Cheap flights
Am guessing that people on here are constantly flying back and forth to visit their loved ones. Does anyone know any good places for cheap flights from USA to UK. The cheapest we could find for august was $1000.

I just picked dates around end of August returning in 2 weeks it gave me a number of dates and cost for outward and inward journey. I guess your dates must be different to those i used.
Damn! Would have paid $630. I did every date within the last 2 weeks of august and let it run 2 weeks into sept. and coudnt get below $900. Its a conspiracy

Try very near dates; if you can find an airlline that still has capacity with less than two weeks to go the prices often drop substantially.

The last 2 times we went, we found thomascook.com to have the best price for our tickets. This time, it is www.airlinenetwork.co.uk .

Try www.sidestep.com
I found it for $761pp. Leaving Aug 13, returning Aug 27 with Delta - San Francisco to Gatwick via Cincinatti.
Maybe it's worth the hour drive north to SFO?

Thanks people for all your input, greatly appreciated. Finally settled on round trip from Sacramento to London landing next saturday through priceline.com for $690.
So my better half is coming to see me for a while, first time i've smiled since the whole K1 thing started.
Just out of curiosity, USC coming to visit, can she just use VWP and say she is visiting or will she have to supply all kinds of proof or intention to return to US?
(there is absolutely no intention to marry on this trip and she is going home)
