Wp and gl on the tables.

I don't mind having a mooch about the web and see what I can dig up.
If you let me know your preferred airport/s, dates (package dates or going out before?), and if you'd be happy to fly indirect, I'll get on it straight away.
Don't forget your ESTA!
VWP last night.
My good luck message at the Dym tables worked.
Will have a look around for you bud.
Behave Stoke!
Obviously it's peak season for Vegas, so all the best flights (and connecting flights) have been mostly snapped up. Found a couple of flights that might be of interest.
First one is from Aberdeen. It's a 2 stop job, but I wouldn't be too put off by that. Leaves Aberdeen at 08.30, arrives Heathrow at 10.00. Leaves Heathrow at 12.50 and arrives in New York at 15.40. Leaves NY at 17.00 and arrives in Vegas at 19.55. Total travel time is about 19.5 hours. Similar itinerary coming back, leave Vegas at 08.41 to Chicago, then Chicago overnight to Heathrow, and then onwards to Scotland, landing at sunny Aberdeen at 11.30 on the Monday morning. Price is £699, using a combo of British Airways and American Airlines (flown long haul with both, both fine)
If you can get to Manchester, the other flight is from there and is a one stop flight. Manchester - Chicago - Vegas, leaving MANC at 09.30 and getting into Vegas at 15.30. Coming back is just the reverse, leaving Vegas at 08.41 and landing back into Manchester at 06.55 via Chicago. This is £693 on American Airlines.
Unfortunately that's just about it, unless you want to spend a lot more than the prices above. There are one stop flights from Scotland, but the travel times involved are absurd, so I wouldn't be put off by the 2 stop one from Aberdeen.
One benefit of flying indirect is that you will go through US customs/immigration at the first entry point, so when you land in Vegas you are a domestic passenger and can breeze straight out the airport and straight to the Strip.
I don't know where you are based in relation to Aberdeen, but I'd be inclined to snap up that flight above if you want to keep the price down as much as possible, without having a 10 hour+ wait in an airport.
If I can do anything else then just yell.
Edit - Sent.
oooh, well done lundie.
Nice one Lundie. I'll see you there.
I must admit this thread has just baffled me. If you were Sky Poker and you had one last freeroll where you were going to give away a valuable package for a once in a lifetime trip isn't it a total no-brainer that you attempt to give it to a loyal regular customer? Posting to say I don't really play all that much on Sky but I'd quite like a holiday feels like quite a weak argument.
Must agree though, it seems its just the same stuff over and over again on this forum, very casual players constantly thinking they should be rewarded or compensated for playing here just as much as regs/pros, get over it and stop complaining every time a promotion does not suit you, the entitlement generation......
WOW check out the irony, as I posted that, there comes Nslater again with COMPENSATE ME FOR THE TIME I SPEND ON HERE, are you being serious ffs? you ppl are crazy ITS A FUPPING BUSINESS! Why would they reward a customer who spends £10 as much as a customer who spends £100? Where do these ideas even stem from? What makes you think you are entitled to as much as everyone else?
It looked like a really good shot at winning a massive prize for playing five hours two-tabling £20 games. While I appreciate that £20 is above the average players stakes it hardly seems completely impossible to ever imagine. It is also possible to play four tables or more and the time period was 28 hours so maybe 10 hours 2-tabling £10.
I guess if the promotion asked people to earn 500 then 80 people may have made the freeroll and we'd have a thread full of people complaining that the freeroll is useless as there are too many people in it.
I read one person saying he wouldn't be around during the time, one saying he takes months to play those amounts and one saying that he doesn't play at all. That was what baffled me. Should the promos reward people that don't play on the site?
There were loads of Vegas packages given away this year and I thought there was a really well thought out plan to give some to different types of players, it was possible to win them in super-sats and to get them through freerolls. My understanding is that this package was one that came up at the last minute and I thought it made sense to offer it to people playing poker right now.
I certainly did not say that low stakes players are not loyal, my point was totally that people who play are loyal players, whether they play high stakes or low stakes, my point was totally that people who posted to say they had no chance of getting 1000 points because they are infrequent players or they do not play at all are not as loyal as the regulars that this promotion was intending to reward.
As in all of these things my surprise is that people seem confused that when Sky Poker offers promotions and rewards they aim them at people who play on the site.
