February - most people don't want to go to the UK for the tail end of winter

Re: When is the cheapest time of year to fly to the UK?
Thanks for the replies everyone - I'll try and spread some karma later.
I'll start looking into some Feb dates (and dig out our old coats - do you think they'll be back in fashion after 2.5 years of no use
). Nov is too soon for this year and too late for next.
Cheers

Re: When is the cheapest time of year to fly to the UK?
Just to update.
I had a look on Zuji last night and found out that you could put in flexible dates over several month (they couldn't do that last time I looked - which is why I asked the question here).
I put in a search for Jan-Sep and it came back with a couple of options less than $8000 (including taxes) for 2 adults and 3 kids (I have to ring up about the infant). The Austrian Airways option was in Jan/Feb (but with an overnight connection in VIE on the return leg). The Cathay one was slightly more but much more flexible and didn't require an overnight stay.
I think I'll give Flight Centre a call. Last time they were able to undercut Zuji.
Cheers
