V-Flyer

I'm up for something here (never been to any v-flyer 'do' before), but I 'm entered into B2B, and have the time booked off work - now where is that upper class sale?

Crispin

Well Mrs Buns & I have succumbed and have now booked flights[:w] (although it is highly likely that Mrs Buns will not be able to participate in the Run itself[:#]

Let's hope it lives up to the wonderful time had last year

buns

Was thinking of it for a moment so just checked.

There is a 'G' on the way out on the 13th (the party plane?) but none until 18th July on the way back !

I assume that if there are no G's then it wont be possible to book PE then do a miles upgrade?

The UC fare is just way out of my price range

The 'Party' bus is on Wednesday the 12th I believe - at least I hope so as we are booked in PE[:w]

One option we contemplated was booking some U tickets (PE Rewards) with the hop of some Gs becoming available later, but as we need the Tier Points, we have gone for a sale fare

buns

There were G's outbound in the 11th and 13th but not the 12th,

Wonder who got them [:?][:?][:?]

Me too[:(!][:(!]

When I was talking to Premier, she recalled talking to V Flyers earlier in the week[:w]

Time will tell

buns

It's early to tell if G will become available closer to the flight, and this is one that has a lot of savvy folks waiting to pounce, but FWIW never had problems with G becoming available a couple of days before the flight for a Wednesday flight. It does mean buying an S instead of a K fare and carrying some risk, or you can try buying K and changing it to an S should the G inventory become available.

This is not just any Wednesday it is a Party Bus Wednesday ...

Ok, who is coming to Vegas after ?

Our plan (Steve & me) is to head to San Diego on Virgin America the day after the run - Mon 17th. After a few nights there we're driving to Palm Springs on or around Thu 20th for six nights before heading home ex LAX on 26th.

We thought we'd give Vegas a miss this year but now Pete's gone and put a spanner in the works by tempting us along to a day long cabana party at the Mandalay at some point the week of the 20th!! Last year's cabana day was excellent so we're very tempted!

Not sure if logistics will mean we can make it to Vegas, we just need to finalise the San Diego element of our itinerary, so keeping things fluid for the moment [:)]

Cheers
James

I missed that cabana party last year and the opportunity to go this year is tempting. Same with the B2B itself.

Chuck-

Jenn (Mrs Scrooge) is working on something as well, a little night out for us all.

It seems that FRANK MARINO and his partner are friends of hers, who knew [?]
So she just dropped his partner an email seeing about getting a block of tickets for one of the nights.

This will either be for the Monday or Tuesday night, I am thinking Tuesday, just to give everyone a chance to recover a bit.

Once we have numbers figured out I will start looking for restaurants.
How many people will have cars ? The reason being I am thinking maybe the Geisha House, it's a little hole in the wall place a couple of miles east of the strip, The bitches seemed to enjoy it AND our veggie friends can have a full blown meal there without any messing around.

Oh come on Chuckie!

Following B2B, Mrs Buns & I will be travelling to Vegas on the Monday and returning to SFO on the Friday

Happy to 'go with the flow' and the chance to see Frank does seem tempting[;)]

now to find a good deal on a Hotel - so much to choose from[}:)]

There is a good deal on at the Wynn/Encore if you book your stay through PTS. The offer is first night free on stays for 2 or more nights, and you still get full FHR benefits, just saved us $250 for our stay at the end of the May. You will need to get the PTS agent to all the hotel to get the deal, but worked all fine.

Thanks guys[y][y]

Buns, you and Mrs. B. should come to Palm Springs for at least one day. We have very reasonable hotels here, and perhaps you'll be here for Steve's birthday![^] If you come, I'll cook for you -- promise!

Chuck-

Now booked a PCOOL-rate suite at THEhotel - thanks for that find, Darren.

Pete

Steve and I are keen to book a day trip to the wine valleys, probably on the Friday after we arrive in San Fran. Anyone else interested or has any recommendations? Essentially we're after being picked up in the morning and delivered back in the evening with tours of a few vineyards and (of course [8D]) lots of wine tasting throughout the day [y]

James

Been a long time since I've been up to Sonoma/Napa, so might well be up for that myself.
