    hi stoneman
    that looks an amazing deal for business class...did you find it on the American airlines website?
    and the flamingo deal looks fantastic! where did you find that if i can be so nosey and ask?
    Google flights is your friend for finding any flights, you just have to know where to start the journey. 
    google flights search for hotels
    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.

    Hi Bobbyhibs
    If you are after good deals in business in particular, I recommend  you follow Flyertalk, Head for Points and Turning Left for Less. It may take a bit of navigating at first though, so don't be surprised if you at first feel a bit overwhelmed :) For economy flights, Secret Flying on Facebook is another good source. 
    @stoneman Hope you are not affected by the travel ban ex Schengen. Husband and I were super tempted to book the same deal. But as we have our flights booked already for May, we didn't in the end. 73 days until we go!

    Nobody seems to have mentioned this on here (sorry if I haven't gone back far enough on Search) but all MGM properties are closing their Buffets for a month because of Coronavirus. It means all MYVegas buffets are nil and void with points being put back into your account.

    I know, although I suppose strictly speaking by looking for a deal for business is very MSE :) We're flying business for the first time to Vegas this time, thanks to the Amex 241 voucher. I have a feeling it may ruin us for the future!

    A lot of buffets and restaurants are closing. Lots of sporting events are being postponed. Shows are being closed too, from what I have been reading online. 
    If they do what Spain has just done and closed all bars and restaurants, it will be pointless going anyway. There is only going to be one bar open in NYNY from Monday. A cocktail waitress I know from there just posted the letter that all the staff received yesterday.
