Hi, can I ask those that have done DUB-LHR-LAS and return advice on a connection from Dublin to my local airport LBA. Is 2 hours connecting time enough? It will be a separate ticket so we will need to collect luggage from the LHR-DUB then check in for the Ryanair flight DUB-LBA. I believe we will need to go from terminal 2 to terminal 1 aswell.
Thank you.

If all goes to time then yes.

However if the LHR-DUB  flight is late, then it's anyone guess.

If it was me I'd allow at least 4 hours bewteen flights and would ensure I'm not on the last LHR--DUB flgith incase it gets cancelled.

Thank you. If they did cancel the flight from LHR to DUB, could I then just make my own way back to Leeds and not go to Dublin? I know you can't choose to end your journey in London but if they cancel it and there isn't another flight that day would that be an option?

No

They would put you on the next flight, whenever that is, hence it's a good plan to not be scheduled on the last flight as you may have to fly the next day.

Now if you did not have any hold luggage it's a different story :0

We would definitely have hold luggage so I will keep that in mind. Thank you.

I last went in 2017 and have been a number of times to Vegas, it's nice to see a lot of familiar names still on here and still visiting Vegas!

I'm getting unnecessarily confused by reading all the Covid pre-travel advice.

If you're double jabbed, you just need your vaccination proof, and the usual info which the airline asks for before you fly.

No tests, no attestation forms...

Yeah, take your proof. Defo no tests for jabbed folks… not sure about attestation but that’s a 60 second job at checkin (at the worst) if I recall 👍🏻 

Side note - not looked into it but Cosmo seems to have a 50% off Cyber Monday sale at the moment if it’s of interest to folk

In Vegas at the moment,  flew out with BA yesterday. 
We had to upload proof of vaccination to the BA website about 72 hrs before our flight and electronically sign attestation form at the same time.
Received a reply about 5 mins later that all docs were correct.

Thank you! Have got Covid proof, and I think I read somewhere that Virgin Atlantic will be in touch 72 hours before, to get contact details (so similar process to BA it seems).

I’ve often ended my journey in LHR, then caught a flight to ABZ. Nothing happens. That’s flying with BA. The trick is to choose the Dub flight from Gatwick, they then unload your luggage at LHR

Excited!  Just booked my 18th trip to Vegas in January staying 6 nights at the VDARA.  When I went in April this year some of the buffets didn't seem to be open ( I know Aria's has been replaced with a find court).  Any recommendations for a decent breakfast buffet on the strip?
