flight 0076 belfast to newark, then flight 1583 to las vegas.

Both United Airlines.

It's the way home that's going to be bad for me

Well I mean, it will be worse for everyone, you're on the way home and no excitement.

How long is your total estimated traveling time(inc scratching your hole in airports)do you know?

Im going on Wed, Belfast-London-Chicago-Vegas think its about 21 hrs in total, leave here about 7am and due into Vegas about 6pm local time.

Way back is about the same except its Houston instead of Chicago. Think Im on united airlines aswell

Deadst4r

On the way there, it's about 17.5 hours (not including bus to Belfast airport or bus from Vegas to hotel)

On way home, I'm going Vegas to Chicago, Chicago to London and London to Belfast.
It seems to be 16.5 hours.

Thats not to bad, where are you traveling from(to Belfast)?

I've ordered a shuttle bus through expedia to take me from airport to hotel in Vegas, think it was about $8 return.

Tailwind or whatever it's called is your friend there. The journey home is always an hour shorter back to London

or could just be a difference in stopovers in airports between connecting flights....my return trip is longer because of this

What provider are you using out of interest? This it? - https://www.expedia.com/things-to-do/shared-shuttle-mccarran-international-airport-las.a199239.activity-details

I live in South Belfast just, so pretty handy.

Wasn't sure what to do about Vegas to hotel as I haven't looked into it yet.

Was considering asking anyone on the same flight if they wanted to split a taxi/bus or whatever (with my girlfriend and I) as I am so keen to get into Vegas as soon as possible.

Anyone have any input as to what's the best option? I'm reading that it's best not to book in advance.

Its only 10/15 mins to the strip from the airport

Yup thats the one. I read that some taxis will rip you off by going long way round n stuff (same scare stories from every airport worldwide probably lol) so for all it costs thats why I'm doing the shuttle. I think I read it goes like every 15/30 mins

I'm just over on the Falls, so I'll probably be down in the cold outside Europa waiting for the airport bus on the Wednesday lol Not sure whether I'll be bothered walking with a suitcase though at that time of the morning(only takes me about 10 mins normally) or just get taxi, think my flight is out of the city airport so straight across westlink/m3 should be about tenner at most

If you're staying on the strip, most of the hotels are serviced by a free shuttle which runs 24hrs.

If you dont mind paying for a taxi though its shouldn't set you back any more than $30 (including tip) depending on where on the strip you are staying.

Has anyone read anything with regards to the amount of Irish heading over? There seemed to be more of a buzz for 189 but tickets for 194 were definitely way harder to get

Two reasons why 189 would have more Irish than 194 could be
1) Those who are going to America on their holidays anyway may just decide to go. Stags, J1s (myself included), holidays etc may be over there and fit in UFC 189 around their summer holidays.

2) It was in the summer so if you had no summer holidays planned you could make Vegas for a week(end) or whatever and going to the fight as your holiday.

The increasing difficulty for getting tickets for 194 could be because the card is seen as more appealing to the non-irish. McGregor is the only Irish fighter and himself and Gunni are the only SBG fighters. 189 had Seery, Pendred, McGregor and Gunni. 189 was a great card but 194 is even better too. There will still be a massive irish contingent there. Unfortunately not too many people can afford to head over twice a year and 194 is so close to Christmas too

Anyone flying out on Wednesday morning, Air Lingus to Chicago then Vegas?

I said that on the assumption that the outbound and inbound journey are the same.

My point was, every time I've gone to Las Vegas I've gone the same outbound/inbound and the home journey is always just over an hour less.

It's the north Atlantic jetstream, it blows west to east, it's always quicker going East from North America to Northern Europe. How fast depends on how active the stream is.

Seeing as its back to the future day I'll believe anything you say lads


Really wish I had a de lorean with a spare flux capacitor lying around right now so I could go and enjoy 194 right now

Mellor

The lads are right,
Scheduled flight time London to Vegas direct is 10h40m. The way back is 9h55m.

Was similar for me, except it was quicker getting to Vegas.

Weird that. I've done the same route each and every time and the way there is always longer.

Maybe it just feels longer cause I'm always super excited!

early rumour is UFC 195 according to DP. If concussion isn't there like a 60 day suspension which would rule out 194?

Whos going to win this fight and why ?

Whats each fighters strengths and their weaknesses ?

IMO Conors reach will be too much for Aldo and will evetually by knock out like the Mendes fight .

Wouldnt be surprised to see Aldo try take Conor down like Mendes did and negates Conors standing game ( i know Aldos is world class but there is a big reach advantage )

7 weeks to the day then i land in Vegas.

Cant come quick enough

He's trying to break his leg to force himself out of the fight again. What a dodgy little prick.

Jaysus just one of those kicks would put my ribs straight through my lungs!

In other news, it's mad to think that since Jose fought last, Conor KO/TKO'd Poirier, Siver and Mendes. This could be the greatest fight in mma history.

My God man it will be an absolute miracle if this card stays intact. I hope Dana personally visits every fighter on the main card and tell them how big a goof they'll be if they get injured.

It's mad to hear Conor saying he might go straight up to lightweight after beating aldo. I'd he does win, i was fully sure Frankie would get a shot (if he gets past chad). Holloway is delusional thinking he he'll get another go never mind anyone else at 145.

As for weidman, i always doubt him and then he looks great so I'm jumping on team chris this fight.

Any sentence that starts with "Dana said" or "Conor said" I'm immediately sceptical about. If Conor sticks at 145 Holloway has every chance of a shot again. He's come on a lot since his first fight with Conor.

Zero-Cool

Ah no, Max has every right at a shot after Frankie and if he beats Stephens but with the IV ban, I can't see Conor staying at 145 for long. I thought he'd at least owe it to Frankie to try but his recent interview saying he might go straight to LW reeked of 'I'm sick of the weight cut'

Well every weigh in he's going through he looks worse and worse but I honestly think he realises Frankie is up there with Aldo. If he beats Aldo I think he will want to fight frankie. Which proves your point about Max I guess lol
