I'm never going indirect again, with all the aggro and cancellations with short haul flights in the new world.

Exactly how I see it. At 5pm when you are stuck at a gate in Chicago and realise you could already be in Vegas if you'd paid the extra hundo..... shudder. www.summerinvegas.com

Lovely until I got a text from Delta as I was checking out of the Wynn to head to the airport saying the Vegas-LA flight was cancelled Clerk at Wynn says 'you need another night?'. I thought they must have some deal for people with cancelled flights post-covid, and was obviously very happy. Then he told me the hotel was quite full and it would be over $1k!

The one I was specifically looking at was BA via Phoenix which is total flight time 13h 12 opposed to the 10h 40 for direct. 1h 2 transfer time seemed potentially a bit tight so what's the risk of missing the connecting flight? I assume they have to sort it if you book both legs as one flight but you could end up hanging around a bit? This one actually gets you to Vegas more than 4 hours sooner but with the downside of having to drive down to London at about 4am......

Bear in mind that you clear customs and US border at the point of entry, so you should be concerned about that tight connection - even in Phoenix

Assuming it's 50? Asking for a friend Think all/most are 50. It usually tells you when you click on it. I know the Venetian one on the 25th June is 50, researched that one for a friend.

We got here all ok no drama Apart from me getting a bit canned up on free champagne in the virgin clubhouse All documents relating to Covid were thoroughly checked at Heathrow and not one fk was given in vegas Although we were told they are randomly checking odd people - however as we are just regular weird and not at all odd we were ok 😂😂 90-120 mins on the phone yesterday before I spoke to a human and we now fly back on July tenth That’s the soonest seat availability in economy apparently after July 4 th All monies declared in vegas no problem no drama 5-10 extra minutes and a thank you from border control No explanation required very smooth n easy

An Upper Reward seat came on this morning going out on the 24th June. Can confirm it is 58k points + £330 to update from economy delight. Get to try out the clubhouse at Heathrow for the first time.

Good stuff Doobs. Don't forget the security fast track as well, for me that's an even better benefit than the clubhouse. How did you find out about the ticket? I'm on seatspy but for some reason the alerts aren't working for me at the moment.
