Cheapest way to get to Vegas for a week (flying) in May 2013

As the title suggests really, what are my options? 2 adults, no ties, have car, will travel to any airport.

Cheapest will involve at least one change and staying over on a Saturday night. Probably using a US carrier

Assuming your flying from London..check out United Airlines or American Airlines. They fly to most US cities thats of course assuming you want to fly. You could try a cargo boat but that will take a week.

1, Avoid half-term week, and also any American public holidays (Veterans day?).

2, Consider a connection, rather than a direct flight. eg, flying with AA via ORD / DFW or DL via ATL or UA via lots of hubs or LH via FRA or KL via AMS or AF (if you're feeling lucky) via CDG is likely to be cheaper, but take longer than flying direct with BA or VS.

3, Avoid half-term week.

4, Check out packages, which may work out cheaper than booking flight and hotel separately.

5, Avoid half-term week.

6, Either book as early as possible, or wait for the airlines' January sales. Don't leave it to the last minute.

7, Whatever you do, avoid half-term week .

Try flying out of Dublin if you can, we did this in 2010. Flew from Dublin to heathrow then direct to Vegas with BA and saved £1k, the saving has something to do with the origin of your trip being outside of the uk.

According to Skyscanner, you can do certain dates from Belfast Int for £400 return in May with United.

I live within 20 miles of Belfast and it was still £1k cheaper for me to dive the 100 miles to Dublin and fly out of there.

We used Delta via a stop in Detroit last year...we did book flights and hotel together but it was only £615pp. This was also in May. We just called up Dial-A-Flight and they did the rest.

Best price on Dial A Flight right now is £564pp - which I know is the Delta flight as I just checked their website.

The one stop isn't too bad to be honest.

Good luck, well worth it
