Ladies and Gentlemen
Welcome to the V-Flyer Social Mk IV - 'Viva Las V-Flyer'
The plan is quite simple - after a few very successful social gatherings in the UK, we have decided to spread our wings, and take the show on the road (or to be more accurate - into the sky).
Never ones to think small, our first jaunt overseas will be to the fabulous city of Las Vegas, and all visitors to V-Flyer are cordially invited to join in the fun.
Click this link for the latest news - the September update.
If you check out the forums, there are several threads running about the trip, but in summary - Because we are not ABTA or ATOL bonded, and because lots of our happy band want to make use of their FC points, we have decided that all transatlantic travel arrangements will be left up to individual attendees. Having said that, you can see from the forums that the bulk of those travelling will be returning on the same flight... more of that later.
The plan is to meet in Vegas on or around Monday 7th November 2005 where we will remain until either Friday 11th or Saturday 12th November, depending on your own personal choice.
Once we get to Vegas, – jetwet1, with his contacts at the Stratosphere, has been able to negotiate an excellent room rate of $45 per night for Premier Tower Rooms. There is no obligation to make use of this offer, but it would be nice if the bulk the group was together.
Members are welcome to join us for however long they want during this period - whether that's all the days or just a couple. We are planning a number of events during the course of the get together... details to be announced soon.
The bulk of the V-Flyer party are returning to the UK on Saturday 12th November, on VS20 which leaves SFO at 1645. By a very happy coincidence, this will give us chance to have an 'end of trip fling' in everyone's favourite Clubhouse. ;)
Don't worry too much if you don't plan to travel UC or are not a Gold card holder, we currently have several such people - who are willing to invite a guest to join them.
This thread will remain a sticky and, in the not too distant future, I will be adding a list of attendees and their dates of travel.
So.... what are you waiting for?... come and join us.
It should be a great trip.
If you are interested, please post a reply to this thread and we will be in touch.

Sorry Nick - Hope you don't mind, but I've hijacked the front page, to put the "consolidated list" of flyers up...
Obviously not forgetting Dave & Chuck, who are relatively on-site, I've pulled the list of confirmed flights from members throughout the 12 pages of info here into this very basic list. If we can get the internal flights detailed, too, we will have a definitive list for people to make plans against. I'm happy to collate info if anyone has any additions/corrections, and I'll put the seat numbers (where they're mentioned) up in the morning
Confirmed Flights for V-Flyers: (Apologies for formatting!)
