earlier, spend a few days there then hire a car and drive to Vegas. Then fly out of LV back home.

    I was thinking it would be cheaper to rebook if I could rather than paying to change my booking I've already got - flying into Vegas.

    Another option was to keep my flights as they are and get an internal flight to San Francisco.

    Stick with WestJet, so u can fill us in! Its a new route starting with them, so it should be nice new stuff hopefully from here to Canada....

    I was gonna book with them last year, as the Gatwick-Toronto-LV route was looking good at £550..... I didn't book in the end as I left it too long and the baggage stuff changed, adding £100 extra to the flight......
    Reviews about them as a whole are quite good, so the long-haul from Gatwick into Canada should be good!
    Or at least u will be telling us all that when u go from next month, onwards, etc.....

    *** GATWICK PARKING ***
    Anyone help with some hidden gems ? Need to park for 2 weeks, but for some bizarre reason, its costing £140 + to park, which is odd, real odd!!
    So if anyone knows of drive-way parking, or just good priced places to park, I'm all ears! :D

    I booked after the baggage changed so I've got to add that on top ☹️

    I think I'll ring and see what the price is to change my flight to a few days earlier flying into SF instead of LV. I might even cheekily see if they'll waive the change of booking fee

    Let us know how you get on, they may class it as a new booking rather than a change , will be good to know how flexible they are
