Sorry if this has been asked/answered elsewhere, I can't find it. I've just booked with Virgin for March staying in Paris. It included breakfast credit each day, but no detail as to value per person per day, or where it can be used. Virgin online chat could not help. Anyone on here have any idea?

TIA

I dont know the answer. cant even see where it mentions breakfast credit on virgin site. If it is a credit on your room account it will most likely be able to be used anywhere in paris or possibly any other Caesers property

out of interest did you price up the same holiday DIY rather than a package

Hi

I arrived in Vegas last night and it's great to be back. Personally, my favourite time is when it's 100+ degrees (nothing like stepping out of the airport for the first time and experiencing the hairdryer wind!) so it's a little strange to be a bit chilly at nights. I have a couple of quick flight queries and I thought I'd post here rather than the flights section. Hope I chose correctly!

Firstly, I flew with BA direct from Heathrow. I started my trip in Aberdeen and checked in almost exactly 24 hours prior to checkin as that was the earliest I was told that I could check in. Incidendtally, I checked into both flights 24 hours prior to the Aberdeen flight and therefore checked in more than 24 hours before the Vegas flight. Upon going to choose my seat, I was gutted to see that there were only FIVE seats available to choose on the Vegas flight! All others were booked out. Now, surely, not everyone had checked in before me as I checked in about 1 minute after I was able to and actually checked in more than 24 hours before the flight. I couldn't even purchase seats (which I would have done if possible at that point as I really wanted a window seat). Did I miss something here? I've checked my flight home and, again, the app tells me I check in 24 hours prior to departure. I'll buy a seat if I have to but does anywone know how almost ALL of the seats were unavailable as soon as checkin opened? Is it likely that everyone bought their seats? Or had connecting flights before mine (I had a 4 hour wait in Heathrow so unlikely)? Or did BA restrict me for some reason (it was a particularly cheap fare).

Secondly, our flight was delayed. Upon the plane arriving in London apparently one of ground staff damaged something and they had to source another 747. As a result we landed at Mccarran (and the door opened) 2 hours and 50 mninutes later than it was supposed to. Reading the flight delays section here, I understand that there is nothing I can do, claim-wise, as the flight was to outside the EU and was not at least 3 hours...is that correct? In all fairness the cabin crew were awesome and dealing with some rather cranky passengers.

Thanks all
