    They should get some Movie Stars to advertise their flights - Ralph Fiennes perhaps!

    I agree that they would not make any money on the Orlando route as most of it is families who won't pay that sort of money for a flight ticket.

    Mind you, the 30 minute check in and personal service, where they take your bags from you and bring you your boarding pass sounds wonderful.

    Shame Luton is so far away for us

    We've booked Maxjet for Vegas in August. just over £1000 for the two of us. PE would never be this cheap in August. Seats go down to 170 degrees - 180 is flat so not bad at all. Their reviews are very good as well.

    If anyone can suggest hotels in Vegas that have great bedrooms(I know you don't spend much time in them) but NOT the Wynn, Bellagio, Signature, Mandalay or Venetian. They wanted over £1000 for 7 nights. Don't mind paying, but not that much just for a week.

    Silverjet have good reviews on another forum.

    Monte Carlo is nice, but ask for a room high up as there are reports about poor noise levels (see if you can get upgraded to the concierge level). Off-strip Rio is also nice.

    We've stayed at the Luxor and liked it but it's not the best location being at the end of the strip.
    A friend went to TI last year and thought that was very good [msnsmile]

    I found this site useful when we were looking for accommodation there last year. It lists all the hotel special offers and is updated as new ones are added. http://www.vegashotelspecial.com/

    Found one of the first reviews.......

    Silverjet flies from its own terminal at Luton to Newark. You can arrive 30 minutes before departure. The big surprise for me was there are no check-in desks. You just turn up at the private lounge. I came by train from St Pancras and took the free shuttle taxi from Luton Parkway run by the airline. Someone took my bags when we pulled up outside and I was directed straight into the lounge. Everything's brand-new, very sleek and there were plenty of snacks and drinks available. I had a glass of champagne and then someone came up and took my passport. That was it. They came back a little later with my boarding card. Security clearance was fast because we were the only flight going through - this is the big advantage of having your own terminal. Few baggage restrictions: I took an overnight bag, a briefcase and a laptop on board. Or you can check in two cases up to 30kg each. Aboard you get flat beds and you can eat when you want, not when they decide you have to eat - which I much prefer. Luton is not so good for connections but in my opinion Newark beats JFK hands-down. It's a much more pleasant airport to arrive in. I paid £999 which I think is excellent value compared to business class on other airlines. The service was as good or in many ways better.
