This is our first trip report so please bear with us!

The sole purpose of this trip was to celebrate our one year anniversary( we were married in Las Vegas last year)and we took my husband's parents along for the ride to show them the sights and sounds of Las Vegas.

Living on Merseyside our journey began with a flight from Manchester with BA on the 24.09.05 to enable us to check in our cases using the twilight check-in facility. Unfortunately our BA experience was not a happy one as one of our cases was badly damaged despite being placed down the fragile channel at Manchester. Not a promising start to our holiday. We then purchased a new case, frantically re-packed it and rushed over to the Virgin Atlantic Desk to twilight check in. This is a wonderful service and really takes the pressure off the following morning and we highly recommend this service to all V-Flyers.

We then had an evening in the Le Meridian Hotel which was convenient and relaxed after our mishap with our case.

The following morning we had booked four passes to the Virgin Gatwick Clubhouse. This was a wonderful experience , very relaxed and set the tone for the start of our holiday. Again we recommend this very highly to all V-Flyers.

Boarding the flight was organised efficiently and we had pre booked seats 59 A,B,C and D and boarding was in time for the planned departure at 10.45am. Unfortunately the first officer for this flight had phoned in sick and we had to wait for 30 mins for the stand by flight officer to attend. We then took off approx one hour late.

The flight was the standard that we have come to expect from Virgin Atlantic and the reason that we use them regularly. The plane was Ladybird and the food and the Entertainment was up to the usual high standard - a long flight made enjoyable by the service of the CC.
