Some Advice needed ......

When I look at Event 54 (the one I think I'm in) then it starts on July 3rd and (if I read things right) day 6 is on Sunday July 13th. Am I correct? I suspect if I'm still in play (fat chance!) by day 6 then I won't care about rebooking the flight 'cos I'll have a huge wad of money coming to me.

So is it a good idea for me to book flights going out on (say) June 29th and coming back on Monday july 14th? Flights are looking expensive (lot more than you guys got them for) - I'm going to need the $3000 expenses that Everest paid me - especially if I try to keep up with the youngsters in terms of partying

This is only 200 cheaper and is from 29th to 7th........if i were you and you can afford spending money for 2 weeks, id book the 1st one i posted.

[morlspin]

or booking separately.....

Virgin flights = 2000miles and £671 direct from 2nd to 14th....nothing with miles earlier
US Airways = £601 indirect via charlotte from the 29th to 14th

Hotels = anywhere from 400 to 1000+

[philossify]

So I just phone up Expedia and they'll do it all or are they just the flights - I defo go for first one as I'll be considering this a holiday and flying all that way I wan't to spenf a fair amount of time. Cheers for the search.
