    Think most on here may not be old enough to get the Abbott & Costello " who's on first" gag. ;)

    The timing in that routine is some of the finest in comedy.
    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.

    In the two class A330 which TC use on this route you have both a toilet, on the left hand side of the aircraft and the galley in the centre and right ahead of you. The toilet is on the other side of the main door, so you shouldn't get the aroma but you may well find a queue of people standing in your leg space waiting to use the toilet and you may be disturbed by the crew if they decide to talk all night!

    In theory those seats have more legroom than any others, but I might be tempted to choose other seats, mainly for the likely queues of people wishing others would 'hurry up'!

    That’s really helpful, thank you. I’ll see if the two at the front right are available and switch to them.

    Hello there,

    Me + 3 friends are looking at booking 10 nights in Vegas next year around June time & are just wondering if anyone has any tips to save money, especially when it comes to the additional resort fees that you need to pay at the hotel?

    We would be looking at staying on the strip

    Thanks in advance

    I wouldn't bother about the resort fees. At the end of the day the final room price per night is important, isn't it? Do you already have any specific hotels in mind?

    hi there

    have you looked at page 1 of the thread? lots of info there in regards sites.
    i think it depends on when you are looking to go in 2018, I think flighs at least are normally avaiable 11months in advance.
    I guess there are pros and cons of booking early, i guess lots of avaaiable seats.hotel rooms, and well you know how much the holiday is gonna be so in theory you are able to save/pay up.
    as i have said loads of sites ideas on page 1 of this thread but i can recommend mykindatravel as a company. shoot them an email , highly recommened.
    kind regards

    hi
    As other posters above have said in regards page 1 of the thread i would reocmmend checking different sites in regards trying to finding the best-cheapest deal. I recommend mykinda travel as a good start , no harm shooting them an email !( hope no one minds me recommending these guys)

    As for resort fees, in my experince there super tough to get them wavied .I recall our ast trup in 2016 (stayed in the mgm grand) we asked nicely at check in if there was anything they could do to wave them- reduce them,i told the check in lady it was our 3rd time staying there and we were members of mlife (and were 2nd tier-not big status but still something right?) sadly the lady said she could not do anything.
    anyhow since my brother and i did gamble a bit (not loads though) at the end of our trip we asked at the Mlife desk if they could do anything about our resort fee's and well tey said they could and we got money back (i think we got soemthing like $170 back or there abouts)

    hope this helps a lil but feel free to keep asking questions

    Well booked up today for April using $4000 of the travel vouchers we got off of AA. Altogether took 2 phone calls and a total of 2 and a half hours to sort out. Lost the will to live.
    Good price out of DUB though. 2 Business class seats, quick hop down to LHR and catch the Direct to LAS from there. £1,500 each
