......... speaking of which: I'm right in thinking Chris is going to organise a discount at said hotel before we book - am I not?

My flight with Virgin cost me £950

I'm flying out Thursday 19th July (VS019) and back on Sunday 19th Aug (VS 20) - both ways with Virgin Atlantic - no stops!

Anyone else going with the same carrier on either of those dates?

Bob

Just booked with Virgin, same flights Bob (£876)

I though that Chris was making the hotel reservations in advance or is this just for the 16th onwards?

I will be sorting out the 1st hotel in Novato in the next few weeks when I know everyone's flight details

Any idea of what size the ratchet straps need to be for restrainig the bikes in the container? I was working on 4-6ft and 25mm wide.

Seat upgraded - go check deals on Virgin Atlantic !!

Mr Garfield Esquire - and anyone else reading this thread.

On checking my flight details a couple of days ago I saw that Virgin Atlantic had an upgrade to Premium Economy RETURN for just £250, so grabbed the chance and upgraded

I had earlier seen that it was £450 so prices will change, go check your flight details on their site and you may be pleasantly surprised. I often travel on Premium Economy, and it's definitely worth the little extra for a once-in-a-lifetime-trip to Alaska - apart from the Sarge (and maybe Garfield).

I'm flying virgin but in premium economy for a smudge more than the price you show...

[Wilburt]

Bob,

Just checked and it's at £328 now
