cool deal! just wondering, does anyone know of any good forums for just travel deals, accumulating miles, hotel deals and that sort of thing. Thanks.

I would never take any of these travel deals..I got pulled into it once and they try to put all these hidden fees..what a rip.

Says the free hotel stay is available at the following:

SPCL OFFER REGENT PALACE * SPCL OFFER CENTRAL PARK * SPCL OFFER POSTHOUSE KENSINGTON * SPC OFFER PARAGON * SPCL OFFER PLAZA ON HYDE PARK * SPCL OFFER GRESHAM HYDE PARK * SPCL OFFER MERCURE CITY BANKSIDE * SPCL OFFER HOLIDAY INN KENSINGTON SOUTH * SPCL OFFER THISTLE KENSINGTON GARDENS * SPCL OFFER ROYAL NATIONAL * SPCL OFFER HOLIDAY INN REGENTS PARK

anyone know which of the above is good or the $100 credit is better?

I used to live in London, though I can't actually place most of these hotels, the ones in Kensington would be a nice place for a tourist. Kensington is fairly central. The Thistle hotel is near where I used to live, it is pretty nice and in a very good location.

any of the hotels in kensington should be decent... avoid the royal national.... big and crummy....

Last x-mas I stayed at the Plaza on Hyde Park... very modern hotel design in a large building... it was very ice hotel, big clean bright room, free breakfast, and a 24 hour internet cafe about 2 blocks down thats open 24/7 (I went there on Christmas day when everything else was closed)

 

[elfbomber]

seems like a good deal...
bump.

 

[jasonplee]

Looks like a good deal! What's London like this time of year?

 

[emaij]

If anyone actually does this, please report back how much it actually cost in total - including taxes, airport fees, and whatever else they sneak in there.

Thanks.

London's wet, cold and cloudy this time of year. No fun at all.

Since this is through the actual airline company, I would imagine it may be a little bit more reputable in special flight deals than other internet agencies and such. Anyone deal with BA before?

 

[unique]

I've done one of these BA flight+hotel deals before. Good deal, nice hotel (can't remember which one though). Hotel included continental breakfast (which is of little use if you wake up hungry in the morning!).

 

[wluk]

i think this is a great offer. thanks for the deal.

 

[Ashish]

Fares subject to government approval and do not include government fees/taxes between $90 and $110 per person.

 

[alm4rr]

the fees were already put into the equation in the top post

Unfortunately the cheaper prices are from NY only. I priced a trip from San Francisco and it came out to be 1800 for two people.

 

[alm4rr]

heh of course man. This is an East Coast deal. You have to add 3k miles more for your trip. But I imagine you can get great deals to Alaska, Hawaii, Asia, and Australia, and Afghanistan.

If only we had Cuba - it would be Hawaii for the East Coast (but we'd have to figure out what to do with all the Cubans first)

That's strange. The BA Web site says that the fare each way from SF is $194. That's $85 more per person each way. 2 round trips per person = $340 more than the price would be using the fare each way for the original post.

Something doesn't add up or you've found the hidden costs. What are they?


DARNED ITALICS WON'T TURN OFF....GRRRRR!

I just turned off the WYSIWG Editor. Maybe this'll work now.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Kensington a couple of years ago. Great location, typical American style Holiday Inn (which is good thing!). Regular rate was $220 I think, but they take Entertainment Club cards so I got it for 50% off. It was by far the best value I could get in London at the time.
