The Booking Request Form entitles you, the bearer, to one return flight offer as specified, to one of the featured destinations. To obtain the flight you will be required to provide 3 alternative destinations and 3 alternative travel dates. Our booking agent will use all reasonable endeavours to meet your booking requests but this cannot be guaranteed and, in such circumstances, you will be offered an alternative.Still, if you're lucky enough to grab a coveted LHR to JFK slot, then a spot-check shows flights starting at about £400 in August 2009. In other words, the laptop is nearly free if you were already headed in that direction. So go ahead, you like to gamble, right?

What month is 24? is like December in Zulu time :)
That's how civilised people format dates :)
Silly American. It's the logical way of writing dates.
In case you don't know this: That actually is the date format we use in Europe (= 24 of June 2009).
Uh, sorry for this unnecessary explanation if you're only joking.. ;)
we would use 24.6.2009 here. especially to help differentiate it from the wrong american way.
Nice try fellas, but the truth is Europe has between 28 and 31 months but only 12 days.
Yea that was just poking fun. Thats all. It could get confusing though if the day is the 12th or earlier. But it'd be to easy if everyone just did the same as everyone else.
Yea it would be easier if America used the logical way of formatting the date, smallest time unit to largest instead of medium, small, large :P
Honestly they are both right, its more of how you want to say the date. I'm not sure why the 24th in June is much better then June 24th, especially concidering its shorter to say June 24th anyways
the thing is that if the date is like 6.7.09 then how would people interpret that? Americans as the 7th June, and everyone as the 6th of July
Wouldn't the logical way sorting dates be largest to smallest? That way you can sort files and such by date effectively.
An amazing promotion. I wonder if Dell will lose money on this!
Too bad this doesn't work the other way around. I'd love to try to get some Top Gear tickets and fly to the U.K. to see it live.
I hear the wait time for top gear tix is currently several years so unless you're holding them right now, you're too late :-)
Typically these offers exclude airport fees, taxes and various "administration charges". I'd be surprised if the free flight costs less than £300 anyway
Hahah, that's like those "£0.01" Ryanair flights, plus £50-worth of fees and taxes.
Actually the new EU legislation means that they can't advertise a price which isn't including all taxes and charges. The only thing they're allowed to add is a credit card charge, which is exactly what they say the in the terms and conditions is not included.
So expect to pay < a tenner for the flights...
Actually, all these fees ARE included in the free promotion. Read the T&Cs. You only need to pay for "extras" and the surcharge for Credit Cards.
I am willing to pay $600-$700 for Dell Studio, if it includes return tickets to UK.
So, what is Dell's environmental policy these days?
lol..you read my mind. Buy and get free trip... then return it with bsod... :D or kernel panic assuming it is linux... :D
Just bought a studio 15 from dell on the 9th =/..
However, they had a save £180 deal. so got
T6400 - Processor HD4570 GFX 3GB for £536
Now its £716... Prefer the other deal to be honest..
