Another good reason to justify staying at the Burj[:p]

Bit late for Sarah, James and a few others that have stayed this year though.....

DXB loads are looking very good for the next few months also, VS must be chuffed with how it's developed since March.....

Typically, James and I discovered this after we got back from DXB. Probably for the best though ... wouldn't want to ruin a perfectly god trip, and friendship, by fighting over those miles And it was a lot of miles, wasn't it James?

Thanks,
Sarah

Indeed Sarah, it would have been quite a lot of miles

Oh well, there's always next time [:w]

Regards

Woohoo!! Off there next monthm stayoing at the Jumeirah Beach - and getting miles for it. Bonus!

Fantastic, we've just booked 6 nights at Dar Al Masyaf @ Madinat Jumeirah in April That coupled with 6 miles per £ for the VS flight on AMEX is a mega miles earning opportunity

Hmm. Have I missed something? How are you getting 6 miles per £ for the flight? Assuming you have the Amex black, like I do, I thought that only gave 4? Hopefully you are going to tell me I'm mistaken!

If you "upgraded" from a previous VS mastercard, there's an introductory offer for extra miles per £ spent. I'm guessing that's what vegascrazy's refering to. [:w]

For those that have travelled to Dubaii, can anyone tell me if its possible to stay at this hotel just for a few days and then carry on to another location, not sure I would want my whole vacation to be there but would love to try it prehaps on the way to somewhere else with VA.

EGG - Do you mean another location as in another country, or another hotel?

I stayed for one night at the Burj with James and then transferred to another hotel, not a problem at all - and the Burj even supplied the chauffeur to take me to the other hotel.

If you are referring to location, other UAE countries, Asia and the Maldives are only a short hop away from DXB. Emirates has a huge network so you can pretty much head off anywhere from there. I am toying with a DXB/MLE trip myself ....

Thanks,
Sarah

Mmm. I had the original Mastercard (just cancelled) and last year's Amex (cancelled just before I applied for new black amex). Sounds like I took the wrong route! Just my luck... [ii]

Thanks,

I was thinking of prehaps three nights in the Dubaii one and then carrying on to another country, would love to be papmered in the Sail at Dubaii but would quickly get tired of it and would want to move on, Maldives may be, was thinking can I get to Oz from there.

Direct flight to SYD from DXB with Emirates, so yes. Lots of other options too, BKK, HKG, etc ... Also SIN with SQ etc ...

Thanks,
Sarah

Yep I was referring to the 6 miles for every £1 you spend at Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Holidays offer with the new MBNA AMEX black card - valid until 31/7/07. Just waiting to pay for next year's Great Escapade on it (purchased direct from VA) to earn a whopping 45,000 miles in one go

Cheers,

James
