As there seems a lot on the same flight shall we pre book the seats together?


10 hours of chinese poker sounds good


lol

What seats are you guys on?


we didnt book seats - should we?


I have always found the seats to be more comfortable than the floor and the cargo bay is bloody cold.

If you go to www.seatguru.com you can see that your seats are near the back of the aircraft which will mean that you"ll be near the back of the customs queue as well. You might like to consider moving nearer the front as, after a near 11 hour flight, a long wait at customs is right PITA!! :-*

Just a thought.

Have a nice day :)

+1 on that...although Immigration will take most of the time rather than customs (but I guess that"s what Richard meant)...however, you will get some of the time back as by the time you get through Immigration your bag should be on the carousel and you"ll sail through customs...particularly in T2 at McCarran.

Flying in First or PE means you"re first into Immigration (if another flight doesn"t arrive just before yours) but waiting for your bag....usually.

Just picked an available block that had the most seats still available so other degens could join us at the back of the bus.

Being at the front in a group means you can prop bet on whose bag comes onto the carousel first...$10 a head.

Been there, done that more than once....but I"m a degen,  ;D

I would have thought proximity to the complimentary bar would have been a factor to consider.

That too but it"s better upstairs, less competition for the trolley dollies" attention and a dedicated galley.

I believe the best Economy seats are, obviously, by the doors on the main floor which are, handily, right next the downstairs galley...rows 27 -30 I think.

The best seat is one where you don"t have some twat sat in front of you who needs to spend the whole journey with their seat laid back as far as it will possibly go!!
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

I know...but I don"t think I can qualify as a 747 pilot before November.  ;D

Just to re-iterate the point, it"s definitely worth registering your Total Rewards card, if you have one, on the Harrah"s website.

I"ve never put a penny in a slot or played any house games in a Harrah"s property... I have played a few low buy-in WSOP events, some touranments at Ceasars and a few cash sessions at Bally"s, all of which get logged on the card.

This is the deal i got -
