Anyone have any experience of US Airways? Found a flight with them from LGW 1 stop via Charlotte for £387 each, seems about the best I can find travelling 7th Sept back on the 18th.

ive mentioned it a few times here but us airways have been the worst airline ive flown on in the last 6 years and that includes easyjet and ryanair!

Flew US Airways to philadephia from gatwick, business class (supposedly) and it was like travelling back in time on a plane stuck in the 70's

US Air are not the best but dont be put off they are far from the worse you may or may not get deat back TV's on the transatlantic but the food is fine and you get the same room as any other US carrier. The staff are excellent, my parents cam out US air in Septmeber and loved it. I would fly them beofre Virgin (probably) United is my airline of choice though

Depends on the aircraft if its the airbus a330 then your sorted for the seat back - find the aircraft then have a look on here http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/US_Airways/US_Airways_Boeing_767-200.php

Not going to Vegas until next April but can any experts give me advice on how far I can book shows in advance and what shows are on?

thanks

it depends on the show - most of the Cirque shows only book 3 months or so out...other things book farther out.

I like to use this:

http://www.vegas.com/shows/

To search my dates to see what's on. I normally only search headliners as I'm familiar with most of the other types of shows on in Vegas...but never buy the tickets through vegas.com - always best to book direct with the box office or through one of the deals you can find on ticketmaster or goldstar or various other places.

Evening All,
sorry still can't work out how to post, only reply. Can anyone help me out on this.
Staying at MGM Grand and then onto Caesars Palace, booked "regular" rooms (i.e the cheapest) but am wondering if there are tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms. Can't be without my "first thing" cuppa. Was planning to take my kettle with me (how sad), but thinking that if I didn't have to take it, could get another pair of shoes in my case!
Any help muchly appreciated :A
BTW going on Sunday - yippie

No tea/coffee making facilities at Caesars when we stayed, nor at any of the other hotels. Some have a coffee maker.

We take our trusty travel kettle everywhere.

Most rooms won't have tea and coffee making facilities - those that do have something - usually the 'Diamond' rooms at Caesars and the other HET properties only have a very small coffee maker - though I suppose you could boil water in it for tea but never quite sure how often they are cleaned! We had one in our Palace Tower Deluxe room at Caesars. In general, casino hotels want you to have to go down to the casino area to get your morning cuppa as you may give them some play on the way.

Our last 'normal' length trip of 8 nights we bought a 12 cup coffee maker for $9.96 at WalMart - less than we normally spent on our fancy coffees at the Starbucks or Java Coast. So totally worth it.

:T Hubby has just booked us on the Thomas Cook flight to Vegas on Sunday :T

I think he paid about £950 for the 2 of us (going for 2 weeks).


He says the seats are wider now? Any views guys? Still worth turning up early to try and get into PE?


Just off to look at hotel offers - quite fancy Paris this time I think...

Why do we always leave it so late to book :rolleyes:

Can I ask how you booked this last minute please? I'm looking at last minute deals too, to go in the next couple of weeks. I'm not supposed to be going back to next year but OH has said if I can find some flights for under £1100, then we can go..... :T
