Vegas Trip - The latest news - come and join us.

[preiffer]

For those that haven't yet booked their flights, it may be worth trying out for a chance to go for free in Virgin's competition for flights, hotel & car hire.

They also have two deals here for from VH, just for FC members - Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Combined with the ability to upgrade the flights, the prices look pretty good.

[Pete]

3 Nights at the Luxor between 1 Nov - 3 Dec, £569 based on 2 people sharing inc flights, hotel, transfers and 10% Flying Club discount

Sadly I can't include the gambling chips, cards or other bits used to 'dress' the photo

My Order is in (just shows how much I am looking forward to the social[:I])

Would like to think I might be able to "liberate" the chips etc when I visit the Vegas casinos[:o)][}:)][:o)]

Pete,

Very good,no good for me but love to see the faces on the check in people

[Decker]

Doing my usual availability trawl on the VS20 for the 12th and lo and behold a pile of Ds and Zs have been released! So called Premier Team and joy of joys some more Gs had been made available! So I'm now in UCS both ways - 9K on the way back across the aisle from the original V-Flyer contingent! Sorry to say that I think this G allocation has now been used up but at least there are Zs available!

[Bazz]

Well done Decker, that was a bit of luck! So we now have at least 6 v-flyers in the A zone [8D] Do you know if any of the other guys were also able to cash in?

[Bazz]

Just had a look at the seat map on the VS site and the A zone is nearly full but no seats taken yet in either the B zone or the UD (in UC that is).

[Decker]

I'm fairly sure Pix got the last G

[Bazz]

Just you and Pete then?

[Decker]

Regretfully due to ticketing rules the companion Ss can't be upgraded - well not until the airport or strings are pulled I guess . So at this stage yes, just Pix and I.

Excellent news on the availability,

Decker and Pete as well..........God help the FA:D

[Bazz]

Buns, does that leave just you and LRoM on the upper deck in PE? will you guys change your seat assignments so you can sit together? When not invited to the bar of course

[Pete]

Well, I'm in 12A (So I can have a good gossip with Birkin) and I believe Decker is in 9K. Dunno who the two people in 7/8K are, but I wonder if VS should warn them...

Pete

[Bazz]

Well done Pete [y], Birkin will be pleased, she thought she would be looking at the back of my head most of the flight as I chatted to Onionz

[ChuckC]

If only there could be a photographer to capture the onboard merriment! Or better, one at the end of the jetway as the various VFlyers make their grand exit onto terra firma de USA! Can't wait to see you all but please, let's have some photos of your trip over the pond. As MCuth will not be with you, we will need someone who likes to insert photos into text to do a full on travelogue.

Regards,
Chuck-

What if all the fun is happenning on the upper deck in PE - sure me and Buns will have a riot of a time

[Bazz]

Richard, we will be sure you get to the bar, don't worry

One of the few bars I don't get asked for ID at

Thanks,

So that's your ploy to get 7/8 K to move upstairs into PE[}:)]:D[}:)]

I of course will be "resting" having had the first opportunity to sample the SFO Clubhouse and (perhaps) a blue drink or two[:I]

Why limit yourself to only two blue drinks - we've got to keep the momentum going that our illustrious social director mcuth has set

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I'm always on the lookout for competitions which I'll enter if I think the prize is worth a bob or two. Of course, I never expect to win, the last time I won a great prize was back in 1997 - 2 free tickets on Virgin to any destination (courtesy of the London Evening Standard) - I took my Mum to HKG for 3 weeks, faboulous!! So here's another opportunity to win one of four bmi tickets from MAN-LAS to attend the Las Vegas do. Terms and conditions apply, enter by June 18, you must be at least 21 and a UK resident.
