Has anyone flown this route? What kind of entertainment did the 'planes have, were there seatback TVs? Any info on this route would be great.

Thanks :D

Not flown to Vegas with them but we flew with them on our honeymoon to St Lucia last February. I was very impressed with them as an airline and I have travelled on quite a few. We travelled in economy and the configuration of seats was 2-3-2 leg room was fine. There were seat back TVs with a good choice of films. The staff were realy nice and the service was good. I believe that they have started charging for alcohol in economy but soft drinks are still free.

They also offer New Economy which gives you extra legroom in a seperate cabin however we walked through this to get to our seats and I was glad I hadn't paid the extra. It looked as if you got more leg room but the seats didn't actually look any bigger.

I would travel with them again with no hesitation and would in fact choose them even if there was a choice of airlines on a route. Hope this helps.:smile:

This is very true, we paid an extra £800 for 2 to upgrade to The New Ecoonomy to Barbados in November, we were very dissapionted, the seats are no wider, the only difference is the couple of inches leg room. The menu is the same.

Not worth it.

Thanks both of you. :D

As they are the only direct flights to Vegas from Manchester, it would save going down to London - sounds OK.
