I see BA are pulling their LGW - LAS service next year - must be good news for VS....

I understand that BA will eventually have 11 flights a week from LHR to LAS all on 747s.
More options for me as getting to LGW is very inconvenient since BA discontinued the connection from Manchester.
Looking forward to a few nights in Vegas in November, getting there indirectly via SFO and SAN.
Must go and get my bag out of the loft!

I've found Manchester to Vegas by train to be a good option. 2:15 to Euston, 10 minute walk, 35 minutes on train, on the platform. Can be there in just over 3 hours, which is a challenge for a flight, with luggage...

Wow - that sounds a lot easier than the 11 hour flight from Gatwick ! :D

Lol, correct... Would be nice, eh?

Reminds me of looking at amtrak for a train to Las Vegas, and realising it was Las Vegas New Mexico. Could be worse...
