I was in contact with Paul Speak on Saturday and altho he has mentioned a name for travel arrangements he confirmed it is also ok for me to offer my professional services on the site too, so for anyone who needs flights and hotels my office number is 0161 236 7958 and my email address is
OK I’ve just checked out both the MGM and Paris hotels and for 4 nights (18th-22nd) based on two adults sharing (two doubles), the MGM comes in at $680 and Paris is slightly more expensive at $770. That’s not bad - works out at like £45-£50 a night each.
Anyone wanting to use the direct BMI flight Manchester-Las Vegas Thursday 18th Jan returning Sunday 21st, there are 2 seats left at £491 + taxes of £129.60 in economy, once those 2 seats are gone, the cost will then be £995 + taxes of £149.60 in premium economy, which is extra legroom but economy service.
I have blocked those 2 seats off so anyone who wants them can phone me or email me and I can then hopefully hold the seats for 3 days at that price before needing to confirm or cancel them, so it’s a case of 1st come 1st served.
At the moment they are held in my name so if anyone wants them I have to cancel them and then hope they re-appear in the system to grab them again for anyone interested, this direct flight only operates Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday going out, and the same days coming back, it is the only scheduled direct flight to Las Vegas from Manchester.
The times are..
Manchester-Las Vegas 0905 arrives 1150
Las Vegas-Manchester 1350 arrives 0740 next day.
So ur gaining a lot of time in Vegas on the day of arrival compared to if ur changing somewhere but it is more expensive than flying indirect, I’ve just held the 2 seats for the timebeing for anyone who can’t be doin with changing planes who is flying from Manchester.
I’ve only looked at Manchester for now and the direct flights are already busy that weekend, also I’ve just noticed that return flights that week Las Vegas-Manchester direct are only Thursdays and Sundays, NOT Tuesdays as I thought, I can check availability and prices for any other airports if people let me know which is best for them.
There are cheaper options changing once but I’m sure there are some people who will want to pay extra for a direct flight from Manchester, also when going via wherever try to allow 3 hours between flights on the way out as anything less might mean you won’t make the connecting flight, don’t always believe the airlines when they reckon you can do it in an hour and a half, especially via Chicago
I believe my attentive service before, during, and after ur stay with regards to any changes or queries will be dealt with faster, and in a far superior manner than a reservation consultant at any of the airlines, as a lot of them are hopeless or not at all helpful based on my experiences with them over the last 6 years, I’m sure Debs will agree that I am very helpful And all this for just an extra £18 based on the Manchester costs, being Hatton forum members I will give u my utmost attention and also offer u my mobile number for any urgent requests so I wud be available 24 hours a day ;D
As much as I would value your personal attention Chris, it’s not really worth the extra hassle of driving up the M6 and changing in Philly. I’ll save the £33 and fly direct from Gatwick cheers, unless you’ve got any better suggestions.
