    I read somewhere that this lawsuit will allow any lawsuit involving them to be based in LV, and will hopefully be more sympathetic to them than anytown USA.

    Hi guys,

    I went Vegas about ten years ago. I'm looking at booking flights for next year but cant seem to get a good price. By the time ive added baggage its coming out super expensive.

    Where do you all book through? Any tips?

    TIA :beer:

    In your opinion what constitutes a good price?
    Not planning a 2019 Vegas holiday (yet) but have seen £545 direct flight with Virgin from Manchester and £600 with Thomas Cook airlines.
    IMO they are great prices for direct flights.

    I normally book with Expedia but the hotel direct (especially if you play My Vegas game).

    Gone up slightly to £565 but Expedia has a Virgin/Delta flight on 5th May 2019 for 7 nights direct from Manchester.

    A week later the price is still £545.
    I have to be honest I 'm not sure whether that includes a checked in bag or not but still a decent price.

    Paid £750 each (ouch) this year so IMO that's a bargain but partner not keen on going back so soon.

    Keep trying to persuade your partner. I’m not sure when we can get back due to unforeseen medical stuff, so am telling everyone to go if they can. I hope you go for it. I’ll probably looking out for trip reports and still be waiting.

    How long is Euston to Manchester Piccadilly by rail - a couple of hours if that - then a night at the airport for an early flight and you would be still quids in - and who knows you might have time for a tour of a great football stadium :D:D

    Go on sky scanner, click each airport individually and all of May. It shouldn't cost a grand each

    I live in Norwich tho and drive, it!!!8217;s bad enough driving to and from London, def not doing it to Manchester and back.

    We have flown from Norwich many times but have also missed connections a few times.

    As for the tour...happy with sitting in Carrow Road each home game (was supposed to be a smiley wink face here but my I pad generated a load of numbers instead)

    Haven!!!8217;t looked in to cost of flights from Norwich to Manchester, that may be an option
