I wasn't going this year, but was kind of forced into it... Yeah, yeah, I know, sounds stupid.
I can't stay at home on my own, as I need help with everything etc. Old man had a bunch of airmiles, so I was lucky.
In other years when I have intended to go, I start planning before Xmas, and you can never go far wrong doing that.

I've never used them, but when you go with some packages on ebookers/expedia, there are flight options, and a 1stop is often one of the Virgin options.
Was looking for a mate last week, as he might come out for UFC in July, and it was only about £50 more to have the Virgin direct both ways, over the one stop on the way out.
Sadly, the virgin going there is £250 more.
Note that the £179 quoted by Norwegian Air EXCLUDES checked baggage, seat reservations or meals.

How comfortable is it going to be flying that distance ??
In a plane normally used to fly to Majorca ?
It may be ok to Boston / New York /Toronto 5 hours , but 11 hours is different gravy

I think the Norwegian flights are on 787 Dreamliners. Very comfortable although I flew on Virgin to LA on one. Norwegian might have a different configuration.

Correct.
It's interesting to note that their ticket price of £179 INCLUDEs taxes & fuel surcharge of £133.50, so the cost of a 1 way ticket ex taxes & fuel surcharge is £45.50. This excludes checked baggage, meals & seat reservation.
Makes you think, does it not?

Pretty sure the Linq has had a complete refurb, so I'd be more inclined to go with there.

We've been to Florida quite a bit in recent years
The original plan was to have 10/11 days n do a road trip involving San Diego n Phoenix but left it too late to book a flight over Easter so it's just show her the sights, some pool time ,maybe a show n dinner out ,trip to downtown

Tesco Direct has launched a good new LEGO promotion. You will receive 1,000 bonus Clubcard points (worth 2,400 Avios or 2,500 Virgin miles) when you spend £60 of LEGO Friends before Monday night

Don't know if it's been mentioned on here before, but was just reading today that Norwegian aren't going to be operating any flights to Vegas over the summer due to problems with the 787s not being able to take off properly in the Vegas heat. Apparently the issue is caused by the extra weight on board as they pack nearly 300 seats onto the planes compared with about 200 on other airlines.

It's incredible the number of passengers that Norwegian Air cram into their 787's.
"Norwegian packs
291
seats on to its Boeing 787 -8 models and
344
on to its bigger 787-9s. By comparison, United's 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliner models seat
219
and
252
passengers, respectively.
Their Vegas service ceases in March apparently, & resumes in the Autumn.
