    You got two room rewards or two nights? I get an error message if I try to get more than one room reward at a time. I was told the first one had to be used before you could buy another.

    Maybe that rule has changed.

    We got 3 nights in total using a 2 night comp on my account and using one night comp on the Mrs account. You can only use one hotel comp per account every 30 days.

    Flown with BA once to Vegas, never again.



    the A/C wasnt working, was most uncomfortable flight I have ver been on , it was sooo hot! was a few years ago now though so they may have changed the type of aircraft they use


    It was also direct, looks like you are suggesting you are not flying direct

    Nope they still use their oldest 744's

    Wooohooooooooooooo !!!!
    Off to Vegas next week ! :D:D (crazy flight plan like last year! :D )

    Just kinda hoping some miracle happens over the weekend, and the buy rate on the dollar goes back upto $1.40 !!!! :D:D

    Any of you guys flown with BA to Vegas ? Were flying on Friday, hopefully not a stag party flight day ?!

    We only fly in thepointy end but from what I've heard it's not pleasant out back.

    Don't know if you realise but you will be flying into T5 and out of T3. The DUB gates are A22-A23 and separate from all the other connections.

    Now seeing that we made this mistake I'm going to pass it on to you. DO NOT follow all the connecting flights signs. You will end up landside and have to get the tube or HEX to T3.
    As you get out of the airbridge the signs for connections takes you to the left, but there is also a closed door that says "connections" straight in front of you. There should be someone there but if not stand there and someone will come to see you. Show them your boarding pass for LAS and they will let you in, there you follow the signs for connections and just get the bus.

    Have a look here
    Hope this helps

    Stuie, the BA 747s I have travelled on the last few times ( although not to LV) are now showing their age imo. Depends how many in your party, there are a few rows of 2 seats near to the rear of the plane which offer a little more privacy if there are two of you.

    I was surprised that the aircraft didn't even have power sockets either plug or usb whereas the more modern BA will.

    As long as the plane is safe and they feed and water you, what more could one ask for on an economy ticket. Up front you should expect better.

    Have a good trip.
